Goodbye!!

I'M MOVING!!

(Just to another site)

Well, this semester was definitely one for the books. I had so much fun with this blog! I hope you enjoyed reading everything on here these past few months. I'm continuing blogging, just not on here. I might add the, "Did You Hear?" aspects on my personal blogging page on Tumblr (rachrams) every once and a while.

I'm heading across the pond to study abroad for the upcoming semester, if you're interested I'll be updating regularly! (Cheers From London) <---...trying out the competition, Blogger ;)

Goodbye all! Thanks for reading!!

Parents On Facebook: To Friend Or Not To Friend.

Did you hear about parents being friends with their children on Facebook?

I, for one, am not. My mom's philosophy of, "I'm your mother, not your friend" is fine by me. Look at this chart found on Mashable.com to determine whether you should or should not be friends with your parent:

Yet Another Reason to Love Twitter

Did you hear that you can have a secret santa through Twitter?


Mashable.com reported the story of signing up through your account to do a secret santa with either your followers or people you follow! You just sign up, fill out a survey of questions like your favorite color, and you find your match on Dec 13th! (Deadline to sign up is tomorrow)

...Kind of nervous to see if this leads to any sketchy, dangerous online meet ups that everyone is supposed to be avoiding.


Crossing my fingers that it doesn't.

Winklevoss Twins: Now They're Suing, Now They're Not?

Did you hear that the Winklevoss Twins (The Social Media) are filing another lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg?

Mashable.com said that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss were reportedly suing Mark Zuckerberg again for Facebook, because apparently the first time he lied about it's worth. Update on the claim from Facebook's PR representative in the UK:
“There is no new litigation between Facebook and the Winklevosses. The only recent litigation activity is when the Winklevosses recently lost their malpractice action against their former law firm, Quinn Emmanuel. The filings referred to in the Daily Mail and other articles are simply the filings by Facebook and the Winklevosses in the Winklevosses’ now two-year old, thus far unsuccessful, attempt to undo their 2008 agreement to settle the parties’ dispute.”

So...there goes that. The twins got $65 million from the first settlement and that is all they're getting/asking for, for now.
