Facebook gifts will be unveiling a new, real-life gift-giving feature that can potentially stir up some controversy between friends and relationships. By default, the new Facebook Gifts feature will appear on all Facebook Timeline pages which will make a normally private gesture, very public! I would not recommend sending Facebook Gifts to just anyone. Send gifts to close friends on their birthdays and other special occasions. Remember to keep the gift appropriate to your relationship with the recipient... read more.

Zuckerberg may be in over his head with this lawsuit which claims that JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley tipped of on... read more.

Social media powerhouse, Facebook, acquired rising star in the mobile/social space, Instagram.

With just a few months to spare before their IPO, Facebook looks to mobile advertising as a way to increase revenue streams to keep future shareholders satisfied. Presently, Facebook has no way to monetize its mobile applications. With over 425 million Facebook users using its mobile device application, there is a need to capitalize upon the on-the-go market. 425 million users is just over half of the total Facebook user base (845M). In order to take advantage of this trend, Facebook is believed to be star... read more.
