The hosts of the show Bob Liddle and Gary Davis do it again. This time the extra star is Kanye West who provides entertainment for their show in his own way.

The Facebook Five. Yes, there is a group called the Facebook Five, prison guards who are in trouble for “unauthorized” cyber exchanges about their superiors. You have to be wary of the Facebook Five.

TGI Friday’s Give them credit. They did a Social Media campaign with “Woody” to give a way burgers, unfortunately it took off a little more than they thought it would. Oh well. TGIF’s scrambled and is playing catch up, watch to learn more.

Facebook by the numbers. Startling facts. 6 billion minutes spent on Facebook each day. 14 million videos uploaded each month. 45 million active groups each month including. http://www.new.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=124680542080&ref=ts

Twitter traffic tripled during VMA awards. Thanks #ijustine for that.

Brian Solis, is the Social media guru of the week. Author of “Putting the Public back in Public Relations” and “Now is Gone” Now is Gone talks about how businesses learn how to engage Social Media.

Three people to follow on Twitter. AplusK or Ashton Kutcher – he is great and John McCain and Barak Obama. All good stuff.

Meme of the week. is Kanye West. O Boy. We interrupt this Press Release to tell you that Beyonce’s video was the best ever. The World Wide Web is letting Kanye have it. Listen to learn more.

Video of the week is what if Facebook was in real life. How would it be. A truly funny look at how that would be.

    The video was interesting, and the items that many people are devoting a huge amount of time to is startling. There is definitely a tremendous variation in what different generations of people feel is important and worth their time and attention.

    I like all of the Facebook information. This article has enlightened me as to what Twitter is, too.

  15. Mallory says:

    I had no idea that TGIF’s got so much attention from that commercial! I’ve seen it several times and am an avid Facebooker, but I did not become “Woody’s” fan. Obviously, I missed an opportunity.
    Thanks for the update!

  16. Kanye, sadly is not entertainment in a good form. He’s an example of what has gone wrong in the world of Hollywood, where manners are a thing of the past.

  17. Hanna says:

    Your video demonstrates the power of social media use. Not only can it be used for entertainment but it has great potential for personal profit.

    I think this is great. I just couldn’t stop watching!

  19. Vinny says:

    The power of social networking is crazy – I’m sure Kanye never would have expected the response he got over facebook, twitter, et al.

    I am glad that people are still bashing ‘mr’ west for his outburst.

    Beyonce’s video was not the best, sorry.

  24. Cissy Granstaff says:

    Amusing and interesting. Kept my attention!

  25. Brittany says:

    I’m almost completely positive that Kanye West does the things he does just for the response he gets on all the social networking sites, although he may act like it I don’t think hes stupid. He knows that people talking about you keeps you a celebrity(especially when your music stinks)

  26. Katie says:
