Guess What Arrived!
I got a box. Here's the live (on tape...with a little editing) unboxing and reveal of my new headphones. You may want to sit down for this -- the excitement may make you light headed.
Industry Note
I sent out a blog article on Sunday that everyone should read if you count on Facebook for engagement and interaction with your fans. There is something you need to know about how Facebook gives "weight" to your posts. Read the article here.
Coming tomorrow: Techniques to "mind read" your audience! Good stuff.
ARRRRRRGH!
Two guys that haven't even attended their 10-year high school reunion are billionaires. What did they invent? An app called Instagram.
Like Kelly Brook, Mandy Moore, and Jessica Alba, you probably have it on your smart phone. It's a photo sharing app that allows its 27-million users to alter and post images. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, was so impressed that he bought the company for a billion dollars. The co-founders, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger, are 26-years old.
Billionaires with a full head of hair. "That's not right," say all men.
Might as well face, you're addicted to...
Facebook addiction -- is it real? University of Gothenburg researchers say that 70% of people who use Facebook, log in as soon as they turn on their PC's -- which can develop into an 'addiction'. They also discovered that the poor and less educated spend more time on Facebook, and women are generally more active than men.
The good news is all the good news that is shared. Users mostly share content about positive events, with only 38% sharing negative emotions.
How we use Facebook:
The average user spends 75 minutes per day on Facebook
The average user logs on to Facebook 6.1 times per day
70% log in every time they start their computer or web reader
26% feel ill at ease if they do not get to log in regularly
Women spend on average 81 minutes per day on Facebook
Men spend on average 64 minutes per day on Facebook
Phones/Facebook: Have you ever worried that you may actually be addicted to Facebook? What was the first sign?
Things Guys Should Never Tell Their Girlfriends
This was written by a woman who thinks men don't think when it comes to sharing their thought with their girlfriend. Here are a few examples of things guys should NEVER share with their girlfriend:
- "You're not the prettiest girl I've dated."
- "You look like my ex."
- "You'd look better if [insert physical characteristic here]."
- "That waitress/chick at the bar is hot!"
- "My mom thinks you should [insert behavior change here]."
- "Your sister is a (insert nasty word here)"
- "Wow, you're a lot like your Mom."
- "We should go on a diet."
- "You're being too emotional."
- "There's no way that small shirt is gonna fit you."
- "You're overreacting."
- "Is it 'that time of the month'?"
- "You look really different in the mornings."
- "It's a guy thing. You wouldn't understand."

Phones/Facebook: what did they miss?
Blossom's weird...
Where do you draw the line on breast-feeding your child? Six months? A year? 18-months? How about 3 1/2 years and counting? That's the Mayim Bialik method! She's the actress that played Blossom in the 80's, and currently plays Amy Farrah on The Big Bang Theory.
She's written a parenting book called "Beyond the Sling: A Real-Life Guide to Raising Confident Loving Children The Attachment Parenting Way."
Her parenting style boils down to, well, nothing...
- No diapers
- no baby soap
- no toys
'When we treat our children kindly and expect love and give love, we hopefully are raising children that then expect that and give that to the world around them.
'It is very consistent with a 'green' style of parenting.'
Phones/Facebook: Breast feeding at 3 1/2 years . Something you would do?
This Blows me Away!
One of the most famous airports in the world, Princess Juliana International Airport, sits just feet away from a Maho Beach, where people swim, tan, and hold on for dear life from jet wash. Jet wash is the force from a jet engine blowing across the beach. Some stand way back and watch, others stand up close and grip the fence. Here's why you should probably stand back and watch.

Joke of the Day
The farmer met his uncle at the railroad station. “Uncle, I’m mighty glad to see you, he greeted. “That crate of chickens you sent me bust open just as I was going to take ‘em out and they ran all over the place. I chase ‘em through my neighbor’s yard and only got back eleven.”
“You did okay,” said uncle. “I only sent you six.”
