This is AWESOME!! So funny, and so true!!
Facebook doesn’t cause drug abuse; drug abuse makes people turn to Facebook.
Here’s the evidence: People on drugs do things that are eerily similar to popular Facebook activities. Clearly, social networking just gives various tweakers, stoners and trippers a venue for their drug-fueled antics.
Unconvinced? Check out this list of various recreational drugs and the way they make you act like a hard-core Facebooker...

the philosophical battle over economics, taxes, debt ceilings and defaults that are now roiling the stock market is partly rooted in an upper class "ideology of self-interest."

Because the rich gloss over the ways family connections, money and education helped, they come to denigrate the role of government and vigorously oppose taxes to fund it.

This rings true and it is scary - confirmation bias will only get worse with more and more personalization of our web experience. It's not just products that are personalized - it's ideas, viewpoints, thought.

These actually look like you! (at least the ones I've seen that other people have made). If you don't want to use a photo of yourself, or don't have one you like, this is a good resource for making an avatar.

I learned a few new tricks, and I usually don't learn anything from these articles. For example, I didn't realize you could have different privacy settings based on groups - I have several groups, and now I can keep the more professional ones from seeing certain things which might affect their opinion of me, which shouldn't matter, but of course it does anyway.

This made me wonder - I've always thought of myself as an extrovert, but I fit an awful lot of the introvert characteristics in this article, too. Can't I be a little of both? I don't think I should have to choose sides!

Add Sticky NoteSecond, when you see an introvert lost in thought, don't say "What's the matter?" or "Are you all right?"

I think this qualifies as a "first world problem" :) I can relate. Once you have an "audience," it changes everything. You have to stop and re-evaluate why you are doing it every so often, to check that it still makes sense. If it doesn't, stop.

I worry that I'm snatching morsels from the information food bank without making any donations.

Still, no matter how innocuous your individual tweets, the aggregate ends up being the foundation of a scary-deep self-portrait. It's like a psychographic version of strip poker—I'm disrobing, 140 characters at a time.
This is great! I like Facebook for some things - occasional checking in to see what far-flung friends are up to, but hate all the stupid apps - oh sure, it was fun throwing octopi and sheep at my niece at first, but I get irritable when poked too frequently.

Fantastic rant about an anti-technology "study" - which was sorely lacking in sense. Clay is one of my favorite bloggers, about education and politics and life in general, and this is one of his best rants - his other blog is all about fighting "schooly-ness" in education, and he continues that theme here. READ THIS if you want to use technology in the classroom!

two examples showing how blind the UCLA research was to today's possibilities, how behind the times.... It's easy, efficient, and turbo-effective literacy, research, and information management. It's unique to the Berners-Lee Age. Gutenberg would have loved it. Some high-profile "researchers" apparently know little of it.

yay! I hate the New Facebook! I mean, it looks pretty, but all my photos and books and maps are hidden in tabs no one will ever look at! I want to CHOOSE what shows on my page. Hello? User control? User Choice = happier users.
"To me, LinkedIn isn’t a place to dump a snapshot of where you’ve been. It’s an opportunity to stay connected to people, and to demonstrate where you are now, and where you plan to go next. To that end, I’ve got a little advice for you to consider applying to your own profile."
