The Timeline Assimilation

By Will Folks || I never asked for the Facebook “Timeline.” It asked for me … bunches of times, in fact …
“Come to me,” she beckoned. “You know you want me.”
“You are not my kind of girl, Facebook Timeline,” I told her. “You’re moving a little too fast for me. Besides … I’m married.”

Nikki Haley “Defriends” Curtis Loftis

Among the casualties of S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s recent social media vindictiveness?
State Treasurer Curtis Loftis, who has found himself opposite the governor on several major issues recently – most notably the battle over our state’s inefficient, under-performing pension fund.

S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley’s policy of deleting negative Facebook comments – and banning the individuals who make them – received front-page treatment from the Palmetto State’s largest newspaper on Saturday.

Don’t Criticize Nikki Haley

YOU WILL BE DELETED FROM HER EXCELLENCY’S FACEBOOK PAGE

Like your taxpayer-funded emails, S.C. Gov. Nikki Haley is deleting critical comments made about her on Facebook. Not only that, she’s blocking individuals who criticize her from appearing on her Facebook page.

Facebook Liking

Facebook has pretty much taken over the internet, hasn’t it? In fact, a recent Los Angeles Times story notes that the social media giant has actually created a “parallel internet” for its 800 million users.

SCGOP’s “Shoot A Cop” Fiasco

The S.C. Republican Party finds itself embroiled in controversy after one of its county co-chairman “liked” an article on Facebook that outlined situations in which its author believes it to be permissible to “shoot a cop.”
We don’t expect the scandal to blow up quite like “Rusty-gate” or Glenn McConnell’s “antebellum soiree” (two of the SCGOP’s [...]

How They Roll In Hartsville

Here’s “Tommy,” a 38-year-old former Starbucks server from Hartsville, S.C. who is currently chasing his professional wrestling dreams while attending dance classes at Coker College.
Tommy likes Kenny G, George Michael and Vanilla Ice … (hey, two outta three ain’t bad).

Is this guy for real? Perhaps fellow Hartsville [...]

Tweetdeck Is The Matrix

In an effort to keep a better handle on our burgeoning social networking activity, our founding editor recently installed “Tweetdeck” on his computer.

It’s a program that lets you view the “feeds” from your various social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, etc.) all on one page – either on your desktop, laptop or smart phone.

Fun With Facebook

Facebook has become a ubiquitous part of modern culture, people.
Not only are movies being made about it, but people are suing each other claiming they created it.

Jenny Sanford TM’s ongoing search for “privacy” has landed her on Facebook, where the (former?) S.C. First Lady has nearly 350 “friends,” including GOP gubernatorial nominee Nikki Haley and her ex-husband Mark Sanford’s current gubernatorial Chief of Staff, Scott English.
