Top 10 List | Top Ten Lists

The digital age provides us plenty of opportunities to meet people and strengthen connections online. But sometimes, we see a different side of people online: the undateable side.

Need proof that finding your soul made on Facebook isn’t a good idea? Our Friends at Top 10 List took the liberty of finding some pretty ridiculous posts on Facebook from people who were single and for good reason. You know, the kind that make you scroll back and say “Seriously?!”.

More Info about the Largest Social Networking Site:

It’s weird, I know, but FB is like peanut butter and jelly: you must be some sort of freak if you’ve never tried it. (OK, or you have some severe allergy, but that doesn’t fit with my analogy so let’s move on.) Facebook is at the epicenter of our generation’s world, so anyone who isn’t on there is weird, right? I mean, how do you live without Facebook?

Matthew Myron, an author who recently wrote and did research on online privacy, has gone as far as to argue that not being on Facebook is like social suicide. ”Many people feel they have to be a part of Facebook to socialize. Such sites are the modern equivalent of a mobile phone. They have grown into fashion accessories and they are a must-have for people who don’t want to be social outcasts.”

Myron argues in regards to status updates and wall posts, but there is more to his argument than what meets the eye. When people have parties, they invite guests through Facebook. When people have birthdays, we send them messages (and are automatically notified) on Facebook. When people have anything to say, we say it all on Facebook.

And when someone doesn’t have Facebook, we think they are freaks hiding something.

Are those things even replacements for in-person chats or phone call conversations that are yesterday’s news?  Is someone’s profile a good way to judge him/her as being a social suicide freak? Probably not, but that is how we roll in “generation me” and anyone who is not a part of that will be left behind and out of the know when it comes to weekend ragers.

We may not want to admit it, but Facebook is a huge part of us and our our social lives. Not being on there might be worse for your social status than being “that girl” at a party or for every other Facebook hater. Or even being that annoying status updater who lets everyone know where they are at every possible second/puts up ambiguous statements that are just begging for attention. Ugh, those people are annoying.

The question that this article tries to ask: are people using Facebook to much? are they making themselves look like freaks? Will it make a difference if someone has Facebook or not? Truthfully, someone who is an outcast in real life, may well be an outcast on Facebook.

1.The Self-Loather

Nothing is less attractive than someone who has absolutely no confidence and is tirelessly lamenting their life and relationship status. It’s that whole mom-endorsed “you can’t love anybody until you love yourself” truism. Being honest is an attribute, but I don’t think that includes waxing on about your jaundice or crippling loneliness.

2. The Conspiracy Theorist

Wouldn’t you like a steamy date with boy-who-cried-fake-wolf, Alex Jones? Last week he filled the douchebag throne in the wake of the horrific Boston bombings. This is the type of dude that would check your criminal records  and square footage with the DateCheck app. There’s a place and time for people who constantly question accepted truths, but they are not “now” and “in your bed”.

3. The Constant Sarcastic

Apathy and sarcasm look really cute at first, but after six months, man, that’s gonna wear you down. Statuses like these are often accompanied by live reenactments of Seinfeld episodes and dispassionate views about ice cream and soon, your entire relationship.

4. The Quotidian

Oh, minutiae! 2:43: Looks down at feet. 2:44: Thinks about typing. 2:45: Types a little more of this article. 2:46: Decides to get the hell out of this relationship.

5. The Casual Misogynist

I am so happy this person finally made it to the internet so that I could approach them for a date. I have a feeling like he will respect me and enjoy my company a lot. Because I am a woman.

Are you getting tired of Facebook and the insecure and childish behavior friends exhibit on it? Facebook is the most popular social media site with over 425 million active users. And with great popularity comes some very shameful and disturbing behavior and people who look to tap into Facebook’s viral market to sell you their crappy selves or scheme your money through affiliate links and the like.

So if you happen to find yourself doing any of these top 10 irritating things on Facebook, you should look to stop doing so immediately before all of your friends look to jump ship and get rid of you. If you are losing friends on Facebook like sunflower seeds, you really need to find another approach to social media management.

1. Tagging Random People in Photos

You should quit tagging people you barely know in photos that have nothing to do with you or met at a party. It’s one thing when your buddy tags you in an unphotogenic pic, then sends it out to friends for them to laugh at. At least in this situation it’s you and your friends with the person who tagged you. But the people I’m talking about upload photos and tag as many people as they can to try and gin up as many likes as possible. This is a classic move by spammers so be cautious of anyone tries strategy out. I’ve had to call out several individuals over the years, even friends for their random tagging, and you should do the same if you suspect anyone doing this. Sending a personal message to them to stop could do the trick, but I feel like if some goofball wants to tag me in every one of his posts, he must be looking for my input so I give it to him publicly right then and there. Revenge is just a dish that is best served cold…

Worst of all… they know how picky you are about your pics and that you like to approve them before they hit the WWW. BUT, if they look good, they don’t give a flying monkey what you think They will post them and tag you anyways! Who cares if you look like a loser or cock eyed. It’s all about them! Cause they look like god!

2. Cross-Posting with Twitter

Look, we social media marketing experts understand that you are a little short on content and intelligent things to say on Facebook, but there is no need to post random stuff that no one cares about. We all post the same stuff on Twitter, Facebook, Google+, but at least have the guts to not automatically send your Twitter tweets to Facebook, because people will just mute you, dislike you, or defriend you. For one, you’ll get much less engagement posting to Facebook via any third-party app let alone Twitter which basically disregards Facebook etiquette. If you do this, it’s a clear sign you’re not really engaging with anyone on Facebook or are just too lazy to post new content manually, either way you will fail and friends and followers will keep disappearing.

3. Liking Your Own Posts

So you’ve just posted the new dog or the cutest baby pictures of your best friend. That’s cool, right? But then you go ahead and like your photo yourself. Well, we know you already like the post, aren’t you the one who just shared the thing? Besides being annoyingly repetitive, the real reason people feel the need to do this is that the action of liking the post will again show up in the streaming news ticker, giving the post even more exposure, sometimes double as much. These are typically the moves of self-proclaimed “social media gurus” or people who just feel insecure about their status posts. It’s obvious that you like your own content, you posted it yourself.

4. New Page Invites

Look, as social media marketing experts, we understand you need to create a page for your business, but do everyone else a favor and stop inviting them to your half-ass Facebook pages. Instead post interesting content to your own page, share it on your profile as well (so your friends see it), and if people are interested they will follow. There is also the new social graph that will allow others to network, who are not on your friends’ list. It’s almost not your fault, as creating a page and inviting all your friends can seem tempting, but most of your friends won’t like your page and maybe they won’t like you either and defriend you. And the ones who do like it would’ve probably found it anyways without your begging them to do so. So like the funny Oatmeal comic, don’t do this…

5. Useless App Requests

If you’re on Facebook all day playing CafeWorld and Hotelville, that should be embarrassing enough, and the last thing you should ever want to do is invite your friends and alert them to your obsessions. And I can’t even explain to you the ill feeling we get when we receive a request to join Vampire World, for example, even though we’ve already registered to be  friends with some  less intelligent friends who do not have a life or do not work.

Rule of thumb: Step off with the application requests! Only send the ones that are absolutely necessary, the awesomeness you’ve ever seen, etc. We don’t care, at all, what shape cocktail glass we are, we don’t want a shot, we don’t want to compare our favorite ‘Hills’ characters. No, no, and no.

Some people feel that every time they go on the Internet, their digital selves are being hijacked and driven to a shady data broker’s garage, where they get sliced, diced, and mined  and even sold for various purposes that are unknown to society. The people who feel like they’re getting info-jacked are starting to fight back by providing false-information security system.

Kevin Ludlow, a 33-year-old Texan software developer, calls this phenomena“Bayesian flooding” and as a data miner he wants to protect against is Facebook. The problem  with this is that once information has been collected, it will always be stored and associated with you and your name. He therefore argues that trying to hide information from Facebook may not work. A  possible solution would be to overwhelm the social media platform with too much information.”

This article examines the top 10 Facebook conspiracy theories that hit the roof recently and had many, many fans going crazy. You can never been to sure about Mark Zuckerberg and his intentions.

What is conspiracy theory?

A conspiracy theory explains an event as being the result of an alleged plot by a covert group or organization or, more broadly, the idea that important political, social or economic events are the products of secret plots that are largely unknown to the general public.

1.  Global Revolution

 Many conspiracy theorists argue that Facebook and other social media websites conspired to birth the political uprisings in Egypt and Tunisia. After all, they argue that Facebook offered of a forum for acute sociability and democratic processes, which have given the youth of those countries a taste for democracy. The Occupy Movement in the U.S. holds a very similar philosophy. Except the part where they fight tanks.

2.  High Divorce Rates

In a study done on UK divorce proceedings, it was found that 20 percent of divorce suits filed mentioned Facebook as a contributing factor to marital unhappiness. Couples the world-over began to flock away from the site now painted as a direct road to infidelity. But what media channels failed to offer was that unhappy marriages just happened to be more prone to spending time apart, especially on Facebook. To this day, people are still frightened over the myth that Facebook itself causes divorces. But, the social media platform is still growing and becoming even more popular.

3. Mark Zuckerberg is reading your mail

The Next Web, amongst other sources, revealed that if you mention a Facebook page in your private messages the likes for that page will increase. Admittedly it sounds a little innocuous at first, but surely it means someone was going through your messages and looking at the content.

Facebook admitted that it has been scanning messages but that’s an honest mistake. Mark Zuckerberg does not give a crap about who you’re dating. The whole purpose was to create those cute little thumbnails that come up at the bottom and the increased likes are apparently a virus.

But who would trust Zuckerberg…would you?

4. Facebook uses your photos for advertisement

When Facebook updated its terms of service back in 2009 many started question whether users really own their content once it’s uploaded to the site or whether it becomes fair game as soon as it hits the social network.

A Vancouver,  B.C woman filed a class action lawsuit against Facebook in2012 for profiting from an advertisement that used her photo and profile information without her consent.

Debbie Douez claimed that Facebook, Inc. allowed her name and photo to be used without her permission and acknowledgement for an advertisement that appeared on Facebook last year.

5. Facebook charges for accounts

This has to be the most popular rumor. Despite myths, top 10 list believes that Facebook is not charging and never will. However thousands of users every day, and frequently many more, spread the myth that Facebook is about to start charging for the service. The price tends to differ each time the myth arises, yet people continue to fall for this myth over and over again. We will have to wait and see if this will happen. For now, Facebook is introducing new features, most recently the Graph Search and before that it was the messenger.

1. Password Hints

If you’ve got online accounts, you’ve probably answered a dozen different security questions, telling your bank or brokerage firm your Mom’s maiden name; the church you were married in; or the name of your favorite song. Have similar things on the information page of your Facebook profile? You’re in for a royal treat by giving crooks an easy way to guess your passwords. Big NO NO!

2. Home Addresses

Facebook is a great way for organizing meet-ups with friends, but listing your private house party on there is not a very good idea. Unless you’re up for the kind of shindig that involves hundreds of party crashers  ripping up the carpet, spilling booze all over and doing away with your family valuable. To be honest, we would have thought people wised up by now after the dangers of Craigslist were exposed, but I still see this happening and people are still posting their personal information on Facebook

3.  Vacation Messages

Time for a bit of holiday in the sun? Good for you because you deserve it. Just try not to sign off for your trip with a status update along the lines of: ‘Yippee! Off to France for 10 days tomorrow!’ It’s not that we’re jealous (honest), it’s just that putting that kind of information online is little better than slapping a ‘not home for weeks’ poster on your front door. Even if you’ve taken the sensible precaution of not including your address on your Facebook page, it can still be easily found elsewhere online, especially with the new graph search.

Facebook knows who you are, what you’re interested in, where you go on the web, what apps you use, and more with this new graph search. However, other companies have bits and pieces of these data sets. LinkedIn knows your resume, Google knows your web searches, Twitter knows who and what  you follow, Apple and Amazon have your all credit card number on file, and your phone’s OS maker knows what apps you’ve downloaded. This is CIA of 21 st century. Who your real-life friends are, though, is Facebook’s domain. Nothing is every private.

There’s plenty of noise about all this. Some people blindly accept most requests they get, while others send them to anyone they meet once, and all the connections and networks grow over the years and quadruple. Still, if you want to jumpstart a social app, Facebook’s Find Friends feature is very valuable. It can be the difference between an empty feed and low retention, and a vibrant, addictive feed teeming with content from people you care about.

4.  Facebook Games

Time for a reality check. No one cares that you found a golden egg in your imaginary cowshed or that your cafe is growing super-great or farm is multiplying after being watered by good friend. In fact, people care so little, there are now even browser plug-ins available that will prevent Facebook game updates from showing in Facebook feeds. If you’re going to waste your time on Farmville or similar games, fair enough. Just turn off the auto-updates, please?

5. Confessions

This is not the place to make a big, large confession. You may hate your job, lie on your taxes or be a really good illicit drugs, but this is no place to confess it. Employers commonly peruse social networking sites to determine who they will hire — and, sometimes, who to fire.

Need proof? An emergency dispatcher was fired in Wisconsin for revealing drug use; a waitress got canned for complaining about customers and the Pittsburgh Pirate’s mascot was dumped for bashing the team on Facebook.  All in all, an estimated  8% of companies fired someone for “misuse” of social media.

The most appalling story?  A mother of three  was canned for posting on Facebook. She was fired after her employer claimed she violated the company’s social media policy by posting that the Harbin Clinic could not treat her sick child. Like millions of other, Roberson joined Facebook to keep in touch with family and friends.

Social networks like Facebook and Twitter are an excellent source of information and they allow you to meet new people or keep in touch with old friends. However, in the abundance of colorful characters that make up your friends list, you might also encounter several irritating shadows of the past. True, it’s your decision if you decide to accept their friend requests, allow them to see your posts, or even keep them in the list. But you do so at your own peril, especially if these people that you used to know closely resemble the following stereotypes. Be careful, they can be incredibly annoying!

1. The one who travels a lot

You know, he’s the guy who only posts vacation pictures from exotic locations around the globe on a regular basis. Your first reaction is to wonder where in the world does he have the money to finance his expeditions and how does he manage to keep a job when he’s always on the road. It wouldn’t be so bad to see pictures from different parts of the world if they didn’t constantly try to rub their achievements into other people’s faces and pretend they are so much more interesting than everyone else. These people represent the living equivalent of Neil Armstrong who constantly told terrible jokes about his lunar expeditions followed by the “you had to be there to get it” remark.

2. The vocational mother

Reproduction constitutes the main accomplishment of this person, followed closely by the posting of thousands of pictures with her “creations”. It’s true, most people find babies adorable, especially in limited amounts. However, when your entire life is based around making/raising babies and you constantly act condescending towards people who are not married yet or who have no kids of their own, then you are simply annoying. Maybe it’s a form of overcompensation for the lack of other talents?

3. The former boyfriend/girlfriend

Having your former partner among your Facebook friends is a good idea in 0.01% of the cases. Extremely few relationships end with a mature, consensual agreement between the two parties and even then there are still old grudges and loads of mutual resentment. The only thing your ex will try to do is show you that he/she has moved on and doing so much better with his current partner. If you don’t enjoy battles for moral superiority, then you should politely decline the friend request.

4. The one who can’t really move on from the days of high school

This guy’s achievement list peaked in high school, when he was the center of attention and has been going downhill from that point on. Naturally, he’s holding tightly to the happy times in his life and he is still holding on to his former fame by constantly reminding you his personal moments of glory, over and over again. In addition, he’s also the one who frequently tries to organize class reunions and awards himself meaningless titles like “Reunion committee president”.

5. The high school reject

That one, insignificant person who nobody cared about in high school is the exact opposite of the aforementioned case, the Sith for the Jedi if you will. In general, he states that he bears no resentment to former colleagues for not including him in their social activities – yes he does! – and brags about how his interpersonal status changed in college/workplace. Sadly, the only thing he wants to achieve is making you regret ignoring with him in high school.

When it comes to job searching, most of us quote this saying “It is not what you know, it is who you know,” especially in this age of social media where we’re more connected than ever before. More job seekers are using social media to find and research new opportunities – while employers are using it to find good candidates for employment.

But many people are still making small and preventable mistakes. We’ve all heard of the dangers come with posting on Facebook  and Twitter. Just take a look at our post Top 10 Disastrous Social Media Campaigns and you will see what I mean.

But other smaller mistakes could be harmful. Not updating a LinkedIn profile or not separating private and professional social networks can damage your career opportunities. And few people use the full power of their social networks.

A surveydone by Kelly Services Inc. found that less than 25%  of American job searchers were more likely to use social media than traditional methods, such as newspapers, job boards and recruitment firms. And many people aren’t aware that well-known companies such as Starbucks, Citibank and UPS use  Social Media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to recruit.

This article highlights top 10 suggestions for social networking that will help you when you’re job searching,  trying to market yourself effectively, and connect with people who can help with you find a job.

Let us know what worked and what didn’t and whether you had success.

Tips:

• Keep the information you publish on your personal social media profiles clean and professional, you do not want to follow in the footsteps of the American Red Cross employee who used the company twitter account to make a not so funny joke. This  may increase your chances of getting hired when your profile is seen by potential employers.

• Reply to and follow up in a professional manner with individuals in your social media audience who rebut or challenge your opinions or argument. This will demonstrate to potential employers that you are  open to constructive criticism feedback and can effectively handle negative comments without coming across as defensive or unprofessional.

1. Create Profiles

Build marketable, professional profiles for yourself. Include your job history going back no more than 15 to 20 years as well as your education and skills. LinkedIn is an obvious place for such a profile, but Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ are just as good for this type of information. These profiles should demonstrate not only what you’ve accomplished, but where your strengths lie and what you can offer future employers. Leave the ball in your hands and make a compelling argument, one that an employer cannot refuse.

2. Network

Connect with others in  your industry. LinkedIn’s Groups is the perfect place to start. Search the directory to find the relevant groups for your industry, join those that appear active and have numerous followers and then make sure that you introduce yourself to the other members so that they know who you are. Most importantly, be sure to build your social capital and become known as the source for quality content.

3. Add pictures

If you do not have a picture,  make sure you add one and that represents your in a professional manner! Never include images that are unprofessional and something that you would not want to show your own mother. Be weary of what you post on Facebook and Google, because with the advanced search options,  your information may easily spread beyond your friends and into the hands of unintended parties. Check out Facebook new social graph info.

Tip: Use a single photo, which identifies who you are. You’re imagination is the limit, but be careful with what you post. You don’t want to reveal too much info.

4. Show your expertise

Do not be afraid to show your expertise. Every time there is something to report, report it. Link it and feed it onto social media platforms.

Be careful with what you post, you may want to double check grammar, spelling and make certain that there is nothing offensive.

5. Meaningful connects

Connect with people, but make certain that you are upfront about it. Don’t send a default message; that’s unprofessional! Give your connections a reason to network with you. If you really want an in, tell them you’d love to learn more about their company and any positions they have opening. People love to talk about themselves and you can find more ways to get an in.

It is equally important to engage with individuals who are already working in your field, even close friends. This will help expose and promote your skills and content to potential employers. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ and Twitter all have a side bar, which suggest relevent user.

2011 was an eventful year on Facebook. Many users were quick to update there statuses regarding major developments and events. Some lent their support, others were opinionated about disgust, while the rest paid tribute to the best (heroes). Here is a list of 10 things people were talking about on Facebook in 2011. It expands on an article written by PC Mag on December 7, 2011 on www.pcmag.com and sites the reasons for the intrigue.

1. The death of Osama bin Laden:

The capture and death of bin Laden sparked great interest on the social network. PC Mag. reports that 10% of Facebook users in the English speaking world posted about the event on May 1, 2011.

2. Green Bay Packers defeating Pittsburg Steelers:

When the Packers won the Superbowl in February of 2011 that created great stir on Facebook. Through the use of memology, PC Mag reported this event as the second most talked about event on Facebook in 2011.

3. Casey Anthony Trial:

Using same method as the other 2, the magazine reported this as the 3rd most talked about story in 2011 on Facebook. Anthony was charged and tried for first degree murder of her 2 year old daughter in 2008; however, was acquitted in the end. She did face a misdemeanor for lying to police.

4. Charlie Sheen:

The whole fiasco with Sheen comes at #4 according to PC Mag. His ramblings, drug addictions and rampage against friends and co-workers, really got people talking. Although, his tour was sold out, they were not as popular as his troubles. Many viewers booed him and left agitated.

5. Steve Jobs death:

Many paid tribute to the co-founder of Apple when he passed away on October 5, 2011. He revolutionized the world of technology and was an inspirational speaker and leader who left a legacy the world still relies heavily on. He was and still is definitely missed.

Facebook is a social network used by 600 million cyborgs worldwide. Many cyborgs become addicted to this social networking site, spending hours on it. Although it serves to connect friends and family, many abuse the privileges for other purposes. They add strangers who can help them advance in their favorite game and they could add stars, who may or may not be the person they say they are. Here are the top 10 reasons cyborgs should delete and not to use Facebook.

1. Identity Theft:

Try searching for Barak Obama or Britney Spears and you will find not one, not two but infinite number of celebrities with the same pictures and with the same personal information. Identity theft is on the rise and we could see that just by searching celebrities. There is no stopping cyborgs from taking personal information from your wall and adding a fake account with your picture. As such, one should delete or not use Facebook if they do not want their information being copied and taken for granted.

2. It is not safe:

Although Facebook has tried to keep children under 13 off of Facebook, they have failed. Increasingly there are children under the age of 13 who utilize Facebook and create fake accounts which may or may not be noticeable by the Facebook crew. Secondly, Facebook says it believes in protecting the privacy of its users. In reality, everything one posts on Facebook is the property of Facebook. There is a high risk of personal information being sent to third parties for “research purposes”. If you don’t want your personal information being sent to third parties and for Facebook to have rights to your property, don’t use it and delete it.

3. Snooping:

On this social networking site, you have people snooping into your life, friends and non-friends. Co-workers who may know your friend or family member may see a picture of you smoking or drinking excessively. When you post or upload something to Facebook, it becomes public. No one posts for themselves. Your friend today may be your enemy tomorrow. For example, you may not be on the Google search engine, but the group you are part of is. Any pictures on the group may be seen and searched by everyone including your prospective employers. So do yourself a favour and do not use Facebook and delete it.

4. Cyber bullying is increasing:

I cannot count the numerous times cyber bullying has occurred on Facebook. If an account is hacked into, messages such as “I am gay” can pop up on the status, humiliating the user and sometimes shunning them amongst their friends. Worse is when a cyborg uses a photo of someone, edits it with the intent to make fun of a group or individual. There have been various incidents where an individual was tagged as a derogatory term in a group picture taken at a mutual event. It took Facebook 2 weeks to delete the picture and they still refused to take away the person’s privileges away after violating the terms and uses. There is nothing standing in the way of that individual from posting the photo and tagging it again. As Facebook is unsafe, one should also delete it and not use it.

5. Viruses:

Viruses are easily transmitted on Facebook. There have been times where a friend sends you a message with a link that has a viral effect on your computer. Other times, friends, whose account is hacked, is able to post on your wall telling you and your friends of an intriguing news report. If viruses are able to hit and multiply on Facebook, the site is not safe. If you want to eliminate the chances of viruses, do not add Facebook or delete it.

600 million people around the world utilize Facebook. Users could create a profile, chat with friends from around the world and connect with long lost love ones they haven’t seen in years. On Facebook walls, users are given a chance to update their status and/or post an update on another person’s profile. Here are the top 10 reasons why people update their Facebook status to deliver information. Raise your hand if you recognize one of the following situations.

Extensive research was done over a 10 day period. An overall analysis was done to discern the reasons why Facebook users update their statuses. These were the common trends, I found.

1. Losing a valuable:

Misplacing a valuable after a night out at a party happens to all of us. You ransack your homes, purses, cars and pockets, trying to find that precious possession. You even try to exhaust every number in your phone book to find out that no one has seen what you are looking for. Facebook is the answer to many people’s problems when it comes to losing a valuable. As soon as one posts on the wall status stating they lost something, his/her friends read it. They comment on the status and attempt to help find what is missing. You may not be able to find every person you are looking for in your phone book, but you are bound to find them on Facebook. As such, one cannot dispute the reason why umpteen users update their status to find their lost or misplaced valuable.

2. Busy/Unavailable:

“Somebody is playing pranks calling on me everyday for the last 3 days playing my favourite Arash song, wonder who?”

How many times have we been interrupted, while in a meeting or at the dinner table with family members? Better yet, how many of us have been peskily and non-urgently called? There are millions of people, who are frustrated with the not-so-convenient calls or contact attempts. Many Facebook users wish they could get the message across to everyone that they are not to be reached within certain times. They thus turn to Facebook statuses to relay that message. As most friends read the feeds they receive on the home page, everyone is bound to get the message.

3. Advocating Political Issues:

A perfect example of people advocating on behalf of a controversial yet political issue was the 2011 Federal Election in Canada. Facebook statuses were flooded with various reasons why a political figure in their riding should win the election. This created an intellectual debate amongst friends, who would agree or disagree with the status. Of the possible 700 friends present on my Facebook, 505 live in Canada. Of the 505, 201 were involved in a political debate and updated their statuses to advocate their political beliefs.

4. Games:

Various games on Facebook, such as CafeWorld, Farmville and Kingdoms of Camelot are addictive. Facebook users are quick to modify their facebook status to notify others of their need to advance in their favourite game. Whether they are building a barn in Farmville, a city in Cityville or a hotel room with excellent accessories in Hotelville, users are prone to be impatient when it comes to waiting for their requests to be accepted. They flood their walls with requests and update their status specifying their missions and needs. They share rewards to boost their requests.

5. Death:

As individuals encounter a loss, they sometimes try to inform others. Facebook status is exercised by various users to update information such as funeral arrangements and death announcements. Furthermore, various users provide ways others could show their condolences and support. As many Facebook users login to facebook once a day, they are prone to read the comment and receive the message.

When it comes to popularity, there are very famous celebrities which are loved by their viewers. Some of them might be respected as better people than just for their acting talent. However, this is not where it ends. The celebrities who are infamous among their fans are also reviewed by the fans for their troubled real life or reel life acts. Here, we will read about Top 10 most infamous celebrities on Facebook.

1. Michael Jackson

He rules our hearts with his music. However, controversies followed him as much as his popular music did. He has been accused of child sexual abuse more than once, during his career. It was believed that he has bleached his skin to gain a fair complexion. His huge fan list of 18,497,798 fans on Facebook is still increasing. He died with no confirm reason revealed of his death.

2. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga is more popular for her fashion style then her music. Her music is also outrageous and depicts bare daring acts from Lady Gaga. She does not keep bisexuality a secret from people.
