**Despite Denials, More Facebook Phone Rumors Surface:**
The following link will take you too an article about rumors surrounding Facebook working with mobile handset manufacturer INQ to create a Facebook mobile phone. They way it would work is that when someone creates a Facebook account on an INQ handset, it will automatically set up a connection with Facebook. They have multiple phones set up. One will feature a keyboard while the other features an on-screen keyboard using touch screen technology. I found this interesting because social networks seem to be a major part of our society these days. It makes perfect sense that they would want to branch out into other areas. I have not hear of any other social network attempting to do this. Just like Ruckus Media Group, they would be way ahead of the competition if they could pull this off.

media type="youtube" key="dX3ws6OnGuE?fs=1" height="385" width="480" Although must of us in have already seen this silly video from JMS 412, I found it relevant to this class because of how hilariously accurate this clip is on just how obsessed our society has become with our cell phones. From deciphering text lingo, to "flirtxting" and "booty-texting," our generation has become so dependent on our cell phones and using texting as a way to text your way to love, or even break-up with a partner...Because after all, no one answers their goddamn phones anymore right?
