Text Messages That Don’t Need to be Sent
We have become a society of texting fools. It has gotten to the point that people will send you to voicemail if you call them but will answer a text right away. This is especially true in younger people. Gawker has come up with a list of annoying texts that don't need to be sent. I completely agree with a few of them.

What are the Most Popular Websites in the World?

Do Olympic Spoilers Annoy You? [POLL]
Michael Phelps came in 4th in the 400m individual medley on Saturday. NBC made the decision to broadcast the race in prime time instead of live. Twitter absolutely exploded. People were angry at other news outlets for posting the results of the race and other spoilers before they had the chance to see them. Some gave NBC some flack for not airing the race live. For the first time, Olympians are allowed to use social media as well, but are not allowed to reveal any results.
Complete the Sentence: Ignoring Texts
I text. A LOT. If I were to look at my phone bill text by text, it would read like "War and Peace." I try to respond to every text, email and social media message. It just isn't always possible. My mother gets ignored a lot. She sends in the neighborhood of 15 memes to me each day, most of which I've either seen before or don't have anything to do with my personality. I don't say anything to her. I figure much like the dog in "Christmas Vacation," it's best just to let her do her thing.

If You’re On an Online Dating Site, Do You Tell Anyone? [POLL]
We're inundated with ads asking us to join this dating site or that. Chances are someone you know dates online, they just don't tell you about it. It makes sense. If they're not dating you, why would they want you to go online to see what they say about themselves in an effort to get the attention of the opposite sex?
Is Anyone Using Social Media to Actually Stay in Touch With Friends Anymore?
I am a social media addict. I have both a personal Facebook page and a "Fan" page. I have Twitter and Google +. Not to mention Linked In and various other professional accounts. I use social media as both a way to entertain and interact with people. Finding the balance is a tricky thing.
I've written about over sharing. No. I'm not interested in what my closest friend had for lunch, so unless there is some benefit to me, I'm not interested in what my Facebook friends have either. Now, I'm noticing something else attacking our collective senses.
