Subway: Size Does Matter
Many women will tell you size does not matter but according to Matt Corby from Australia, he begs to differ. When you were promised a foot long sub and you are shy one inch, it does matter. Matt posted the photo on Subway’s Facebook page, accompanied by a simple request: “subway pls respond.” Are to to believe that after every 12 sandwiches that Subway is pocketing one sub? Seems like it. To be fair to Subway, you could easily squeeze the sub at both ends and make it an inch smaller. Just saying.
Size Matters: Social Media Sizing Cheat Sheet
There is order in the universe when it comes to sizing in social media sites. Here is The Ultimate Complete Final Social Media Sizing Cheat Sheet by Dan Wilkerson.
New Google + Not a Facebook Killer
Google is bending over backwards to catch Facebook and the Google + is really a Google minus. From Google Wave to the new Google +, they don’t seem to get it. Nobody likes an imitator. Go ask Myspace. It’s all about timing. I give Google +, a minus. Back to the drawing board.
There is widespread skepticism about Google’s ability to be successful in the online social networking space. In the past, they’ve made strong attempts with Orkut, Wave and Buzz but the overall results paled in comparison to the success of Twitter or Facebook. With Google +, users can create “circles” that allow them to segment their connections (i.e. friends, family, co-workers, etc. .), they can follow or create an area of shared interest called a “spark” (let’s say you’re into Thai cuisine or mixed martial arts or eating Thai cuisine while watching mixed martial arts), you can share your images or even create a live get together known as a “hangout,” and the integration between the Web and mobile experience looks seamless (with the one exception being that the iPhone app is not available yet).(source)
Facebook Status: It’s Complicated
Your Facebook status says a lot about yourself. It’s complicated for some and others not as murky as they want to lead you on. Facebook and other social networks are having a bigger impact on restaurant reservations each year. More people are hooking up because of Facebook. At the same time the opposite can be said also. Nobody wants to be left in the cold. Valentine’s Day is a big deal for some people and is the pinnacle for some relationships. Just was is your Facebook status? Just how does Facebook interchange with the Hallmark holiday?

The Fate Of Ken and Barbie Depends On Facebook
The fate of of Ken and Barbie’s relationship depends on 500 million Facebook users. Will they reunite after a seven year split? It will all come down to a Facebook vote. Their plastic lives depend on you. Since Valentine’s Day 2004, the couple were officially separated. You can bring back the super-couple together, or perhaps keep them apart.
Facebook is Seven Years Old
If you have not seen Social Network or are not on Facebook than you must be living in a cave. With over 500 million people on and most of them with over five profiles. Fess up. Let’s say 100 million, let’s not forget those who never went back on Facebook again because they can’t figure it out. We dwindled the number down to 50 million actual people. Not bad at all in seven years. Facebook is turning seven this February. Perhaps the Pandora box of the world. Marriages and relationships forever ruined because of our lustful narcissism. With all the good Facebook brings to the table our greed and selfishness has ruined many social and real relationships. Just how big of causalities has Facebook taken? Studies and therapy will determine that in the future. Seven is a lucky number, this is the year of Facebook. Let’s give ourselves a big round of applause for making fools of ourselves, from glorified boob shoots and clicking the LIKE button because we don’t have an original thought to share. Here is to another 7 years of mindless mush in the Matrix.
Egypt Linked Out From the Rest of the World
Is this the way of the future for governments to stifle their population by cutting them off from the rest of the world from the Internet. You will have to cross the desert if you want to hook up on to Facebook or Twitter. One of the oldest civilizations is about to get to meet the 21st century as technology is embedded deeply in that culture already. The voice of the people cannot be silenced as much as governments want to close the tap off.
What people are saying:
Egypt shuts internet, rounds up opposition leaders as protests start.
Egypt severs internet connection amid growing unrest.
Violence erupts in Egypt as crisis deepens.

The History of Social Networking
With so much dialogue and socializing you would figure as a society we would be better off. The social media has exploded in the past ten years or so and it seems we are not a better society. We have found new ways to pervert our vices on Facebook by displaying our vanity and stupidity at the cost of a brief second of Warhol fame. Where are we heading with this media that feeds on the ego that leaves you selfless at the end of many blank interactions of nothingness that feeds on driving revenue to billion industries that depend on banal communication.

Are We Too Obsessed With Facebook?
If you start and finish your day logging and logging off with Facebook, it’s a good chance that you are obsessed with Facebook. Many of us are finding it harder to pry our fingers from Facebook and our voyeuristic nature snooping on friends or perhaps even enemies. This obsession will have great studies in the future and a topic of concern for many living in worlds of their own void of actual social interaction.

43 Million People Became Single on Facebook in 2010
Here is a staggering statistic, 43 million people changed their status as single on Facebook in 2010. Either Facebook is not really a sociable tool, or it’s an online square dance of changing partners. Has Facebook changed how we interact socially? (silly question) Maybe it’s making it too easy to exchange partners or be deceptive about it. 43 million single people out there are looking to hook up and what better tool than Facebook to find another significant other. It’s going to be a good year for Valentines (Hallmark) and Facebook revenue.
