A Sad Facebook Story

I recently read a rather sad article about a woman named Shana Greatman Swers who posted just about everything on her Facebook. Which sounds a bit odd, but I can assure you that it's worth reading.

When Shana and her husband Jeff found out they were going to have a baby she posted over the next eight months the joys of pregnancy.  Even during some of her scariest moments, she still posted about her health and medical conditions on her Facebook.  In this article you will see a story line of her most popular posts. I highly recommend that you read them, it's a very moving story.

What Childhood Cartoon are you?

Recently on Facebook you might of noticed that some of your friends changed their profile pictures to a familiar cartoon, along with this message as their status...

"Change your FB profile picture to a cartoon from your childhood. The goal? To not see a human face on FB till Monday, December 6th. Join the fight against child abuse! Copy and paste to your status to invite your friends"

So, now that you've learned why your friends have been changing their profile pictures, are you going to change yours and help join the fight against child abuse?  I did, my profile picture is currently a picture of Angelica from my favorite Nickelodeon show, Rugrats.  What childhood cartoon character would you be? 

Here is an interesting article I just found, by ABC News discussing the Facebook Viral Fad's. This weekend's Profile Picture changes is discussed as well as some other viral changes that have occurred in the past.

For example some of you may remember the Breast Cancer Awareness Fad last year when women were putting their bra color as their status or this year's changing your status to wear you put your purse "I like it on the..." or even Doppelganger Week.  Any of these Facebook fad's sound familiar...well this week's fad is to help join the fight against child abuse. Will you?

Below are pictures of popular TV shows from our childhood. Look Familiar?
