What is it good for...

Well, war is good for nothing.  But social media might be good for something.  Facebook actually helps fight hate and violence.  Just today, Fox News reports that a page that called for a "judgement day" and a killing all of the Jews had been removed from Facebook.


A spokesman for FB said that "people on Facebook should be able to express their opinions" but that pages with "direct calls for violence or expressions of hate" will be taken down.  That is what another page tries to do daily.  Wipeout Homophobia on Facebook presents pages that might want to spread violence and hate.
(Friend them here)


But, another thing that might be coming to Facebook will help other people.  A new service, called "Cloud Girlfriend" will create a girlfriend from a user's definition and then allow the user to connect and interact with her publicly on the social network.  (FoxNews.com)  Nothing like getting "poked" by your artificial intelligent girlfriend.


The website has yet to officially launch, but the service is already in high demand.  Oh yeah, I bet it is... where's my mouse, I need to click...
