Facebook begins crack down on spam websites On Wednesday, Facebook announced plans to start cracking down on links to "low-quality" web pages as part of the company's plan to show people "fewer misleading posts, and more informative posts." Facebook is starting with the ratio of ads to actual content; a page with too many ads and not enough original text or images is considered spam. If a site's ads are "disruptive, shocking, or malicious," Facebook will make sure fewer people can see and click on it. The company continues to explain that the links aren't being banned; if you post one it will still appear on your wall but their news feed ranking will drop and they will be seen by far fewer people if anyone at all. The changes will happen over the next few months, and Facebook says it could mean a boost in traffic for publishers that produce quality content.

See what happened when a woman accidentally went on a date with a 97-year-old man she met on a dating site When you talk about disaster dates, this lady's experience has got to make it to the top of the list. Priya-Alika Elias, who goes by @Priya_ebooks on Twitter, has shared what happened after she went on a date with a guy she met on a dating site, and it's a really interesting tale. She revealed that she met the man on OKCupid and began chatting with him. He had an interesting profile and was really engaging. He was also well travelled and loved books, just like her,  so she decided to meet up, only to discover that he was a really old, wrinkled man. Turns out, he never revealed his age in his profile. The way Priya recounted the tale is so hilarious. See screenshots below.
