Facebook plans to enter into the smart phone market in the next 12-18 months with a phone that they have codenamed ‘Buffy.’ And, yes, that’s because Mark Zuckerberg and company thinks the device will be an iPhone slayer.

Facebook, Twitter and all the other social media sites have changed the way young people interact with each other, but according to a survey from Poll Position, the majority of Americans don’t think this has been a change for the better.

Justin Sullivan/Getty Images Facebook may have changed the way we communicate, keep up with long lost friends and pretend that we're doing actual work in the office, but it has come at a great cost to privacy. Now the federal government is forcing the social networking giant to ask all 800 million of their users if they wish to “opt out” of certain settings and features that might expose some of t

Look, we all know suicide isn’t something you should usually joke about, but Michael Abraham has made it kind of funny by posting on Mountain Dew’s Facebook page.

Being a zombie on Facebook seems a lot more appealing than being one in real life. And thanks to AMC, it’s super easy. In fact, all you have to do to get a highly-detailed zombie version of yourself is visit the Facebook page for the AMC series ‘The Walking Dead.’

Facebook announced a big overhaul of their user profile design at yesterday’s f8 developers conference.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that profile pages will soon automatically put photos, videos, status updates and status changes in chronological order.

Well, you knew someone would ruin it. Jonathan’s Card, which we told you about last week, was a nifty social experiment that used a shared Starbucks card in a modern version of the “take a penny, leave a penny” tray.
