Yesterday Social media is everywhere. And growing.
Social media can provide of wealth of knowledge, but it also has many pitfalls.
At what age is it OK to begin using social media?
What does Mark Zuckerberg have against breastfeeding moms? Dave reported this morning a Sacramento mom's Facebook Page was locked down for 24 hours by the social media giant. This isn't the first time a breastfeeding support page was taken down by Facebook. But should it have been?
March 29, 2013 Last week, a man announced his plan to personally visit all 788 of his Facebook friends.
Sound a little scary?
What percentage of your Facebook friends do you regularly talk to?
In December, Dave Vitali was going to see his daughter when he got into a serious accident.He flipped his pickup truck, and hung upside down and bleeding with his only comfort being that his trusty dog Max was by his side and okay. Unfortunately, when the ambulances came the sirens scared the golden retriever, and Max ran away
It's a scenario which has played out in countless homes over the years. The kids want a puppy, but the dad isn't so sure it's a good idea.
But when the Cordell girls, Cadence, 12, and Emerson, 9, went to their father Ryan with their canine request, he added a social media clause -- he would get his daughters a dog if they could get one million likes on Facebook.
January 10, 2013 Most of us are on Facebook, right? We keep up with family, friends, events, causes, the works. Everybody and their Grandmother seems to be on Facebook.
If there's anything the internet loves, it's a creative marriage proposal. Now that the best ones end up on YouTube for all to see, it has become harder and harder to come up with a truly unique proposal. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.
October 10, 2012 Every time you get a "like" on Facebook, you get a hug!
No, for real, you get a hug, that is if you're wearing the newest creation by designer, Melissa Kit Chow, Andy Payne and Phill Seaton from the MIT Media Lab.
I talked about this new invention on the radio show yesterday morning, "Andy In The Morning."
Melissa designed her "Like-A-Hug" vest that will inflate to simulate the feeling of a hug when you receive a “like” on Facebook. I'm not kidding.
May 1, 2012 Facebook is about connecting and sharing right? You probably connect with your friends, family, your community and maybe even people you have never met before. You share information about your life, work, school, your interests. Now, today, on your timeline, if you are on Facebook you can share that you are an organ donor. Mark Zuckerberg once again is trying to change the way we do things.
According to a new survey, your friends might not be as enamored with the photos you post on Facebook as you are.
November 17, 2011 Oops! Facebook doesn't work when you try to buy ketchup.
What? Buy ketchup on Facebook? Yep!
New Facebook changes have been made to the number one social media site, according to a Facebook blog posted yesterday.
The most dramatic change Facebook users will notice is a change in Facebook news feeds. Rather than appearing in chronological order, Facebook news feeds will now be displayed by each individual's viewing habits.
Facebook explained its change:
"When you pick up a newspaper after not reading it for a week, the front page quickly clues you into the most interesting stories. In the past, News Feed hasn't worked like that. Updates slide down in chronological order so it's tough to zero in on what matters most.
Now, News Feed will act more like your own personal newspaper. You won't have to worry about missing important stuff. All your news will be in a single stream with the most interesting stories featured at the top. If you haven't visited Facebook for a while, the first things you'll see are top photos and statuses posted while you've been away. They're marked with an easy-to-spot blue corner."
The other major change announced yesterday was a real-time ticker which is designed to allow friends to instantly join conversations over new posts.
