OK, so the folks at Hasbro have created a lot of Monopoly games — and we mean a lot. But they might have missed the boat, because someone else has come up with the genius idea for Social Media Monopoly. Right now, it’s just a bunch of images and simulations of what…
Whether or not we’d like to admit it, we’ve all been there. Moving to new cities and jumping head first into the dating pool isn’t easy. But we’re guessing the real trick is standing out. Cue SeeClaudiaDate.com. Claudia, a native Texan and recent New York transplant, spent the last year…

If you’re a fan of getting your conspiracy theories and government leaks first, you’ve probably heard of WikiLeaks. The international organization publishes anonymous submissions and leaks of sensitive documents while keeping their sources’ anonymity. They’ve been around for a while already, but the website has now possibly made history, publishing…
Remember when we told you about that social media scavenger hunt you’d have to go on to get tickets to a social media fiesta with booze provided by @SmirnoffMiami, music by @RkmyKeny, and everything live-tweeted by your Twitter jockey, @ManuGabaldon?

Look at your computer. Now back to me. Now back at your screen. Now at this post. Sadly, you aren’t this Old Spice guy featured in the video below, but if you read this post, he might just crack you up. Isaiah Mustafa probably looks familiar. Known mostly as “the…
Rarely does a social media addiction pay off in a big way. We tweet our favorite celebs and hope for a reply, “like” products and cross our fingers for some freebies, and mention every move we make via Foursquare, hoping that special someone will “follow” us there. But we hardly…
We all know how difficult it is to text while driving. Speaking from experience, it’s virtually impossible — and in some parts of South Florida, even illegal. AT&T adds a little label to the front of new phones suggesting not to do it, and we’ve all heard of the friend…
The masses waited in day-long lines when the iPhone 4 was released just a few weeks ago, but now after reports that the new iPhone has terrible reception, there are a lot of very unhappy customers. Even Apple’s commented on it, but rather than do something about it, they wrote…

As evidenced by the video below, Wednesday night’s first Social Media Day was a big success in Miami. It was an epic celebration of everything social media, and the Miami festivities were the biggest in the Southeast — even bigger than L.A.’s. Miamians have once again proven their digital prowess,…
We know that the moment we say anything is free, the masses head out in droves (free garbage, anyone?), but today’s local Social Media Day, held at the Pelican Hotel, is so much more than just free champagne. Once you can see past the really basic fonts on the logo,…
Slammed for breaching the privacy of users, Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, get a taste of their own medicine in Columbia Pictures’ latest foray into technology, The Social Network. If you know anything about technology and social media, you’ve at the very least heard of Facebook. The networking site…
Monday marked the first official day of summer. Time to pack your bags, load up the car, and go on those road trips. But do you really have to go sans your favorite tech? Stay.com doesn’t think so. The newly updated travel site is incorporating social media technology with only…

We text. We BBM. We instant-message. We Facebook-chat. Welcome to the antisocial social-media generation, where communicating with others is just a click away, and avoiding face-to-face confrontation is the wave of the future. When I was in school, I communicated with friends and classmates via note-passing. Now an archaic means…
For those of you who haven’t heard about the new iPhone 4 yet (hiding under a rock?), it’s pretty big. And Apple’s trying to up the ante by hiring big shot movie director Sam Mendes (of Revolutionary Road and American Beauty fame) to direct their new Ad…
