Social media influences Utah wedding photos
Evan Fiala stood on the granite steps of the Salt Lake Temple and straightened his tie while his new wife, Sarah, adjusted her wedding dress. A photographer stood nearby and gave directions, her camera pointed fixedly at the newlyweds. The Fialas were used to posing for pictures — they spent three days with a professional photographer in the summer of 2015.

Facebook fiasco
In the newsroom last week, we made an incredible discovery that caused major pandemonium. We thought that we found a way to actually find out who our top viewers were on Facebook amongst our friends. As everyone searched their results to find out which friends were “stalking” them, people started regretting that they had sought out this information. “Why is he my second top viewer?” “Oh my word, this makes sense.” Knowing who watched us became uneasy information, but also a compelling force to know our 'Facebook stalkers.'

Blog: Christmas shopping on Pinterest?
With the weather turning cooler and students staying inside more often, Pinterest is becoming the time passer of choice by many BYU students. Pinterest is the third most popular social media site in the United States, only behind Twitter and Facebook. This start-up company from California is only two years old- but is maturing quickly.

The future of Facebook
Once a rising star, Facebook's future may be dim. The social networking site made a disappointing debut on the Nasdaq in May. New social media sites are building notoriety, potentially stealing away current Facebook users. Looking through the telescope, Facebook may no longer be a shooting star.

However, Pinterest is proving itself as an incredibly impactful tool for marketing. The site is driving more traffic to company websites than YouTube, Google+, and LinkedIn combined, according to a recent study by Shareaholic.
