This isn’t exactly news that anyone is going to care about — it was something I’ve actually been wanting to do for a while, but simply hadn’t done due to the massive amount of procrastination I do on a daily basis — but I finally got rid of the Xadara Facebook page, to the dismay …

Yet Another Facebook Failure – The “View As” Security Breach
I was slightly concerned yesterday morning when I saw that I had to manually log in to Facebook. I normally keep my browsers set to automatically log me in, so any situation where I would need to log back in would be cause for some kind of alarm. I figured maybe someone got ticked by …

Facebook And That Little Flower Reaction
Ya know, I thought people had better memories than they seem to. This past week on Facebook, I noticed people talking about a little “flower” reaction, alongside the usual heart, laugh, cry, anger, and all that. This, as you probably know by now, is the “Thankful” reaction, which was introduced last year, just a little …

You Asked For It
Social media, by design, is an outlet for people to express themselves, and share their opinions. Anyone with any active social media presence will inevitably see someone, somewhere “complaining” about something, and if you are the average person, it probably annoys you. Hold that thought, for a moment. Them sharing their opinion annoys you, does …

No, Your Astrological Sign Didn’t Change (Not That It Matters Anyway)
Not that I care whatsoever for such outright silly superstition, but it has to be said, because those posts are annoying the hell out of me. No, your Astrological sign didn’t change 1: NASA has nothing to do with such (I never understand why anything at all related to space has to magically have NASA …

Don’t Strawman Me
It happens all the time, in virtually every conversation. You are making whatever point you have, be it something mundane, or something major, and, somehow, you realize you are arguing something you didn’t even say, or, better off, didn’t mean. Someone has changed the subject on you, via some method or another, and by the …

Neither you nor the friend desire this, so what do you do? After …

Let’s Talk About Facebook
I have quite the love-hate relationship with the social media service Facebook. It’s my primary online way to keep in touch with many people, both close friends and acquaintances in the gaming and convention scenes. It’s also a useful enough service for discussing various subjects I’m interested in (I’m a member of quite a few …

The logic of Like and Dislike in Social Media
Social media is all about sharing, discussion, and feedback. In general, social media services will always feature allowing users to comment, saying exactly what they think. There are, however, often simpler ways to express your opinion on a given post – a “like” feature. Be it Instagram, Facebook, Google+, Ello, or even YouTube, there are …

Why I ditched the Facebook mobile app
This would seem like something silly to write about. Why would it matter that I uninstalled on app from my cell phone? Because this serves as a prime case where several minor issues have ruined my experience to the point where the app is no longer worth having on my device. Now, my phone is …

Why (some) Facebook Pages Suck
Facebook pages can be great ways for interaction, but sometimes, things get a little too crazy…
Blogging in the Mobile Era: Full Scale Blogging with Mobile Systems
Let’s face it: mobile devices are taking over every aspect of our digital lives. Why sit in front of a massive desktop tower, or lug around a 10 lb laptop, when a tablet PC, or even your cell phone, can do everything you need to do both on and offline? With seamless integration into social …

Why do you like yourself so much?
If you use facebook, then you HAVE to have seen this happen more than you would like: Someone posts a status, and then, they like their own status. Now, if this is a post celebrating something major, or if the person has finally expressed something they have wanted to say for years, then it is …
