How many \u201cfriends\u201d do you have on Facebook? If you are connected with people who are not true acquaintances, Jimmy Kimmel is calling on you to partake in \u201cNational UnFriend Day.\u201d<\/a> Geeksugar lays out some un-friendable offenses.<\/a> What would cause you to un-friend someone?<\/p>\n

Are you a drunken tweeter? \u00a0Enter the Social Media Sobriety Test<\/a>\u2026Yes, you heard me right. \u00a0In a sign of the times, Webroot<\/a> released a new plugin that allows users to set hours to block access <\/a>to sites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Flickr. \u00a0If you try to go to one of the social media sites during the time period, you will be subjected to a difficult test (i.e. typing the alphabet backwards).<\/a><\/p>\n

Google<\/a> is spreading some holiday cheer to AirTran, Delta and Virgin America passengers in the form of free Gogo Wi-Fi<\/a> on domestic flights during the busy travel season. \u00a0I suspect the visibility will result in more all-around love for the search engine – and sales for retailers. It\u2019s a great strategy.<\/p>\n

In other seasonal news, Black Friday<\/a> has come early this year – really early. \u00a0Holiday sales<\/a> are already in full force at retailers nationwide. Have you started your shopping yet?<\/p>\n

If not, you should join Facebook Places<\/a>. \u00a0Mark Zuckerberg announced last week a new \u201cDeals\u201d feature<\/a> which allows people to find deals nearby when checking into a location on Facebook. \u00a0Gap<\/a> last week gave away 10,000 free pairs of jeans<\/a>! \u00a0I challenge you to buy at least one of your holiday gifts through the feature – it could save you a bundle!<\/p>\n

In an effort to offer a competitive advantage in the usually homogeneous hotel industry, Marriott International’s Renaissance Hotels<\/a> is launching an arts program, RLife Live<\/a>, which encompasses music, culinary arts and design through hotel-branded entertainment during on-property experiences. Interesting way to attract guests and locals alike!<\/p>\n

Long gone are the days of sending a hand-written letter to Pennsylvania Avenue<\/a> hoping for an answer to burning questions on the state of the union. \u00a0This week, Monster.com<\/a> members will be able to ask the Obama Administration<\/a> questions on the country\u2019s employment outlook on Monster\u2019s Facebook page. \u00a0Interesting!<\/p>\n

Did you watch the ING New York City Marathon<\/a> this weekend? It was, as always, an inspiring event, especially as rescued Chilean miner Edison Pena<\/a> crossed the finish line. Way to go, runners!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
