Facebook Granted Patent on the News Feed - This... →
The reason I think the newsfeed is so popular? People are so overwhelmed with information now, they just want to be informed of the latest and greatest, no emails sitting unread that you have to click on one by one, just a constant stream of “I can reply if I’m interested, otherwise, no big deal.” I wish my corporate email inbox worked that way.

American Idol
I have to admit, I’m an American Idol junkie. Not just the episodes that are funny because people suck so bad, but also the ones that are on now, where you see some talented people start to shine. A couple of these people start singing and I literally get goosebumps. I love seeing the true artist come out in people you’ve never heard or seen before.
Kids Don't Blog Anymore? Maybe They Never Did →
I’m considering moving my own blog erikankrom.com to Tumblr instead. I agree that we are all drowning in communication tools, so the easiest thing to drop is what takes the longest.
