Justin Stays in the Network Frame of Mind
Justin Timberlake held on tightly to his script yesterday as he arrived for another afternoon on the LA set of The Social Network. He came in a fedora and a plaid shirt, but it didn't take long before he was suited up to get into character as one of Facebook's founders. JT's stay in California has allowed him to have some quality time with Jessica Biel, even though she spent her Friday partying without him.
Do You Use Social Media to Contact Companies?
I just finished reading an article about a US couple who, because of visa problems, nearly missed their Russian honeymoon. They thought they'd done their research; online travel agency Expedia assured the couple that they didn't need visas to travel to St. Petersburg.
Justin Makes His Way Back on the Social Scene
Justin Timberlake took a stroll around the LA set of The Social Network yesterday. He had a moment of solitude on his walk back towards his trailer, which was a change from his super social weekend with Jessica Biel. Justin and Jessica are going through some stuff in their relationship, but at least she's back in California after being away in Vancouver filming The A-Team.
Status Update: Justin Is on the Set of The Social Network
Justin Timberlake brought Jessica Biel along for last night's star-studded Jay-Z concert, but today he was up bright and early to report to the LA set of The Social Network. Production on the film was underway last week in Maryland, but shooting has switched over to the West Coast for now.

How Many Social Networks Do You Belong To?
I may have breathed an audible sigh of relief when I heard that Google was launching Google Profiles, a hub for all your social networks.
Over the years, I've signed up for about 800 social networks (a rough estimate), have only consciously deleted one profile, and am only using an amount I can count on my hands at any given moment.
I'd love to claim that the high number of networks I belong to is purely an occupational hazard, but I tend to get excited about new networks regardless — there's always some cool new angle.
