Honestly, with my boy Justin Timberlake in the movie, I would have watched it even if it was just him making Facebook status updates for two hours.

But, I have to admit,  the new “Facebook Movie” looks like it has actual potential.   I guess one shouldn’t expect less from a David Fincher movie though (one scored by Trent Reznor, no less).  hat tip: Digital Inspiration

(I love that the name is not actually “The Facebook Movie” but that’s what everyone calls it!)

More of a retro, Myspace fan?  You’re in luck! For you Tom fans -- er, friends -- out there, there’s a movie for you as well!  OK, not really, but the Huffington Post shared a “trailer” from Best Week Ever here.

What do you think? Will this be a movie you’ll be checking out?

Our favorite online Jack-of-All-Trades, Google, has announced their latest venture; and it looks like they’re heading straight into iTunes territory.

TechCrunch posted details about Google’s new music service:

Google will partner with iLike and LaLa for their new music service, we’ve learned. And the announcement date is Wednesday, October 28, 2009.

Alister Cameron is currently running a contest called The Hunt for the Coolest Twitter Background. As soon as I read about it, I was immediately a fan of the idea.   I asked Alister (via Twitter) what inspired him to run the contest and his response was:

I was inspired by the desire to acknowledge people who’ve found ways to make their Twitter page background/colour look great. Also that, to my knowledge, no one has paid attention to twitter page design, period. And I wanted to! Finally… more on this later, I am using my competition to prove a point about strategic use of twitter.

My mom watches “Dancing with the Stars”.

Like many folks out there, I have profiles on many of the social networking websites and use each to connect with different people in different ways.

I’ve have my MySpace profile for a few years.  I may not update my profile as frequently, but I still like myspace as a way to connect with friends, musicians, comedians and filmmakers that may find facebook a bit to dry/confining or may not have the professional need to join linkedin.

Easy to confuse, but not the same.

Recently, I’ve begun to use MySpace as a way to share recent updates on this blog or reach out to people regarding writing about them.

Recently, MySpace has been comparing my links to head lice.   read more
