Ever since older people have been joining social networking sites like Facebook, they've been embarrassing their children. Usually this manifests itself in the same kind of hokey parental sentiments that have been irking kids since way before the internet. But a woman in Germany has gone in the complete other direction by humiliating her daughter with the kind of stunt you'd only expect from junio

As part of its increasing efforts to promote an equal environment for gay users, Facebook added two new icons over the weekend which make it possible to declare same-sex marriage status.

Earlier this week, Facebook changed all the default email addresses on its users' profiles to a brand new address, @facebook.com. Sneaky yes, but was it really that big of a deal? Probably not since very few people are ever going to navigate through a Facebook profile to get an email address when it's so much easier and more reliable to use Facebook's internal messaging system. However, the folks

You probably don't check out the "about" section of your Facebook page a whole lot, being that you already know everything there is to know about yourself. But if you happened to do so today, you would have noticed something different -- your listed email address has been changed to one with your Facebook profile name and then @facebook.com. Yes, Facebook gave you a Facebook email addres

It appears that the anti-fans of rock group Nickeback have reason to be cheering today. There's a new Facebook link floating around that allows you to identify which of your friends "likes" the immensely-detested group on the social network site. As if that weren't enough, technology proves yet again to be a grand service to the human race. After sifting through the users who are fans of

Thanks to its IPO, Facebook now has a valuation of over $100 billion dollars. One can only imagine how much the social network would be worth if it hadn't forced everybody to switch over to Timeline -- which we've still never heard anybody say anything good about -- earlier this year.

As of Friday, Mark Zuckerberg is officially in a relationship with everyone. Facebook’s IPO became available Thursday with shares now being traded for about $43 a piece. And, of course, the occasion was marked with a status update by the founder himself.

Just a few years ago, Facebook became a simple way for teenagers and old classmates to keep up with their friends while pretending to work. Now, it’s a billion dollar company with its own publicly traded stock. The announcement offered its own share of shocked faces and flabbergasted statements. Here are some things that were probably said during Facebook's IPO announcement.

We know he’s worth a whole lot of money ($17.5 billion to be exact). We know he is the father of Facebook, and refuses to sell it because he wants to keep raising it. We know he went to Harvard, but never finished. We know there is a set of twins who wish they had never met him. And, we know that today, May 14th, is his 28th birthday. But, there has to be more to know about Mark Zuckerberg. Read M

Mark Zuckerberg wants to use Facebook to help those languishing at the tail end of organ donation lists. So, starting today, the close to 200 million Facebook users in the United States and the United Kingdom will have the option to add that they are organ donors on their Facebook timeline.

Turns out, Facebook isn't just a great way to stay in touch with friends. As an Akron, Ohio mom recently showed us, it also makes an effective tool for disciplining a teenager.

As you have no doubt heard, Betty White finally joined Twitter. (Maybe.) While this seems like a brave new frontier for a member of the Greatest Generation, she’s not the only elderly person to ever delve into social media. Apparently, Facebook is full of them.

As you've surely heard, Facebook bought the photo-sharing program Instagram for a cool billion dollars earlier this week. So far, reaction to the purchase has been "meh" at best, with most of the instant reactors on Twitter mocking the move.

By now you should have learned through the grapevine of news outlets that the all-powerful Facebook has purchased the photo-sharing platform Instagram for $1 billion. As Twitter user @AnthonyDeVito pointed out on Monday, "Today is a very exciting day for photos of brunch."

Looks like we're not the only ones thinking this is a slightly unnecessary buy.

Ever wonder what Facebook would've looked like back in the early days of the internet? Well, wonder no more. The fine folks at SquirrelMonkey.com have unearthed this (fake) VHS tape from the 20th century TV show 'Wonders of the World Wide Web,' which discusses a new destination called "The Facebook."
