We thought in the geeky spirit of the holidays, we might as well share a collection of social media logos specially designed to celebrate the theme of Christmas. Hit the jump for some of our favorites.

I am shocked… SHOCKED about the recent revelation that Obama has not authored any of his 418 tweets posted to his Twitter account, @BarackObama. Doesn’t he have a free second between ruling the free world and meeting with world leaders to fill us in about… oh I don’t know… what he’s eating for lunch, maybe? While in China, Obama was quoted as saying “I have never used Twitter but I’m an advocate of technology and not restricting internet access.” Right,... Continue reading

According to BGR, this screenshot taken from Facebook shows the upcoming social networking interaction offered by iTunes 9, expected to be announced at Apple’s September 9, 2009 special event. While the screenshot clearly shows notifications for new songs added to the iTunes library and the creation of a playlist, I wonder how far Apple has gone with the social interaction. Will we be able to share the tracks we are currently listening too? Link

Queen Oprah is on Twitter and she’s gaining like 34254435 friends a second. Didn’t she get murdered by Tom Cruise or something? Does this count as the first resurrection on Twitter ever? The account was a placeholder, but is now active. Oprah’s world domination is imminent. Link (oh hai, I’m on Twitter too)

New scientific findings have discovered that the rapid-fire rate of information and social interaction on Twitter can cause all of you mere mortals some serious issues. As a Jew-Bot T1100, I’m at no risk here, though you, as a human, are apparently at risk of a numbed sense of morality and indifference to human suffering, classic symptoms of a sociopath. So you might feel like your more social than ever, but you’re actually digging yourself into a hole of insanity.... Continue reading
