About a month ago, Facebook made the change so that all entities we have become fans of are now simply entities that we like. Prior to that change, I can click the "Become a Fan" button to receive updates, just like the outcome of following a Twitter user. Consequently, my name appears on the page profile as one of its fans while the page appears on my account profile. Obviously, "Like" is not new to Facebook. To signify my thumbs up feedback to a photo album or a friend's status update, I can easily click the "Like" button. According to Facebook, users click "Like" almost twice as much as they click "Become a Fan" -- so, it follows that if Facebook changes "Become a Fan" to "Like," more users will click on it. Whatever source Facebook such info was extracted, the numbers don't seem to add up.

The headline "Facebook mulls entering China market" from Sina appears inaccurate. Inaccurate in the sense that Facebook definitely had that in mind and it's no longer news that the social media giant wants a slice of China market. Only that it's currently blocked and relatively unknown to China Internet users.

Mashable reports that according to one survey conducted by Liberty Mutual’s Responsibility Project, 56% of Americans think it's irresponsible to be connected to a boss in Facebook. And as if bosses return the favor, 62% of them think it's wrong to friend an employee.

I find this surprising to see the high level of unwillingness for both boss-employee Facebook connection. For the record, I have connection to at least four of my past superiors at work. I don't see any reason why I should open my profile to everyone except to bosses. If accessing Facebook at work is the issue, then that should justify this survey feedback.

Other findings from the study include a polarized take on whether social media profiles should be part of screening job candidates: 52 per cent say it is appropriate and 48 per cent disagreeing. In my opinion, why not? If a candidate's profile is filled with random postings about Mafia Wars and Farmville at any given time of the day, is that enough evidence that this would-be employee has poor work ethic and display proof of unproductive day at work?

Ever wondered what are the top terms on status updates posted by Facebook users? Now we will all know as Facebook releases its inaugural Facebook Memology, a yearly list of the top trending memes or ideas.

Given the 300 million Facebook users and high percentage of active accounts sharing hundreds of millions of updates everyday, there's high volume of terms digested by Facebook Data, grouping the related topics and ranking them altogether to come up with this list.

The report found out that while people often share about celebrities and related entities (movies, deaths), but they also share personal topics related to family, and religion. Please note that the list below aren't the exact terms people use, but are the ideas of individual status messages.
