Social Media

Facebook is so popular. Everyone, or,  almost everyone, has a page, and share their lives with us everyday, from "what's for lunch?", to the heartache after a break-up, or the loves of their lives.

Facebook was littered with funny little stories on the 1st of April.  Did you get in on the fun as well?  I read somewhere some women announced they were expecting, some friends were adopting a child from China; another said that he had rechecked his lottery ticket and had actually won!  He even posted a Photoshopped picture of his lottery ticket.

Prom season is quickly approaching, and you know what that means. Grab your favorite country star and get him to help you snag a date for the dance! Well, it worked for one Owensboro Ky. teen and Jake Owen.

We all like to share our opinions and “likes” all over the internet, so the geniuses at Pinterest created a way for us to just clip, collect and post the things we see and love, and then share them with the world.

These days, just about everybody is on some form of social media. However, that doesn’t mean they want to share their information with everybody. According to a Pew Research Center survey of 2,267 adults, 58 percent of social media users set their profile to private.

Many employers these days readily admit to scoping out the social media profiles of potential hires during the interview process. But what if all that Googling could be replaced with a single ID scan from a card you carry in your wallet?

Now that people are getting more used to being on social networks like Facebook they seem to be getting more picky about whom they are sharing their information with. According to a survey from the Pew Research Center, 63 percent of social media network users removed people from their friend rolls in 2011, which was up from the 56 percent of those who did so in 2009.

She was seemingly country music’s final holdout, but with the release of her new song ‘Good Girl’ Carrie Underwood has decided to join Twitter. The singer signed on just before 12PM ET on Friday, and within an hour was following 18 people and had over 10,000 followers.

It’s pretty common for companies to scout out the social media accounts of prospective hires — and now a new study from Northern Illinois University says Facebook profiles are actually a pretty good predictor of job performance.

Family dinners for one Minnesota clan probably got a lot more uncomfortable after an uncle was sued for posting embarrassing photos of his nephew on Facebook. Unfortunately for the embarrassed nephew, it seems that a district court says the lawsuit has no merit.
