Facebook Hot for High School Reunions

High School Reunions and Facebook
Danielle posted a video the other day about the effects of Facebook and I wanted to share a quick story to expand on some of her points.
Over the last year my husband has been connecting with some of his old grade school and high school buds. We signed up to attend his 30th high school reunion after a few of his classmates started planning it. They set up a Facebook group for their graduating class and started sending out invites on Facebook (and via postal mail). From there it just snowballed and people were making connections left and right. There were some classmates that were hard to find but with a bit of searching even some of those people were found.

Social Media News for this week:
Plan on seeing the movie, The Social Network? I do! Here is The Social Network movie review form Mashable.
I really like Foursquare and know that I don’t use it to it’s full potential but after reading this post about how Foursquare is helpful for business conferences, I realized there is so much more to it than I imagined. I am however very cautious when it comes to using Foursquare so obviously I recommend that you exercise safety when using any type of social media platform.
Are you a Dunkin’ Donuts fan? Check out their video contest on Facebook! Maybe I should start drinking DD.

This was a great week, full of Social Media news! Twitter seemed to be the highlight this week, they are working on a lot of changes! We have chosen just a few blog posts for you to see what has happened this week!
Did you know that Burglars use Facebook? Make sure you use extra caution with what you are saying on Facebook.
At Nokia World 2010 Twitter Vice President Kevin Thau says “Twitter is NOT a Social Network“. You could have fooled me!!
Have you signed up for Digg and not used it much. Do you know how to use it to your benefit? Problogger has a great guess post this week: 4 Ways I Compose Posts to Drive Millions of Page views to Blogs Through Digg.
If you are on Facebook you know that it is constantly changing. This is a good thing but often frustrating for users. This week they have made a change that some people will really like. When you have a friend request instead of ignore you can hit not now and this places the request into hidden requests. This will allow you to come back and accept them as friends later. If you want to read more about it go to the Mashable post Facebook to Change How You Process Friend Requests.
There was a lot of speculation about Twitter the beginning of the week. Twitter had a large meeting all about changes. The Socialnomic blog has indicated how all the changes Twitter is making is all about money!
