Kate Middleton Mix-Up: Facebook Deletes Boston Woman's Account

CONCORD, Mass. -- Yes, she really is Kate Middleton. Kate Middleton, the Boston bicycle enthusiast, that is. But that hasn't stopped the 32-year-old from being confused with the woman who is about to marry Prince William. Recently, Facebook accused the Boston Middleton of being an impostor and deleted her account. Various media reporters also keep showing up at ATA Cycle, a Concord, Mass. bicycling shop where she works, and asking her to speak in a British accent. "I'm really not interested in pretending I'm British," said Middleton, who is originally from Louisville, Ky. "And I'm ...

Franklin Graham: Look for Christ's 2nd Coming on Facebook, Twitter

The Rev. Franklin Graham says he knows what could be the ultimate trending topic on Twitter: the second coming of Christ. Graham, son of the prominent and politically connected Christian evangelist Billy Graham, gave an Easter prophecy of his own on Sunday, telling ABC's "This Week" host Christiane Amanpour that social media could be the way in which Jesus Christ's second coming could be revealed to the world. "The Bible says that every eye is going to see [the Second Coming]," Graham said. "How is the whole world going to see [Jesus Christ] all at one time? I don't know, unless all of a ...

Young People Using Social Media for More Than Just Socializing

WASHINGTON -- Young people use social media like Facebook and Twitter for more than simply staying in touch with their friends; they're also a means to make school and career connections, according to an Associated Press-Viacom poll.

Mom on Facebook Sentenced in Son's Drowning Death

GREELEY, Colo. -- A northern Colorado woman who was playing a game on Facebook while her 13-month-old baby drowned in a bathtub was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison.
