So I finally did it. I signed up for a Facebook account. I know you're saying to yourself, "What?!?! There are still college students that aren't on Facebook?!?!" And my answer to that is, "Yes." But there is now one less. I used to be quite opposed to social-networking sites (SNS), [...]

Facebook is being used to corral parents in my hometown to a school board meeting this week. An incident at the local middle school has the fires of controversy burning hot, and the lack of communication coming from the school has spurned a fury of communication among parents and community members on the popular [...]

Reflections on the media in haiku form: TV invades space: Static infomercials blare "Sham Wow! Buy now!" Mute. Facebook is black hole. Join my cause. Five hundred friends. Poke my eyes out now.

Not only did I get the low-down on the most recent ex-girlfriend and holiday drama, but in between the conversation pauses to text [...]

On May 9, 2009 I will graduate from college. On this day, I will take part in one more ceremony that I consider necessary and entirely appropriate for my leaving college. I am going to delete my Facebook account. I was one of the incoming freshmen in college that got to be [...]

I'm not sure if this is a trend that I have missed until now, but in the last few weeks I have seen a huge increase in the number of adults using social networking tools like Facebook. By adult, I mean professionals, working mothers and fathers, stay-at-home moms, community and political leaders, and teachers [...]

I'm probably being to melodramatic - I guess I should be asking where are my broadband options (I just thought a good exclamatory title would grab your attention).
