Love, Loss, and Facebook

GiggleSugar — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0700

These out-of-control social networking sites have revolutionized the way young people meet, befriend, flirt, love, slander, and break up with each other. For the rest of us - shhh! - it's changed the way we get to spy on them. The four-part news feed below will tell you everything you need to know (and then some) about the rise and demise of Kevin and Jennifer's "wuv" for each other. In short, Amy - "that conniving witch" - couldn't keep her flirtatious pointer finger to herself, and it all went downhill from there. The more things change, the more they stay the same, eh?

Facebook: Forty Years From Now

GiggleSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 11:00:00 -0700

Facebook and similar social networking sites have changed the way Generations X, Y and Z meet, mingle, and communicate. For some, it's all they've ever known. These teenyboppers are bound to take their Internet lingo and "friendly" poking habits into adulthood and beyond. Forget retirement communities; the "golden years" are gonna play out on the net - Bee-atch!

And despite all of this, Sarah broke up and made up with her boyfriend in a record hour and a half on Nov. 9. Now that's what I call some serious multitasking!

The Best (and Cheapest) Halloween Costumes in Town

GiggleSugar — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 03:00:00 -0700

Halloween is right around the corner- got a costume in mind? If not, try these on for size. Blend in with every billboard around town and be a walking iPod advertisement. Or, go as the CA driver's license Britney never had. You can get nerdy as a good old-fashioned game of tetris or, even better, fleshify your Facebook (or Teamsugar) homepage. All are simple, cheap, and innovative enough to win you the "best costume" prize at any small party or lame office gathering, so there's no excuse to be yourself this Halloween. Unless, of course, your name is Spencer Pratt- then you're good to go, as is.

Are Facebook and Twitter Making People More Narcissistic?

TresSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:00:00 -0800

I love my Twitter and Facebook as much as the next gal, but there might be some truth to this Venn Diagram.

Perhaps our inner self-promoters and oversharers would have found another way to self-promote and overshare, but these social media platforms sure have made it easy for everyone to get up-to-the-minute updates on how we're feeling and what we're doing - whether they like it or not!

Real or Fake: Married Couples' Facebook Overshares

TresSugar — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 13:00:00 -0700

It's hard to believe so much trouble could come from the idle chatter of a Facebook status, but it does. And where there's trouble, there's a blog. STFU, Marrieds is a collection of Facebook overshares between couples. Some are unbelievable, and others are just typos gone very wrong, but the best have the overshare between the lines, like, "Btw, I'm bridezilla!" See if you can tell the real from the fake.

Awkward! He Liked Me Until He Saw My Facebook Page

TresSugar — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 07:00:00 -0700

Thanks to a reader with an issue (sorry, reader!), we have an awkward scenario for you that she needs you to weigh in on.

I met a guy on a matrimonial website (a little different from a regular dating website as the intention is for long-term relationships leading to marriage). Anyway he and I exchanged pics (he lives in a different city), and liked what we saw of each other so started texting and calling each other. It only lasted a month or so but he definitely expressed interest as I initiated first contact and all contact thereafter was initiated by him. So two weeks ago, he asked if I could add him to Facebook. Normally, I’m not comfortable with adding people I don’t know that well but I went with my gut feeling added him. Once I did, I saw that he’s very family oriented. Almost all his pics were of him with his family etc. I felt self-conscious of mine because a lot of my pics were from a few years ago, when I was a bit of a party girl. I’m still a social person, but I don’t really go clubbing much etc. now and I was concerned that my profile only reflected the me from a few years ago. Since I added him, we still have contact after but it seems to have scaled back significantly. He used to call or text every few days and now I haven’t heard from him in a week. How should I handle this?
