Wall Street Journal Talks “Twuating” (Sorta)
The Wall Street Journal has an article about owning your personal name on social media sites such as LinkedIn, MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. What they’re really talking about is twuating. 😉
Is Facebook Making You Think Like a Baby?
There’s a recent British study indicating that use of Facebook might “drive human brains and behavior in negative directions” and that minds of FB users might become “infantilized, characterized by short attention spans, sensationalism, inability to empathize and a shaky sense of identity.”
It’s a good thing I started spending more time on Twitter!
Free iTunes Music from Facebook
As a member of the Apple Students group in Facebook, I got a notification about free iTunes music. 20 tunes as part of a music sampler. Never heard of the artists, but free is free.
If you’re a Facebook member, get your free music from the Apple Students group.

Facebook Frenzy
My activity on Facebook’s been picking up recently with the addition of a bunch of classmates. Seems like more and more of us are popping up on Facebook, the old fart’s MySpace.
Been catching up with the lives of classmates by snooping around their FB profiles. Interesting, fun, but time consuming. I need to chillax a bit on adding more FB friends.
Good thing Facebook is blocked at work… um, sorta…
Playing with Ping.fm
Now that Ping.fm is out of private beta, anyone can sign up for an account. The purpose of Ping.fm is to update all your social networks in one shot. So if you have accounts with Twitter, Facebook, Plurk, Pownce, MySpace, Tumblr, FriendFeed, Jaiku, Rejaw, Delicious, and more, Ping.fm can update these services all at once.
Looks like you can even update your social network status using an iPhone optimized Ping.fm “app” or even through IM with GoogleTalk.
