Facebook Facts & Figures

Feb­ru­ary 4th was Facebook’s 6th birth­day. Yes, believe it or not, the social net­work­ing titan and the most talked about web­site [actu­ally, the most talked about any­thing] in the world, is a measly 6 years old! I think that Har­vard dropout and boy genius Mark Zucker­berg as well as his room­mates do more than just […]

I orig­i­nally pub­lished this post on Feb. 12 — but I’ve updated it by adding another pic­ture of the famous Kul­ula info­graphic plane as well as a few more cheeky labels.

face­book = a place where friend­ships start and end, rela­tion­ships begin and shat­ter… a com­mu­nity where shar­ing is a must and […]

College in America

is col­lege really worth it? well, if you’ re going for a ‘nor­mal’ major (eng­lish lit., mass com., psy­chol­ogy, sci­ence, engi­neer­ing, busi­ness, law…) then yes! but if you’re plan­ning to take 5 or 6 years to grad­u­ate with a bachelor’s degree in bowl­ing indus­try man­age­ment, then i would take a good, hard look at onlineeducation’s […]
