Tech and web news for the second week of October! Check out below the effects of social media and if you feel inspired, boost your own social media presence!

- Don’t you wish more things were Rubik’s Cubes? Consider your wish granted. [Instructables]
- The Reddit Invasion: An infographic that basically accumulates to, “man, why am I reading this blog when there’s so much stuff I could be reading on Reddit?” [The Next Web]
- We think this pretty much sums up the Netflix debacle. [Geek Culture]
- Dr. Pepper is under fire for their new possibly sexist campaign for Diet Dr. Pepper. I think we are all missing the real issue here: whatever happened to Pepsi Blue? That stuff was delicious. [Clickz]
- The Occupy Wall Street movement and the way it’s using social media. [Clean Tech]
- Replacing annoying captchas with annoying, but more readable advertisements. Genius? [Mashable]
- The Pirate Bay cofounder’s sentence is upheld – despite no one knowing where he is. We assume he is drinking rum on a beach with a pirate hat on (and yes, we should be made to walk the plank for corny jokes. Ba dum tsh). [The Next Web]
- Youtube Disco was axed after nobody used it. Are they really surprised social media users weren’t drawn to something with ‘Disco’ in the name? [Tech Crunch]
We wish our partners a safe and happy weekend!
