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!

Anne Frank had a diary. Regina has this mini-feed. Same difference.

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.

Have You Spent Money on Virtual Goods?

GeekSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:07:31 -0800

I recently read an article about the increase in spending on virtual goods and gifts. According to the piece, analysts estimate that this kind of virtual spending could bring in $1 billion this year in the US alone - and nearly $5 billion worldwide.

From Facebook apps like the popular FarmVille - which allows players to run their own virtual farms - to competitive games like Sorority Life - where players have to dress a group of college sorority sisters to compete with rival sororities - the article explains that players are likely to buy items to improve their performance in the game or to build up a collection of goods that will impress friends.

I love sending free virtual goodies to friends on their birthdays or for other special events, but I'm not sure how much cash I would regularly drop on intangible items. What do you think? Do you spend money on virtual gifts or other goods?

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!
