          Facebook Will Have 1 Billion Users by August

          Jan 12, 2012

          No, that's not a typo.  One BILLION users.  If you're wondering how big that really is, let's put it this way:  If Facebook were a country, it would be the third-largest in the world, just behind China and India.  Next in line would be the United States, with just over 300 million.  No, that's not a typo, either.  Facebook has 3 times as many users as the U.S. has PEOPLE.  Pretty impressive considering that less than a decade ago you couldn't even join unless you had a Harvard email account.  Now, the social media site has branched out from college kids to teens, grandparents, and everyone in between.

          So, what do you think about all this?  Is it an impressive accomplishment?  What about the impact of Facebook on society?  Positive or negative?  Why?

          Playoffs, Anyone?

          Jan 10, 2012

          Last night's BCS Championship game received the lowest viewer rating since the beginning of the BCS era, which isn't surprising.  It matched up two teams from the same conference who'd already played each other once (in another snoozer back in November), there wasn't much controversy to speak of, and the game itself was pretty brutal to watch.  So once again, the big question surfaces: Should there be a playoff?  The President thinks so.  Many college coaches have admitted they do, too.  Even a solid majority of the players, who, by the way, get some pretty great perks for playing in those bowl games, say they'd like to see a playoff.  And what about the fans?  In a poll taken 5 years ago, a whopping 85% say they'd love to see some sort of change.  Can't imagine what those numbers would look like after last night.

          What do you think?  More competition, or tradition?
