Facebook Users Balk at New Dual-Feed Design

Posted in Social Networking, technology by Erika Morphy on August 28, 2010


Facebook has tweaked its home page once again — this time offering users two different feeds: The News Feed features updates ranked according to what Facebook determines to be the most enjoyable or important content posted by a user’s friends. The Live Feed, which consists of all of the real-time updates from the users’ network, includes a larger assortment of information, such as notifications when friends add friends. When users initially log on, they are now presented with the News Feed; they have the option of toggling to the Live Feed if they so choose.

The Young and the Twitterless

Posted in Social Networking, technology by Martha Irvine on July 31, 2010


They think it’s pointless, narcissistic. Some don’t even know what it is. Even so, more young adults and teens — normally at the cutting edge of technology — are finally coming around to Twitter, using it for class or work, monitoring the minutiae of celebrities’ lives. It’s not always love at first tweet, though. Many of them are doing it grudgingly, perhaps because a friend pressures them or a teacher or boss makes them try the 140-character microblogging site.

Biomedical Researchers Experiment With Facebook-Style Network

Posted in Social Networking, technology by William Kates on July 28, 2010


Social networking is coming to the science lab. Cornell University and six other institutions will use a $12.2 million federal stimulus grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop a Facebook-style professional networking system to link biomedical researchers across the country. Participants say by making it easier for scientists to find each other, researchers will be able to improve their ongoing studies and forge collaborations that could lead to new discoveries. The new network will be called “VIVOweb.” “Scientists have problems finding each other,” said Michael Conlon, interim director of biomedical informatics for the University of Florida and the principal investigator on the project.

Web Sites That Show Us the Way We Were: Ghastly

Posted in Social Networking, technology by Suzanne Ma on July 7, 2010


Matching mullets, regrettable tattoos, metal mouths and goofy grins. Such long-lost looks were never meant to be seen by anyone except those flipping through the pages of an old family album or studying the photo frames on the fireplace mantel. Now, however, Americans who grew up long before the Internet opened private lives to the world are digging up dusty boxes for photos to share on Facebook and other sites — sometimes to the chagrin of family members and schoolmates appearing in group shots.

Social Networking and the Celebrity Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome

Posted in Social Networking, technology by Martha Irvine on July 2, 2010


So, you fail to take a deep breath and to count to 10 — and you post something you probably shouldn’t on Twitter or Facebook, or somewhere else online. Hopefully it blows over without doing too much damage, but what if you’re famous and have thousands, if not millions of virtual followers? NFL star Larry Johnson was released by the Kansas City Chiefs after questioning his coach and posting gay slurs for all the world to see. California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger was criticized for a video that was posted as a “thank you” to constituents for suggesting budget cuts.

Study: Internet Doesn’t Cause Introversion

Posted in Social Networking, technology by Barbara Ortutay on May 21, 2010


A new study confirms what your 130 Facebook friends and scores of Twitter followers may have already told you: The Internet and mobile phones are not linked to social isolation. Online activities such as e-mail, blogging and frequenting Internet hangouts can even lead to larger, more diverse social networks, according to the study released Wednesday by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. The study refutes research earlier in the decade suggesting that people’s growing embrace of technology has come at the expense of close human connections.
