You use Twitter. You use YouTube. You use Amazon. You check Reddit. You know what TMZ is. You even been on PostSecret before. But when did you start using all of this stuff? What was your first post? Do you want to know what each of those websites first post was? Yeah you do. Read More >>

Unless you happen to work for the search giant that created it, Google+ is probably not your social network of choice. Nevertheless, there's a ton of functionality hidden behind its walls, covering everything from photos to local searches as the influence of Google+ stretches across the company's multitude of other products. Here's how to get the most out of it. Read More >>

At this point, you're almost weirder if you don't use any social networks than if you were a social media obsessive who tweets, Facebooks, Instagram and hashtags the hell out of your vocabulary. It's how weird the world is now. Social networks are real life. But who are the people who make up these worlds? If there are 12 personality types in social networks, which one are you? Read More >>

You know all the social networks we use? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, hell even LinkedIn and everything else? They're all just replacing old stuff we used to do by ourselves at our desks. Twitter would be Post-Its, Skype would be a phone call, Foursquare is your globe and YouTube is the distracting window to the outside world. I rather like these old world translations to new social networks. Quick! Somebody find something that we used to use at our desks and create a social network. You'll make millions! Read More >>

All those social networks we spend more than half our life on? There all just varying degrees of the same damn thing. Basically, look at my cat's albums. Watch my cat videos. Read how I hashtag my cat. Check this filtered cat. And on and on we go. Read More >>

Google's darling social network's had an update -- bigger cover photos, a new layout for the 'About' section, and more local reviews, for those of you still eschewing the big Plus. What strikes me, though, is that it's looking rather a lot like a Mountain-View-skinned version of Facebook. Read More >>

Founded in 2002, Friendster was a pioneer among social networks, beating MySpace and Facebook to the scene and, at its peak, boasting over 100 million users. In 2009, though, it swiftly descended into irrelevance and obscurity — and computer scientists have been scraping though its remains to work out exactly what went wrong. Read More >>

You can sign into sites and apps with Facebook and Twitter, and soon you can do the same with your Google+ account. Read More >>

Parody Twitter accounts are a pox on the internet. Comedian Jake Fogelnest, however, has done his part to prevent another one of these vile, unfunny things from becoming a thing. Read More >>

We know Facebook ads are tracking us, we just don't always know which ones. But that process is about to get more transparent because Facebook is going to start labeling the ads you see based on past behaviour. Read More >>

After six months of beta testing, the new MySpace is finally opening its doors to the public: now, anyone who wants an account can trot over to the site and sign up. Read More >>

As amazing as it sounds, the social network juggernaut that's almost to big to fail, actually lost 600,000 users in the UK over Christmas. Looks like a load of Britons had just plain had enough with Zukerberg's privacy invasions. Read More >>

People. This is it. Facebook has something to show us, on January 15th no less. "Come and see what we're building" says the invite. What could it be? The fabled, practically-vapourware Facebook phone? Maybe a Facebook tablet? Or in fact, Facebook could have a new cyborg plug-in for your brain, so you can instantly over-share literally everything, including pure thought. Amazing! Read More >>

If you're the dramatic, over eager type who burns bridges for a living (or if you're just sick of all the bullcrap on the Internet), you can delete your Instagram account with hardly any fuss. Unlike other social networks that add hurdles and boulders and cliffs and a jazillion questions to stop you from deleting your account, getting rid of Instagram is pretty easy. Here's how.
