Now, Perez is changing his tune, and calling on all media outlets to join him in a week-long Kardashian cleanse. Earlier this week, Perez took to Twitter in an effort…
Don’t bother hashtagging your bootylicious Instagram posts as #curvy: As of this week, the social sharing app has removed the search function for that term. Instead, users are directed to other hashtags, such as #curvygirl, #curvyfashion and #curvywomen. “Please note that the decision to block this hashtag has nothing to do with the term…
If you have been on Twitter or Instagram during the past few days — especially if you’re a teen — chances are you’ve seen videos from the Don’t Judge Challenge. If not: the basic premise is that people draw cartoonish acne, unibrows and black teeth on themselves. Then, voilà, they are revealed to…

Twitter, and social media in general, can be an extremely unfriendly environment. It can get so negative that some celebrities feel the need to step away for their own sanity.

The “like” button on Facebook seems a bit limited, it can’t possibly express all the feelings we have about a status, post, or link that we want to acknowledge, and even bolster up in some way. Facebook considered adding a dislike button, but have decided to not go through with it. For now, we are still stuck with “likes” only.
Last spring, when things were actually looking good for Amanda Bynes, there were rumors that she was still up to her old ways on an anonymous Twitter account, @PersianLa27.

A woman on a mission to create a fake dating profile “so awful, so toxic, so irredeemably unlikable that no one would message her,” came to a similarly “so awful” conclusion: There are some seriously superficial folk out there! See Aaron Carter Fan’s witty observations from the social experiment…
Have you ever thought to yourself, “It’s raining so instead of taking my dog for a walk on the street – you know, where his legs support his body and what not — I’m just gonna hang the ol’ pooch off the balcony via his leash so he can do his business.” Yeah, me neither… WTF!?! Sadly, 23-year-old Tyler Smith of Greenville, South Carolina did just that and the pathetically lazy and ignorant decision was caught on camera and shared via Facebook. See the photo, find out what happened to Tyler and read what the dog’s owner, Tyler’s father, had to say about his son’s actions.

One Reddit user set out to decide which TV shows best represent each state. He made some controversial calls (That 70s Show over Happy Days?!), but the resulting map is pretty awesome!
This really happened: Tuesday evening Justin Timberlake relaunched MySpace at the El Ray Theatre in Hollywood, Ca. This sounds insane because no one’s logged in to MySpace since 2005, let alone used it on a daily basis. So, what’s going on, here? Can Justin bring this site back to life?
Apparently, being a Photoshop wiz can land you in the upper echelons of Silicon Valley — just not by following the path you might imagine. That was the case with Shirley Hornstein, who climbed her way onto a top-40 list of the most influential women investing in technology in Silicon Valley, by doing little more than dropping names and digitally altering photos.

The internet was all in a tizzy yesterday after the popular photo App Instagram (now owned by Facebook) announced their new terms of service, which appear to give the company the right to sell your photos, name, and comments to advertisers without your consent and without notifying you at all. Because of the outcry the company’s co-founder posted a statement addressing users’ concerns in which he says it was never their intention to sell users’ photos and that the wording of the terms would be amended before they go into effect in mid-January. Keep reading for the full statement, which sounds a little like they just plain ol’ got busted!
I’m not sure if there is a Bank Robber’s Handbook, but if so, 19-year-old Hannah Sabata of Stromsburg, Nebraska must have the old edition that doesn’t include the new chapter on not bragging about your crimes on the internet! York County law enforcement arrested Hannah at her home on Wednesday for her part in a Waco, Nebraska bank robbery and car theft thanks in part to Hannah uploading a video to Youtube announcing she had robbed a bank and stolen a car!
But in an amazing case of not judging a book by its cover, we’ve uncovered some online journal entries written by Hannah that reveal an amazingly horrible past that includes an extended stay at a mental hospital after an attempted overdose and getting pregnant at the age of 17 after contracting AIDS from a carnival worker, only to have her baby taken away before she could even take him home from the hospital. So was this just a huge cry for help?
