Social Community Comments
Social Communities aren #39;t communities at all without community comments. And social networking isn #39;t social without community comments, either.

A parody video from Above Average shows social networking taken to the extreme. On Jynx, you only see posts from friends who share the same opinions as you.
Sick of all those political posts from crazy uncle John, or the overly religions ones from Aunt Irma? A new fake social network called Jynx connects you only with those whose opinions you agree with, in this parody video from the Above Average comedy network.
On Jynx, users would only see posts from friends who share their opinions on religion, politics, social issues and entertainment.
"With Jynx, you won't see any more updates from your slightly racist uncle," Jynx's creator says in the announcement video. "Unless you're slightly racist, in which case, that's all you'll see." Every time you share the exact same status as a like-minded friend, your Jynx score goes up letting everyone know how popular your opinions are no matter whether they're right or wrong.
Jynx promises a world where people can go an entire day without seeing a single social-media post they disagree with. That probably already happens anyway, given that you can mute people on Facebook and Twitter, or unfriend and unfollow those who you continually disagree with, but it's nice to see a fake social network trying to do that hard work for us.

Jynx: A social network that nixes everyone you disagree with
London, UK (PRWEB) January 27, 2015
Social Networks are quickly becoming a daily fixture in teens and childrens lives. For parents who may not be as technologically literate as their children, thinking of ways for their loved ones to stay safe on social networks can be daunting and confusing. In a series of helpful guides in focus this week, NoBullying explains the tried and tested ways of protecting children on social networking sites.
Social networks may be a great way of connecting with friends, classmates or neighbors who share the same interests and passions, but with the anonymity factor and the presence of ill-meaning folks online can make social networks any parents worst nightmare.
In this series of articles, NoBullying lists the top 10 social networking sites that minors and youth frequent as well potential dangers found on each of these social networks. The articles also show the top ways children and teens can use these networks safely.
The guides also explain some of the common dangers found on these networks such as cyberbullying, Facebook stalking, trolling as well as the correct way to use or disable geotagging photos uploaded to any social network.
Geotagging is basically a technology that allows users to link a photograph, video, website or SMS message to one or more of several types of geospatial data. This data usually consists of latitudinal/longitudinal coordinates, but also include altitude, bearing, distance, accuracy data, and even place names. Basically, Geotagging enables users to gain access to location related information of a given picture or other media. This means that when a teen posts a geotagged photo of themselves with friends at a local diner, online sexual predators for example can easily deduce where that person is and establish their patterns, making them more accessible for abduction, kidnapping or even grooming them for future exploitation.
NoBullying recommends that parents start open lines of communication with their children about the proper use and safety measures on social network sites as well as explore the potential of installing a cell phone tracker on their childrens cell phones.
A GPS cell phone tracker will basically allow the parent to monitor wherever the child happens to go while the cell phone is on their person. Another viable option is installing a cell phone number tracker which will virtually only allow the parent to track the phone numbers that their child is corresponding with or an activity cell phone tracker which will allow the parent to track all of the activity that goes on with their childs phone, from pictures and apps, to texts and calls and most importantly, location.
Ciaran Connolly, Co Founder of NoBullying says, It is not just cyber bullying that happens on social networks, some children and teens can be subjected to other equally dangerous activities online.
He added that parents and teachers should make a point to educate the younger generations about the sad outcome of neglecting online safety and photos safety. According to Connolly, it is quite imperative to press for more firm laws condemning all acts of bullying and harassment.
