Teaching Facebook
Social media websites like Facebook are no longer just a way for students to interact with classmates after class. Several businesses have now signed-up, logged in and are discovering ways to increase their audience all with a few strokes of a keyboard or clicks of the mouse. A new website created by two Fayetteville residents is offering tutorials for businesses new to the site.

Sunday mornings are tend to be peaceful across America as people of faith congregate in temples, churches and mosques to chant, pray, sing and reflect. But one religious community stands apart--because they worship mostly in silence. Jacqueline Froelich attends a local Quaker meeting and brings us their story.
