If you've been cruising Facebook over the past three days you might have noticed your friend's profile pictures turning into giraffes. I had the excellent opportunity to speak with Andrew Strugnell, the man behind the recent giraffe craze that's taking over the social media site.

This is the exact opposite of bullying.

Facebook seems to have connected so many of us in recent years, and one young man recently used the social media site to his advantage when it came time to asking for someone to bail him out of jail!!

We are often very critical of Facebook, but the social media site may have just saved this guy's marriage. The guy in this photo, which was posted on Facebook, apparently cheated on his wife and she gave him the challenge to get 10,000 "Likes" on the social media site. If he got the amount of "Likes" she set, then she'd stay with him and attempt to save the marriage.

A church choir is getting a lot of recognition on YouTube for an original song titled "Keep Yo Business Off Yo Facebook."

An awful story out of Miami has seen a man kill his wife and then write about it on Facebook, with a picture of the body and an apparent confession on his page.

ABC news announced that Facebook now has 'Graph Search' for everyone. It used to be exclusive to only certain people on Facebook. Basically, you pick a friend and select  what you want them to see on your personal Facebook page with out them ever knowing you did it or blocking them. It keeps people you know from getting their feelings hurt. Its pretty cool and here is the video that tells you how

If you have Instagram, check your updates in the app store because there is a new feature that might surprise you. If you weren't aware, Facebook owns Instagram; and to challenge the explosion of the popular video app that Twitter brought to the table with Vine, they did what seemed most logical. They brought video to Instagram.

If you think you're saving the world by liking a page on Facebook, UNICEF Sweden has got some news for you -- you're not. Liking a page is a great way to keep informed about a charity or cause, but unless it's part of a specific campaign, it doesn't actually do much good...

There's a funny thing about parents and technology. That being a majority of moms and dads are pretty tech unsavvy without the help of us internet-obsessed younger folk. And while parental struggles can be frustrating at times, their attempts to get in the techy loop are mostly just hilarious. This is particularly true with Facebook.

Shawn Moore, a firearms instructor, posted this photo of his 11-year-old son on Facebook, and it resulted in a visit from the New Jersey Police and personnel from Family Services. The gun the kid is holding is a .22 rifle, a copy of the AR-15, but a 22 caliber.

Just when you finally got used to the latest Facebook News Feed design, they're changing it again. Facebook announced it's newly designed News Feed feature today, and according to the social media powerhouse, you can look forward to less clutter and more visuals.

After scrolling through my News Feed on Facebook in recent days, I have now found my latest viral pet peeve. I have survived through "planking," "owling," the "Harlem Shake," but the latest Facebook fad has got to go!!!

If any of you guys have the single status on your Facebook page and it bothers you, "Cloud Girlfriend" is coming to the rescue. An Internet venture is now offering single guys on Facebook a "virtual girlfriend" for just five dollars.

Yesterday we learned that more and more people are taking long breaks from Facebook. If they're not getting paid for these social network hiatuses they may be doing it wrong.

If Facebook was anything like Friendster and MySpace it would be only available in  Malaysia or reduced to a Justin Timberlake vanity product. Yes, the Harvard-born social network has beat the odds and looks like it will be around for the long-haul. In fact, the latest debate surrounding Facebook is what happens to a member's page when they die.

Valentine's Day may be in the air, but it seems like there isn't a ton of love for Facebook

Well, this certainly didn't take long. Only a few days after Facebook unveiled their new search engine Facebook Graph Search, a Tumblr mocking it has been made, and it's a hit.

Instagram has announced today that it basically has the right to sell your photographs without compensating you, much less notifying you about it. Naturally, this has caused quite the uproar amongst both users and non-users of the photo-sharing site.

Ahh, tis' the holiday season, and with Turkey Day soon approaching, we will be hanging with family that we only see twice a year at most. What better way to break the ice with your great uncle Charlie, than introducing him to those HI-LARIOUS fake Facebook conversations between the NFL's most popular quarterbacks?
