The Social Network (otherwise known as Facebook: The Movie) has many things that make it potentially good. Top of the list is the music (thanks to Trent Reznor) which is showcased very nicely in the trailer:

Why I Love Technology - Starring Jukebox the Ghost

I have already mentioned how much I love Twitter and all the reason why. Let me add to that how much I love technology in general. First there was the post on Twitter this morning that said:

Good mornin' tweeters. We're playing 5 shows in NYC today (one in every borough) ! Come find us.

I then followed a link to this note on Facebook that gave locations and times for each spot they were going to hit. Then I used my cellphone to call a couple friends to make plans to meet up (and postpone plans with two others for tomorrow afternoon). So yeah, I love technology. Without it I would never have been able to have one of the most epic adventures ever. In case you missed it, I got plenty of pics and video footage of the event. I'll update this post as soon as I finish editing everything (which should be no later than this weekend). Until then, this is News on Shuffle signing off.

Social Media Site Goes Pink

People all over are starting to see the potential benefits of using social media sites to help promote their organization. Lately the focus has been on strategies in using Twitter for business and promotional purposes, but Facebook has recently been put back in the spotlight for ingenuity on the part of its members. If you are one of the millions of people who log on to their Facebook page every day, you may have noticed the status updates of many of your female friends have become much more colorful. That is because these ladies are trying to help raise awareness for breast cancer. While the origin of this campaign is unknown, the results are concrete. What may have started as a small project has brought attention to Susan G Komen's fan page and their fight against breast cancer. Good Morning America even did a feature on it, which is the link of the day here. This is the power of the internet and the good that can come from it. Who said this thing was just a fad?
