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!

Usher Raymond and his lady love Grace Miguel posted a rare self shot yesterday via Instagram.

Miguel, 46, is not only Usher’s homie, lover friend, she’s also his manager. If you recall, Usher dumped his momanager, Jonetta Patton for Miguel, who was once a high level executive at Def Jam, and she now manages her boo’s day to day activities.

Miguel is reportedly Usher’s ‘right hand,’ which is why she’s right by his side in Panama as he shoots scenes for his role as legendary boxing champ Sugar Ray Leonard.
