Hope someone pantsed the buzzkill lawyer who ruined this Facebook post

Infographic: Social Media in China

I love good infographics. And I have a white-hot loathing for ones that are poorly done*.

This is a great one.

It's full of interesting info about social media in China. (E.g. "91% of the online population in China has an account on a social media site, as compared to 67% in the USA.") And it's presented in a way that's inviting and easy to read.

It was compiled and designed by Go-Globe.com

First-ever game show for cats is cat-tastic

If you like cats — and/or are interested in seeing a great social media campaign — you should follow Friskies on Facebook.

Right now, they're posting links for 1-minute episodes of the first-ever game show for cats. It's called Will Kitty Play With It? And it's a riot.

Aw, c'mon, do you really need to be told not to do this?

Arkansas State Senator Jason Rapert couldn't seem to say RAPE enough times on his Twitter page. Once the Internet pointed out to him that this was a bad idea, he wisely changed his Twitter page background to this.

Quick-thinking — and classy — response from Marco Rubio

As a Liberal, it pains me to give the other side credit for anything. But this is a genuinely great idea.

If you want to buy one of these water bottles, you'll have to google your way to where they're sold. My hair would automatically catch fire if I published the link.    ; )

Social media just bit Arby's in the ass

More specifically, it was comedian Patton Oswalt.
