I knew there was something to this social network thing I participate in. Elizabeth Landau of CNN wrote an article called Happiness is contagious in social networks. It essentially states that someone who is happy in a social network makes others happy. And a happy face in a Facebook profile picture attracts other smiling friends to that person. According to the following video, your health is also affected positively by the gift of happiness.
I was concerned that I may need to unfriend my Facebook and Twitter friends with profile pictures that don’t smile, but apparently I just have to make sure I have an exponentionally higher number of happy people to bring my own joy meter up. Anyways, it’s time to spread some cheer. So, are you smiling in your profile picture?
