Remember when not every single thing you put on Facebook was shown to all of your friends? Remember when you could update your profile and your friends had to work to figure out what you changed because Facebook didn’t let them know that your favorite color is now purple and that you ‘like’ the page “I Hate Getting Texts That Only Say ‘K?’” Now, with any and every change you make showing up in everyone’s mini-feed, and with anyone able to obtain a Facebook account, it’s hard to keep …

After a nasty breakup, it’s easy to hit that ‘de-friend’ button on Facebook. It was painful enough, and you really don’t need reminders that he or she is moving on. Nor do you need to see pictures of them or their emo status updates if you were the one doing the dumping.
However, it does happen that somewhere along the line, you might want to actually gain them back as a Facebook friend. While it’s pretty obvious how you would go about re-friending an ex, …

When looking for love online, one has a myriad of options: Match for the casual dater, eHarmony for those on the marriage track, Fitness Singles for the athletically inclined, and even JDate and Christian Singles for those folks looking based on faith. Plenty of sites advertise themselves as a place to find a mate, but what about the less obvious? What about Facebook? With everyone so plugged in and providing so much information about themselves on the social networking site, is it really that much of a …

The Facebook Wall is a great way to flirt – we’ve already discussed things to write on a girl’s Wall to make her want you. But just like the wrong post can be exactly what you need to make it with a girl, the wrong post can be all you need to break it. Here are some things you should never write on her Wall.
10. “lol :-p had so much fun last night ;) lol.” Yes, internet shorthand enables Web flirting, but there comes a point when we’re just like, …

Twitter got it right. When this micro-blogging service came to concept, many people weren’t impressed by the idea of using only 140 characters to express something. But the social networking site took off to become the fastest growing in history. And when it comes to online flirting, the Twitter model might be the right way to go. Long messages, texts and e-mails are less likely to get a reply than something a little shorter, and, well, a little sweeter. Just like with social networking, social flirting should be simple and …

If you’re like most people, you have more “friends” than you’ve ever had before… if you count Facebook friends and Twitter followers. The barrier for entry into a relationship with someone has been lowered to a single click, and this has lots of benefits: the general public has unprecedented access to public figures and experts in various fields, celebrities seem more human, and, most importantly, you can keep up with what those high school friends are doing without actually picking up the phone. And while it’s true that this loose, …

You finally did it. You got up the nerve to text that cute guy you met when you were out last weekend. So you may have had a few (too many) drinks, and it may have been 1 am, but you texted him. And this wasn’t just any text. Oh no – it was a booty call text. The best part? You were successful! He got the message – and you got exactly what you were looking for.
But now comes the tricky …

The folks at Gelato have come up with a new twist on dating sites. Instead of the usual detailed profile (“I like walks on the beach and I want 2.5 kids”) which you can pretty much make up, with Gelato you import your social media streams. This way, you almost have no choice but to present your authentic self (unless you’re a pathological liar on Twitter). You can share your Facebook status updates, tweets and photos, plus your music, TV and movies preferences.
To start, you sign in with Twitter or …

With everyone plugged in to Facebook and Buzz, blogging and Tweeting and updating their BBM statuses, it’s pretty difficult to avoid finding out what your crush is up to. But there’s a fine line between curious and creepy. So … how should you reveal your stalking to members of the opposite sex?
A lot of people choose to pretend they don’t stalk on Facebook. And maybe they don’t. But pretty much every guy and girl I know stalks the crap out of every guy and girl in their lives, especially …

When it comes to exes and Facebook, things can get really ugly really quickly. With all your mutual friends gathered together in one spot, it can feel like a boxing ring where you’re about to go head-to-head. Sure, you could de-friend, but that might cause more drama. But it is possible to keep it clean — no referee required.
Float Like a Butterfly
If you were on the delivering end of the “It’s not you, it’s me,” conversation, you’re entering the Facebook match favored to win. But don’t abuse your power. …
