Instagram is Bad for Mental Health? Try Facebook!
Not a knock against them – I use it, and use it regularly, but anyone who claims Instagram is the worst form of social media, mental health-wise probably doesn’t use its sister company, Facebook enough. Or maybe I just have weird friends. In the past year or so, I have had to unfollow a bunch […]
That Fabulous Life of a Blogger
…NOT!!! I’m no influencer. I’m pretty much just some person from Toronto who runs a blog – just like hundreds of others in the city. I don’t even get invitations to the so-called “coolest” parties.

Virgin Mobile Wants You to Join the Love!
Over the lunch hour on March 28, Virgin Mobile Canada hosted “Love-Fest” at Bay and Bloor in Toronto. The “flash mob” event was to get Facebook to add a “love” button so people can not just “like” something, but “love” it. After all, “like” isn’t as strong an adjective as “love”. Dozens of people braved the […]
Twitter App Review: HootSuite and SocialScope
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Well, UberSocial is back now, complete with ring tone alerts (an updated app was created this morning due to a glitch in the one released last night). During the Great Uber Outtage of 2011 this past weekend, I tried two alternatives Twitter alternatives on my Blackberry, HootSuite and SocialScope. Both apps, unlike UberSocial or […]
Holiday Party Etiquette Refresher
Cynthia Cheng Mintz Good behaviour is very important at parties, so here are some rules to always remember (regardless of what kind of holiday or party you are going to): If you’re at a cocktail event, make sure you mingle.

Facebook’s ‘Messaging’ Service – Not Serious and Nothing Really New Here
If it looks like email, feels like email and works like email, it’s email. Sorry, but whatever Mark Zuckerberg calls it, the new @facebook.com service announced today is a form of email, even if it integrates instant messaging, texting and so forth. Having seen the screenshots of what this service is going to look like, […]
