I read an article yesterday, blaming Digg for good stories being ignored. More than anything else, his argument shows that Thomas Kostigen has no clue what he is talking about when it comes to social media.

Researchers find genetic link between physical pain and social rejection Posted: 3 months ago by kakana
The findings give weight to the common notion that rejection "hurts" by showing that a gene regulating the body's most potent painkillers — mu-opioids — is involved in socially painful experiences too, said study co-author Naomi Eisenberger, UCLA assistant professor of psychology and director of UCLA's Social and Affective Neuroscience Laboratory.

The Social Thermometer Posted: 2 months ago by Bingo
We often describe our social relationships in temperature metaphors, like “cold shoulder” or “warm memories” or even “she’s hot!” This is no coincidence. An experiment last year from the University of Toronto showed that thinking about an incident where the subject felt socially excluded led them to estimate the room’s temperature to be lower than those subjects who recalled a better experience.

Claiming they needed to learn how to reduce stress because of a growing number of death threats being made against them, nearly 700 executives from the Social Security Administration (SSA) gathered for a lavish three-day conference in Phoenix, AZ last week, costing taxpayers about $700,000.

Putting Money Where Mouths Are: Media Donations Favor Dems 100-1 Posted: 1 year ago by ImNotBlue
The New York Times' refusal to publish John McCain's rebuttal to Barack Obama's Iraq op-ed may be the most glaring example of liberal media bias this journalist has ever seen. But true proof of widespread media bias requires one to follow an old journalism maxim: Follow the money...

The Facebook Virus Spreads: No Social Network is Safe Posted: 11 months ago by muppet
What's frightening about the spread of this Trojan is not the worm itself - it's really nothing new in terms of malware - but the way its being spread. Over the years people have learned to be suspicious of unknown links and attachments in their emails, so the virus writers turned to hit us where we're more vulnerable: on our social networks. Here, many people still have a feeling of comfort and security. They don't always have their guard up.

Obama: I will tax more of your income for social security Posted: 2 years ago by 2manyusernames
Hardly surprising that a liberal democrat would want to tax more of your income. Of course reverting social security to something close to its original intent might help, but a plan like that wouldn't buy many votes from the entitlement-minded demographic.

The rest of what General Sanchez said... Posted: 2 years ago by ImNotBlue
It seems that the media only reported HALF of retired General Ricardo Sanchez's feelings towards the war in Iraq.
Funny how they neglected to include the portions where he said, “[To many of those in the media] the truth is of little to no value if it does not fit your own preconceived notions, biases and agendas."
Looks like he could have used himself as evidence.
