Facebook is really stretching the boundaries of a lot of things lately. The newest ‘deal’ they are offering their users is, how do I say this, pretty stupid.

Courtney Love, rock musician famous for being married to Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, is being sued for libel after tweeting some nasty things about her personal fashion designer.

Last night Facebook announced a new feature for users who share content on the social network. Now when you post content, your friends will be able to let you know if they like what you're posting by simply clicking a button.

Making money wasn't always the greatest concern for the founders of Twitter. It's success in terms of business interest practically came by accident, mirroring the thoughts of this post from Shomemoney.

Now here's an interesting approach to social media marketing. Burger King has a new campaign going, which requires interested consumers to install a Facebook App, and then to delete ten of their friends in exchange for a voucher for a free Whopper sandwich.

Researchers at the University of Georgia have concluded there are lots of narcissists on Facebook, and you probably know one—or several. How do you know if your friend is a narcissist? According to the study, count the number of contacts he maintains, as well as the number of wall posts. Are there a lot of them? While you’re at it, check for palm hair and sudden episodes of blindness. This person loves himself. A lot.

Facebook is not a social network. Who knew? That's what they have told their users anyway. TechCrunch shares an email that a user was sent when their account was deleted. In that email, Lauren of User Operations for Facebook says:

If apologizing to friends, family, classmates, colleagues, acquaintances, and anybody who's ever graced your email inbox is your thing, then signing up with "social networking" site Tagged.com is the way to go. Or, you could tell the FTC the site's founder is still up to his old tricks.
