3 Things Your Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Reveal About You
President-elect Donald Trump follows all but 41 people on Twitter. His choices of who to follow reveal his taste in the kind of content he wants to see. For instance, there aren’t many politicians he follows, almost a fourth of the accounts he follows are his own hotels and golf clubs, and also a handful of conservative commenters.
From a comment we make to a photo we share, our social media decisions and choices reveal a lot more about us than we may think.

But every once in awhile a question arises over what is considered free speech that can make us pause. The rise of social media networks like Facebook and Twitter have complicated things even more.

Your Tinder Profile Could Be Used As Evidence
Increasingly, court cases are using social media to gather evidence. As criminal lawyer Brooke Winter said, “There is no such thing as a private conversation on social media.”
The Tinder Murder Case
You might have already read about the Gable Tostee case. It was a Tinder date gone astray in Australia that ended in death. In 2014, 26-year-old Warriena Wright matched with 28-year-old Gable Tostee on Tinder. The two flirted over text conversations, then met for the first time on August 8, 2014.

Facebook News: Fact or Fiction?
A story by TechCrunch last week suggested that Facebook is “doing a terrible job” at being a media organization and should follow the lead of Google in fact-checking information in the news. According to the story, Facebook is failing to moderate the trending of fake or inaccurate stories,despite protests from the company that it is not in the news business. Facebook’s avoidance of such editorial duties has the unfortunate consequence of making it more likely that the ever-growing number of people who rely on it for a main news source are more likely to encounter fake news and share it themselves among their friends and family.

Don’t Believe Everything You Read on Facebook
Our parents used to tell us “don’t believe everything you see on TV.” Their parents told them, “don’t believe everything you read.” Has the time come to warn our kids about the dangers of believing every Facebook update they encounter? Sadly, the answer appears to be yes…and it’s not just kids who are the gullible ones, we are too!
In fact, according to a recent survey, a majority of Americans now view search engines (something Facebook aspires to be) as a more credible source of news than actual news sites. This might be considered disturbing for a number of reasons, not least of which involves the “right to forget” controversy impacting Google in Europe.

10 Compelling Niche Online Dating Sites
According to eHarmony, 40 million Americans now date online, which equals roughly 40% of all single people in America. With such a huge pool of people to choose from, it can feel overwhelming to sift through messages and find a potential partner online, especially if you’re a woman who is bombarded with messages from guys wanting to take you out.
One solution to this challenge has been found in the rise of niche online dating sites, which attempt to corral singles into similar cohorts by age, shared interests, ethnicity or religion. By narrowing your playing field of potential dates, you may paradoxically have a better chance of finding the right person for you. But how do you know what’s available? We took a look at this growing field for you and listed ten notable niche dating sites from the thoughtful to the bizarre.
