Letter from Mark Zuckerberg…

Leslie Fishlock No Comments

Mark Zuckerberg in his own words in the Facebook S-1 filing today with the SEC…The Hacker Way…. Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission — to make the world more open and connected.  We think it’s important that everyone who invests in Facebook understands what this mission means to us, how we make decisions and why we do the things we do. I will try to outline our approach in this letter.  At Facebook, we’re inspired by technologies that have revolutionized how people spread and consume information. We often talk….

Facebook Now Adds LGBT Relationship Status Options

genevangelist No Comments

To describe your relationship status on Facebook, we had the choices for so long of “Single, In a relationship, Engaged, Married, It’s complicated, In an open relationship, Widowed, Separated and Divorced”. Now U.S. residents can choose between “In a domestic partnership” or “In a civil union,” to describe their current relationship status. It was only a matter of time for societal norms to kick in and alter social media sites, but congrats to Facebook for making the change to allow some users their own special category that reflect their current relationship. Now if we can just get a relationship status….
