As much as you may love to over-share on Facebook, you probably shouldn't talk to much about your job. This rule is particularly important when it comes to bitching about your boss. Take as an example the screen-cap above, in which a young woman complains "OMG I HATE MY JOB!! My boss is a total pervvy wanker always making me do shit stuff just to piss me off! WANKER!!" Too bad she didn't stop to think that she added that "wanker" as a Facebook friend.
What do Hayden Panettiere, Lindsay Lohan and super model Chanel Iman have in common? All three, among other talents of 2009, are featured in this month's Glamour magazine which pays homage to Michelle Obama, Amelia Earhart, Carrie Bradshaw, Madonna and other female risk takers, rule breakers and style makers.
If you can channel just one of these ladies, who would it be?
I'd go with Carrie Bradshaw. I'm not an advice columnist with a Cosmo in hand but I've already got her bag & shoe fetish.

Have you ever needed to log in to MANHUNT so bad that you felt like stealing someone's computer just so you could check your inbox?
Nineteen-year-old Corey Kinney was chilling at his favorite Starbucks in Florida when he got the overwhelming urge to update his Facebook page, so he asked to borrow a laptop from a random customer.
I don't know if the customer told Corey to fly a kite or have another slice of lemon loaf, but he did not comply. The teenager then grabbed his computer and ran out the door, but he didn't make it far. Two people tackled and held him until mall security arrived and charged him with a felony.

Facebook is coming under attack for its recently updated "Terms of Service". The new policy basically allows Facebook to own ALL content on your profile, ever after you delete your account. While Facebook hasn't sold personal information in the past, with this new policy, even the licensing of your personal photos would be legal.
There is certainly reason to be concerned, but Facebook is claiming they will not claim ownership of user uploaded content in recently released statement:
"We are not claiming and have never claimed ownership of material that users upload. The new Terms were clarified to be more consistent with the behavior of the site. That is, if you send a message to another user (or post to their wall, etc...), that content might not be removed by Facebook if you delete your account (but can be deleted by your friend). Furthermore, it is important to note that this license is made subject to the user's privacy settings. So any limitations that a user puts on display of the relevant content (e.g. To specific friends) are respected by Facebook. Also, the license only allows us to use the info 'in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof.' Users generally expect and understand this behavior as it has been a common practice for web services since the advent of webmail. For example, if you send a message to a friend on a webmail service, that service will not delete that message from your friend's inbox if you delete your account."
In the past Facebook has been responsible in their use of member content, let's hope they keep it like that. What do you guys think of their new licensing policies?

I read on the internet today that the writer and produce of The West Wing, Aaron Sorkin, will be writing and producing a Facebook movie. The movie will revolve around it's creator Mark Zuckerberg and how the social networking phenomenon became so popular today. Aaron made this announcement on his official Facebook page and is currently in negotiations with the founders of Facebook.
Hmmm...this sounds like a flop in the making. I mean the what is exciting about a movie about a social networking site? Who will pay to see this? Will the movie include how Mark allegedly stole the idea of Facebook from his Harvard classmates who hired him to work on their site, ConnectU? I say they should include this because controversy always make things more interesting!!! I think they should make a documentary instead, not a movie.
Anyone plan on going to watch the movie?
