Thomas Kostigen Knows Nothing About Social Media Posted: 3 years ago by msaleem
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.

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.
