Spring Cleaning

Sometimes when relaxing at  home, you realize you're becoming quite cluttered and need to get rid of unimportant items. I'm when you're browsing Facebook you get the same feeling when Suzie Jenkins uploads a new photo album and you cannot recognize her one bit.

It's nothing out of the ordinary for us to have hundreds, or even thousands, of Facebook friends whom we could care less about. So if we don't care or want these peoples as Facebook friends why keep them? Well, Facebook makes removing friends a long, and annoying, process.

Luckily for us, there is a new App available to help with the friend removal process. Duster. To 'dust' a user is the apps way of saying 'defriending'

The app will either show users 'friends' who they haven't been interacting with lately to delete, or shows a list of 'friends' that allows users to select who to delete or who they ant to see less from. This app could make Facebook more enjoyable for some people for now on since they can easily get rid of people.

Can You Miss Something You Barely Remember?

Whether you paid attention to it or not, the Poke App created by Facebook is now gone.

Personally, I forgot the app existed, let alone the option of 'poking' someone on their mobile app or desktop site. Unlike the usual pokes we're used to seeing Facebook, the Poke App also allowed users to send pictures, text, and video for up to 10 seconds until they disappear. Sound familiar?

This app sounds like an identical twin to SnapChat, except the Poke App was created a year later a clearly not as popular as SnapChat.

The few who actually used this app I'm sure are devastated. As for me (and probably the rest of us) I'm unaffected. Don't worry though guys, the original, pointless Facebook Poke that has been around since it's birth in '04 is still around, just not publicly.

Beware of the Twitter Troll

Patton Oswalt (The King of Queens) has been sending out a slew of false apology tweets which has led to some controversy. 

All of the false apology tweets began with how he had just "deleted his last tweet". One tweet read:

Previous Tweet very hurtful. Already deleted. @KimKardashian & @JoeBiden are national treasures. As are our Native American friends.

Some people began to think he was making racist remarks, rape related jokes, and anything else that offended them when he never truly did.  

The point of his tweets was to prove becoming outraged over anything is so common today over the internet. He created the false apologies to get a reaction from people and since nobody ever saw the "tweets he deleted" they became outraged at his apologies. 

He had done this once before last summer. His tweets when read together said nothing politically incorrect, but he strategically separated them into two tweets to see who would become angry (and who isn't reading everything)

 Whatever opinion you may feel about Patton's Tweets, he is just trolling you. He wants to prove all we do is cause a reaction to anything we read online. Be careful of who's really being offensive versus the harmless trolls on the web. 

Seniors Mock the Freshmen Wherever You Are

Over the past couple of days, the video of Ariana Grande's performance at the iHeartRadio awards has been going viral. It isn't solely because of her performance though. The video can be found here.

About two minutes into the performance, the camera goes to Rihanna and she is seen giggling at Ariana's dancing, in a mocking manner. I have been seeing and hearing countless sites, radio stations, blogs, and more posting and discussing the video.

On Tumblr, I had seen GIF-sets created that were being reblogged like crazy.

Neither Rihanna or Ariana have spoken anything about the video.

I'm not a major fan of either performer personally, I feel indifferent towards them. But I do feel Rihanna should have been a better sport, I'm sure we all can think of occasions in which we mocked her and her artistic decisions.
