First, a salute to some heroes.\u00a0 Did you see the video of the emergency landing <\/a>of Delta flight 4951<\/a> on Saturday night? \u00a0Due to the skill of the pilot<\/a>, there were no injuries and a narrowly avoided disaster.<\/p>\n

For real disasters, however, the role of social media<\/a> has become vital for spreading information. The recent wildfires in Boulder and the explosion in San Bruno, California have made Twitter and Facebook central sources for up to date information<\/a> from loved ones and eyewitnesses.<\/p>\n

Some very recent stories also spotlight the use of social media for the good of human kind<\/a>, namely the nonprofit<\/a> sector. \u00a0From building awareness around diseases like malaria<\/a> to the catastrophe in Darfur, burgeoning technological advances<\/a> have changed the landscape for many different causes. \u00a0Have you gotten involved with a cause on social networking sites?<\/p>\n

Did you feel less stressed last week? According to a survey from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology,<\/a> always being connected through social media can increase stress, weaken personal relationships, and even cause sleep loss. \u00a0If this is the case, Facebook<\/a>\u2019s outages <\/a>last week could have been stress relievers, had it not been for the major chain reaction of venting<\/a> on Twitter.<\/a><\/p>\n

Media, media, media. According to a recent survey, people are now spending one-half of their waking days<\/a> interacting with media<\/a> — more than sleeping or working.\u00a0 Some ask, should social networking should be banned at work?<\/a> Of course, I believe social networking is a part of work, so I support appropriate use at the office.<\/p>\n

\n

Bike much? \u00a0Perhaps you do if you live in Washington DC, home of the largest public bike-sharing program<\/a> in the country.\u00a0 Bikeshare now has 1,100 bikes available for rent. \u00a0Some say the closer the bike path, the higher the property value<\/a>.\u00a0 Do you value such things when you are considering a new community?<\/p>\n

If you are a wine enthusiast or just want to seem like one to your friends, check out Snooth<\/a>\u2019s app which allows users to scan wine labels to learn more about or purchase a particular wine of interest. Salut!<\/p>\n
