Pretty simple and a bit complicated / Random, crude, hilarious tales of my life / Things I love and things I despise / Laugh with me-Crying is for Lollipops / Human but out of this world / And the only constant is my favorite color: Dark Turquoise.

I absolutely loved this. Here are the first three:
- Mind your manners. Social media is still social. Even though we are interacting in a virtual space, the same traditional social rules, laws, and faux pas still apply. If you act like a jerk, don’t expect many friends.
- Tuck in your shirt. How you present yourself is just as important in the virtual world as it is in the real world. Make sure you are always aware of how you appear to others.
- Send a thank you card. People still appreciate being appreciated. It really doesn’t take much to convert an acquaintance to a friend, which will offer exponentially more value. A simple thank you, or any genuinely human interaction of gratitude goes a long way towards this goal.

AP Exclusive: CIA following Twitter, Facebook
McLEAN, Va. (AP) — In an anonymous industrial park in Virginia, in an unassuming brick building, the CIA is following tweets — up to 5 million a day.
At the agency’s Open Source Center, a team known affectionately as the “vengeful librarians” also pores over Facebook, newspapers, TV news channels, local radio stations, Internet chat rooms — anything overseas that anyone can access and contribute to openly.
From Arabic to Mandarin Chinese, from an angry tweet to a thoughtful blog, the analysts gather the information, often in native tongue. They cross-reference it with the local newspaper or a clandestinely intercepted phone conversation. From there, they build a picture sought by the highest levels at the White House, giving a real-time peek, for example, at the mood of a region after the Navy SEAL raid that killed Osama bin Laden or perhaps a prediction of which Mideast nation seems ripe for revolt.
Yes, they saw the uprising in Egypt coming; they just didn’t know exactly when revolution might hit, said the center’s director, Doug Naquin.
The center already had “predicted that social media in places like Egypt could be a game-changer and a threat to the regime,” he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press at the center. CIA officials said it was the first such visit by a reporter the agency has ever granted.

I’ve been spending more time on Twitter lately (@michaelwroberts for those keeping score) after needing a break from Facebook’s incessant updates and Google+’s relative newness, and I had forgotten some of the humorous ways that people run their Twitter accounts. I understand that some people only use social media as a marketing means to support whatever online business they may be trying to push, but some characteristics of these accounts just scream out that these people don’t care about the social experience online.

On the other hand, exactly.
