How a Facebook update would go over in real life
Yep, I’m 100% sure this is how it would go too. This is how everyone feels every time Facebook wants to just move things around, just for the sake of, moving them around. Sigh.

Facebook Home dies before it gets a chance to live
HTC First, or as many know it as Facebook Home, is dying off before it really had a chance to live, on AT&T that is. Apparently the idea to have Facebook 24/7 on your phone, all in your business, wasn’t the greatest of ideas. Who knew, right?

What I think about the new Facebook Home
Facebook is cool and all, but most days I prefer Twitter, Google+, and Tumblr. But even though I personally do like Facebook at times, do I really want it shoved down my throat 24/7? I mean let’s face it - we are on our mobile devices the majority part of our days. Do I want to spend all of my time on Facebook? Like the saying goes, “if you have too much of a good thing, something pleasant becomes unpleasant.” This may be the beginning of the end for Facebook.
Soon you will be able to use #hashtags on Facebook
Well well well. You may have wondered why people have used hashtags in the past on Facebook, when it does nothing on the social networking site. Soon, that may all change.
Every minute millions and millions of pieces of data is generated on the web
Did you know that every minute of every day Facebook users share over 684 thousand pieces of content, or that Google has over 2 million search queries? That is a s-load of data being generated and shuffled about on the web. The data ins’t slowing either, and as Internet becomes the staple of society and social media continuing to fuel data consumption, there are no signs that data generation will slow anytime soon.
Is it down, or is it just me?
Sometimes when I get the itch to, I like to create things on the Internet. Sometimes they are useless, useful, serves a purpose only for me, or can be for everyone. Most recently, I worked on a new project using Tumblr to hack together a site that tracks the up and down time of all your favorite social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn and others.

The newest craze to hit Tumblr, courtesy of the new Facebook Graph Search, is clearly putting some folks in a compromising position. The new Facebook search method, which isn’t yet available to everyone, has a very robust and dynamic search which allows for all kinds of search results based on your Social Graph.
Facebook finally ups the ante, and introduces a more intelligent search
Let’s be honest - Facebook Search sucks. It always has. If you are on Facebook and want search results comparable to Google’s search engine, it’s gonna happen. That is until now. Facebook is finally promising a better, more intelligent search, which is something to get excited about.
Twitter strikes back at Instagram and adds photo filters
The photo wars continue to be no-less than dramatic, with Twitter now adding their own photo filters to their mobile apps on Android and Apple only days after Instagram said they were pulling their photo feed from Twitter. As a clear line in the sand is being drawn, the two networks are both clawing at the chance to offer the best photo sharing experience possible.
Google+ exceeds 500 million users on it’s social network
It’s been a minute since I have talked about Google+. Not much since summer has been going on with Google’s social network. They are making minor changes here and there, but as time has gone on I have seen less and less from the network. Activity such as re-shares have gone down, comments have gone down, and the amount of people that have “circled” me has slowed down.

The photo wars heat up, with Instagram and Twitter going head-to-head
