Facebook

You can waste a good chunk of your life playing Facebook games such as FarmTown, FarmVille and FarmFarm (okay, we made that last one up). However, in the case of an Idaho woman in need of a new kidney, FarmTown ended up saving her life.

Voting in a presidential election is pretty exciting. And, these days, when we do something exciting we want to tell the world about it through social network sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. But while there may be a temptation to take a photo of your completed ballot and post it on the internet with pride, it's not a very good idea. In fact in states like Wisconsin it's a felony to let

We love our parents; we really do. It's just that during those early years, they can seem like the most embarrassing people on the planet. It's tough enough growing up (kudos to you if you can read the word "puberty" without wincing) without lame-o parents humiliating you, but when it comes to two parents in Wisconsin, we have to admit they've surpassed "embarrassing" and jumpe

Thanks to Facebook, we can now "like" just about anything on the internet. But what if you more than "like" something you see on the Web? What if you "want" it too? Soon there may be a special button for that.

It was recently revealed that Facebook now has one billion users -- that's 15% of the world’s population. That’s a pretty impressive achievement for Mr. Zuckerburg, if you ask us. There’s no denying the top-notch social network has become integrated into our daily lives, and now there's a way to be physically rewarded by the site -- ‘Like-A-Hug.'

You know what's cool? One billion users. OK, now that that's out of the way, lets discuss the big Facebook news, which is that the social network  recently topped one billion users. This amounts to about 15% of the world's population.

These days, everyone and their grandmother and pet hamster have Facebook. And most people would agree that the best use for the social networking site is passive stalkage of exes, frenemies and coworker crushes. So naturally, those fun killers at Facebook have decided to shut that business down.

Like most folks, you've probably never really read Facebook's Terms of Service. But it you had, you would have seen this telling gem:

You know it’s a bad day when a judge decides you need to spend some time behind bars because you didn’t delete your Facebook account. Is having a Facebook page now a crime? It seems that if you irk the wrong judge in the state of Kentucky, it just might be.

Well, if what happens in Vegas isn't going to stay in Vegas, as many people as possible should probably put naked pictures of themselves up on Facebook to make it okay. It's maybe not how we would deal with the Naked Prince Harry Fiasco of 2012, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening right now.

While there might not be a spot in 'The Guinness Book of World Records' to praise Facebook's oldest registered user -- maybe there should be. On Monday, Florence Detlor, the social network’s oldest registered user, celebrated her 101st birthday by crashing in on Mark Zuckerberg and his crew of hackers, nerds and programmers at Facebook's California headquarters.

Between falling stock prices, continued privacy concerns and an admission that a good chunk of its profiles are fake, Facebook has had a rough few months. But before you drop your Facebook account, consider this: employers may view potential hires who aren't on the social network as suspicious.

It has finally happened. What once was a social media outlet connecting drunk college students has suddenly become the place you hear about your exes' recent engagement, your high school boyfriend’s new baby and discover your moms penchant for oversharing. Fortunately, the brilliant people of Unbaby.me have not only had enough, they’ve found a way to program all this excess noise right out of your

While Facebook has no data on how many fake people currently reside on its server (based on our News Feed we'd guess about half of all users), it does know how many fake accounts there are: 83 million. And it's not who you think, either.

In a pair of recent interviews, Chick-fil-A president and COO Dan Cathy has made clear his opposition to gay marriage, going as far as saying those who support gay marriage are "inviting God's judgment on our nation."
