Lies we tell on social media

Nobody is as happy as they seem on Facebook, as depressed as they seem on Twitter, or as employed as they seem on LinkedIn.

Facebook ad from 1995

Television commercial for The Facebook from the mid-90s.

More disciplinary action for social media use

Dental students to get expelled for using (abusing?) facebook.

Another healthcare worker fired for social media use

Boy does this seem innocent. Can't believe she lost her job.

And there is something hypocritical about hosting a reality TV show and then firing a person for over sharing. Nice discussion on the topic here.

The Learning Black Market

Great lecture on social media in healthcare

What a well done design aesthetic. ​A lot of time spent on how to use twitter, instead of why to use twitter, but a great lecture. 

What your profile picture says about you

I can't get enough of this joke. This one has some, shall we say, colorful language.​
