12 reasons people actually ‘like’ your Facebook updates

Image
Here are a few kinds of Facebook likes: 1. The Obligation Like You liked my baby/cat/dinner picture so I am returning the favour by liking yours. 2. The Duty Like You dutifully like everything your close friends and family post. 3. The Tactical Like You want them to like your stuff back. 4. The Look At Me Like You want to remind them of your existence.  ‘We’ve been friends on here for five years yet no likes, comments, nothing.  We worked together for three weeks, eight years ago for goodness   sake – does that mean nothing to you?’ 5. The Sympathy Like A like given out of kindness when someone posts a really bad selfie. 6. The Try To Look Clever Like Liking a highbrow article without reading it to make you look clever. 7. The Try To Look Cool Like Liking a song someone is listening to in an attempt to look cool (when really you have no idea who ‘Autobahn’ are). 8. The Support Like You like the Feline Fridge Magnets page

Teenager updates Facebook status to 'full-time killer' after disabled man he attacked dies from brain haemorrhage

A VIOLENT teenager who updated his Facebook status to 'full-time killer' after a disabled man he attacked dies of a brain haemorrhage has been spared jail. Scott Hall, 28, was punched in the face by the teen and his accomplice, also 15, then kicked as he lay unconscious on the pavement. Mr Hall died 11 days after the unprovoked attack following a brain haemorrhage. The brutal attack could not be linked directly to the bleed in the brain which killed Mr Hall, who suffered from a rare brain disorder which affected his balance. So despite the boy's sick boast about being a killer, he was charged with assault causing actual bodily harm. Scott's family spoke of their devastation at his death as both teen attackers walked free with community sentences. Known as a referral orders, they are handed to juveniles who admit their crimes. The paid were also ordered to pay £1,000 compensation, which Mr Hall's family pledged to gie to the charities he supported.
