We manage pretty well in our data-saturated lives. But sometimes it’s beneficial to take a step back and look at how much information you’re actually processing within a 24 hour period. This informative clip from GOOD‘s blog does just that, and leaves us with just one question: Is all this data necessarily a bad thing? More

Following are just ten important life lessons I’ve had the distinct displeasure of learning from annoying people around the world (plus tips on how not to be one). So, thank you, annoying people, for schooling me and making me a better person, who hopefully acts nothing like you.
1. The person who cuts in front of you in line will never learn not to. But call them on it anyway.
2. People love to talk about TV shows. So even if you “don’t own a TV” (sure, you don’t), watch a couple of shows on Hulu. Work and party conversations will make much more sense.
3. It really is so much easier not to be rude, ever. The representative on the other end of the phone isn’t personally responsible for your credit card fees, so don’t launch an angry tirade against him or her. And maybe you should be better about money, anyway. More

Poor baby, you’re sick! You worked yourself to the bone, caught a cold, and you just cannot bear the thought of staring at a bright screen all day while blowing your nose repeatedly. The old standard was that the next steps would be phoning the office to say you can’t come in. Then email became acceptable as an alternate method. But now, what’s that we hear? In your weakened state, you’ve been considering tweeting it in?? Lemondrop asked a few experts if using Twitter to call in sick to work is ever OK — and the response was mixed.

Hey, want to see a TwitPic of a placenta?
Kidding! Sorry. We’re just hung up on / mortified by the rising number of women who feel compelled to live-blog, live-stream and tweet the gory details of birthing their children, blurring ever finer the line between TMI and straight-up Facebook-feed terrorism.
Why do women do this? Fi Star-Stone, a 34-year-old British mom, says she kept her followers updated on the progress of her pain-med-free home birth to “dispel myths of childbirth.” Since most of her tweets were along the lines of “Holy hell, this hurts a LOT,” we’re not too clear on which myths those were, aside from maybe the one that being in labor makes you incapable of typing, which we’d never heard before until we made it up just now.

Twitter can enable chronic “over-sharers” to reveal intimate details of their personal lives to relative strangers. Since we know you don’t care about the condition of our hair (dry) or how long it took us to get to work today (too long), we promise to only use our Twitter feed for good.
