Each day, Mashable highlights one noteworthy YouTube video. Check out all our viral video picks. Sloan Churman was born deaf. For 29 years, she has relied on reading lips and, to a very limited extent, hearing aids. Two months ago, she received Envoy Medical’s Esteem Implant, which …

What a rainy, dark day we’re having. I kind of like being inside all toasty and warm, wrapped in in a sweater and working away on my laptop.
Last night I surprised Jason with homemade soup (with…
Prepare Yourselves: Facebook To Be Profoundly... →
Facebook is driven by a single, unique goal. Its priority isn’t to gain more users (it already has 750 million of those), nor does it feel compelled to find stupid ways to increase pageviews. Its primary goal right now isn’t to increase revenue, either — that will come later. No, Facebook’s g…
terrrrrrancetomlinson asked: I would like to thank you for everything you're doing for us. It means a lot to me that you notice everything that's going on & you're taking the time to help us out with it. You don't need to, but you choose to. I really appreciate and I'm really thankful for it. My friends are getting hurt and I don't like seeing people down. I'm the kind of person who...

faussemisere asked: I'm sorry about your losses and your brother. I strongly agree that words hurt. I agree that we shouldn't say hateful things. I will make a post and hopefully it will calm down anyone that is still angry about this situation. I'm sorry you got involved in this because it should have never happened, but in the end you spread a great message about bullying. Thank you for...
Let’s Talk About Bullying – Ustream today →
Hi All,
Wanted to let you know that I’m doing a Ustream today and I want YOU to be involved. This is to start talks on what we can do to stop the Online Bullying that has been increasing at a…
faussemisere asked: I'm sorry about anything said about you. I was wrong to write these things based on what I was told. I think everyone was still frustrating over the night on twitter, but now we all agree that it's time to move on. Again, sincere apologies about what I said. I understand words can hurt. I've seen people suffered/die around me because of bullying. I know it should never happen, but...
faussemisere asked: Obviously this whole thing got out of hand, but the best we can do is to go on with our lives and forget about this. We all feel sorry in a way, because it made everyone look bad. None of us wanted to get in a fight like that. Again, if you do or say something you have to deal with the consequences. I agree with you about the bullying part, but I assure you that none of us did this.

You Mean Everything to Me: In regards to... →
Amanda,
Thank you for the nice comment and I’m sorry that you’ve been on the receiving end of bullies.
To clarify on your other point where you think I’m biased and condoning the negativity posted online.
I prefaced my whole chat by saying I was not naming any names or singling anyone out. Kayla kept posting that I was biased and condoning what the young girl said and that...
I never was asleep, but I always had a dream ♥:... →
Ladies,
My chat today was about bullying online and how no one should do it or have to deal with it. I prefaced the whole chat by saying that this was not about anyone in particular and that I was not taking sides. I said I would be using some recent examples that I had seen to show that it was wrong and used examples from my own experience and life to get the point across that bullying is...

Can you believe it’s Labour Day weekend already? It’s kind of bittersweet, the end of summer. It has been a pretty busy and fun summer and I’m going to miss it, but I’m really looking forward to…
