How do you follow your favorite celebrities? The paparazzi rags – stuffed to the brim with naughty candid shots of Britney Spears eating pork rinds in her front room – are more about spying on stars than connecting with them. We all know about the power of celebs on Twitter. But your never-ending news feeds swallow up individual stories and lessen the impact of sharing. One website is making it easier than ever to get closer to real stars’ real lives… it’s called WhoSay, and you’re about to discover it!

A great way to describe our latest Weekly Fave, Cowbird, is Twitter for the soul – or in slightly less lyrical terms, the complete opposite of Twitter’s endless rush of instant, throwaway one-liners. Cowbird is a never ending web of online storytellers, linked almost magically by the subjects of their stories: the people, places and themes they evoke. It’s thoughtful, visual, engrossing: a modern day diary for the online generation.

And that’s basically it!

Here’s a question for you: How many of your ‘friends’ on Facebook would you actually consider to be your friend? (Answers in the comments box below!) If you’re like me and shuffled uncomfortably in your seat when trying to answer that question, you’ve probably also wondered this: Do you really want to be sharing the photos from your vacation, your baby’s birthday or your latest night out with all 800 of your Facebook acquaintances and that guy, Bob, who you met at the 2009 office Christmas party and hastily added as a friend only to perpetually ignore him ever since…

The rise of the internet has coincided with a rise in voter apathy, especially among youth populations all over the world. But as we have seen over the past couple of years, when such youth get worked up about something online, and spread their feelings over social media like Facebook and Twitter, today’s youth can wield more power than it ever has before. The internet has the power to enhance democracy dramatically, and Votizen, funded by, among others, Sean Parker (one of Facebook’s early investors), is ready to harness its power just in time for the 2o12 Presidential Elections.

Well with Mulu, you can take some of that money back by creating an account and acting as an endorser of products you like. Every time someone takes up your recommendation, clicks on your link and buys that product, you share a small percentage of the profit from that sale with Mulu (a product on Amazon can make you between 4 and 8 per cent, depending on what it is!)
