WATCH THIS! A Day In The ‘REAL’ Life Of Your Favorite Flossin’ Facebook Friend… [VIDEO]

Jun, 25 2014 | Written by ATLien

There’s an interesting viral video going around this week about how easy it is to flex on social media.

Now, I’m not one to floss online (insert side-eye) but I’m sure you’ve seen quite a few people online who love to ‘show off’.

Like that one guy who’s always posting photos of all his cash… or that chick who is constantly posting ‘boo’d up’ photos with her boyfriend of the moment. We’ve all been ‘catfished’ a time or two or three (and probably don’t even know it)…

Don’t front, I’m almost positive you’ve ‘flexed’ online a time or two too!

Mimi Faust of Love and Hip Hop Atlanta has gained quite a bit of popularity with her reality show stint, but she had a rough childhood to say the least.

Sadly, Mimi’s Dad passed away recently and she wrote a small tribute to him on Instagram. But what followed was a series of mean text messages from Stevie J and you won’t believe what he said!

WATCH THIS!! Social Media Experiment Proves We Post Way Too Much Online… [VIDEO]

Apr, 10 2014 | Written by ATLien

Comedian Jack Vale shot a video a few months ago of a ‘social media experiment’ to prove that many of us post way too much personal information online.

One can learn a lot about a random stranger simply based on information posted via Instagram, Twitter and/or Facebook and Vale’s video is solid proof that a lil snooping can go a very long way!

Random strangers were shocked when a stranger (Vale) walked up to them and casually mentioned facts only they would know (ie hey it’s your birthday… or did you just eat chicken?).

If you post your every meal… your every whereabout… your every ‘everything’ online, you might think twice and may even change your privacy settings after watching this.

Facebook Fail! Mom’s Quest to Publicly Shame Daughter Backfires Online…

Mar, 22 2014 | Written by ATLien

A Colorado mother attempted to teach her daughter a lesson about placing photos online, but ended up learning a valuable lesson herself!

Kira Hudson posted a public photo of her daughter on Facebook, asking friends to share it. The caption stated:

My 12-year-old daughter doesn’t understand why she can’t have an Instagram or Facebook account… Please ‘like and Share’ … She just doesn’t get it!

Hudson had the youngster pose with a sign that read, “3/18/14: Mom is trying to show me how many people can see a picture once it’s on the internet.”

[FLASHBACK: Facebook Fail! Daughter's Online Post Costs Dad $80,000...]

The photo got very close to receiving a million ‘likes’ and Hudson felt she had taught her daughter a lesson.

But wait! The true lesson in this experiment was learned by the mom after the photo went viral and and her address and phone number ended up online! She also noticed that the innocent message in the photo had been altered numerous times and some even included obscene messages!
