I’m proud to say that Ideanatomy now has its own little place in the web. Scoot on over to www.ideanatomy.com and see what I’ve been up to these past few weeks. See you there!
Was Facebook hacked?
If you’re having problems with your Facebook notifications lately, i.e. getting updates and groups from people you don’t know, then you’re not alone — lots of people started complaining about it since last Sunday, June 19. Fortunately, I’ve found a solution to it. Details after the jump.
Hi folks! Here are interesting reads I’ve found during the past week, enough to tide you over until Monday’s post. Happy weekend!
Sorry folks, I’m not really feeling well so I have to pass on today’s post. Don’t worry though, I’ll have two bright and shining articles for you tomorrow. For now, in the spirit of all the royal hulabaloo that had recently invaded cyberspace, here is Mashable’s list of hilarious tumblelogs related to the royal wedding coverage. (And yes, there are lolcats involved.)
Until tomorrow.
Do you know that your Facebook profile actually reflects an authentic picture of who you are? Cross my heart — it’s the truth — at least if we’re to accept the recommendations of this recent study.
Called the extended real-life hypothesis, the researchers posit that, regardless of users idealized versions of themselves, anything that they put in their Facebook profiles actually paints a mostly accurate picture of who they really are. This is a direct opposite of what is called the idealized virtual-identity hypothesis which assumes that people always have their best foot forward, including portrayals that are pretty off-tangent. (Nifty, the next time you want to stalk someone.)
Of course, the study had focused on American and German university students only so maybe this particular finding only applies to them. Makes me wonder how a localized adaptation of the study would work out. Hmm. What do *you* think, do Filipinos (and other Asians) also show their true selves online? Be sure to hit the comments!
