social media

I love the power of social media. It can be the not-so-nicest place to hang out but usually, if someone nearby needs help, the internet is there. On the other hand, people also blindly share things and then old news starts trending.

Social Media and the internet make it hard to be a parent. There's an app that just hit the United States that may be able to help.

The Albany City School District is investigating a social media event called "Exposure Day." I knew kids were mean when I was in school but I can't believe it's gotten this bad!

I did a double take last night when I saw more than a few local photographers posting pictures of mom's breastfeeding their babies. While the shots were tastefully done, I was surprised to see as much nudity as I did.  It's National Breastfeeding Week and life hasn't been this "nipply" since Janet Jackson during the 2004 Super Bowl.  I was curious to find out what's considered acceptable

Imagine you're Sheryl Crow. Ya know, multi-platinum, award winning, successful singer/songwriter, Sheryl Crow. You're just doing your normal Sheryl Crow-ish things, minding your business. Maybe you're in the studio recording, maybe you're at home gardening (does Sheryl Crow garden?) Whatever you're doing, you're just doing you. Then you see it.

Social media can be a scary situation for parents especially when they keep updating and changing everything about each app and service. Snapchat is the latest to cause a commotion and that is with their new "Snap Map."

After a long 6-month investigation into a cock fighting ring in Herkimer County, Police, uh, cracked the case and arrested 40-people involved. They also discovered a training facility and caught the two robbers that snagged evidence from their coop. *ba dum tsssss*

A bunch of angry calls came into the show to the show this morning and I breathed a sigh of relief. Why you ask? I had a chance to address something on the air that had been bothering me the entire weekend.  How could some people be using their social media platforms to wish everyone "A Happy Memorial Day"?

Ladies, a very important video has been uploaded to social media. I really think you need to stop whatever it is that you're currently doing and just...watch. I'm not kidding. If I know you and I think I do, I need you to pay attention. It's Luke flippin Bryan and it's like he's summoning you.

Social media can be a wonderful thing or it can be a way for people to express themselves under not so great of a light. I agree that social media use in children should be monitored but maybe this Ohio school went too far here.

I don't live the country star kind of life which means, I don't see one of these coming to my home any time soon. But to be able to do what Jon Rich is currently would be so cool! When you think of Nashville, what comes to mind?

I posed the question Wednesday on he GNA Facebook page: What's your favorite ice cream flavor? What happened next, I wasn't expecting. First of all, we got a ton of comments and when first reading through them, you can tell the diversity in tastes from person to person. There were so many different choices (35 to be exact!) and as I read off each one in my head, my mouth started to water just a li
