That article seems to strongly imply that social media is a factor in your credit score but never actually proves it. After meandering on a story about targeted marketing via social media we get back to a history of credit scores yet no connection is ever made. At best its thesis seems to be "these things are similar!" yet the headline and the intro is very misleading. Guilt by association is not a fair argument. FICO using social media as a factor in its score would be extremely interesting were it true.
