Why google+ just might put up a fight

Right now mainstream social media IS facebook and twitter. sure there are tons of other services out there with a sizable user base, but your grandpa hasn't heard of them. This is what gives G+ a chance, it already has the name awareness. while people don't really associate google with any sort of friend activity (which isn't to say they shouldn't, there is picasa, buzz, gmail, etc) that could change if google really makes an effort with this initiative coughgooglebuzzcough.

The good news for google is people have really been waiting for a facebook alternative. With all the privacy concerns and farmville nonsense facebook has lost what made it great: it was THE place to share and interact with friends. Now its become the thing you begrudgingly rely on because, lets face it, its the only service ALL your friends use.

This is what google needs to worry about: getting everybody* on board. If that happens, and G+ develops the mobile presence facebook has, people will get on board quick. and people are excited, with invites FOR SALE on ebay. people are paying to use a beta social service even though they probably don't have many friends on it yet...


Its your move google. promote G+ enough and you'll have a winner on your hands. neglect it and swallow another loss in the social sphere...

I am eternally frustrated by people who cannot grasp the difference between stick and branch!

I'm back

Haven't updated here in quite a bit so hopefully these new updates are a pleasant surprise to some :D

Bananas

Bananas are convenient with that whole wrapper/peel thing, but I've found it isn't used to its full potential. Could it be tied shut if you only ate half the banana and wanted to save the rest for later? Have monkeys (who are much more banana-savy than us humans) figured this out already? Will bananas ever evolve a ziplock peel?

I DEMAND BANANSWERS!!!!

Coolest cereals

These are the top 5 coolest cereals. Not the best cereals, just the coolest!

1. Trix - bright colorful balls of sugar? This is what cereal is all about!!!

2. Honey Smacks - every time I look at this stuff it just looks like typical health cereal garbage. Its cool because its like the ninja of cereals.

3. Captain Crunch w/ crunchberries -pure crunchberries? Too sugary for responsible parents to buy. Regular captain crunch? LAME! mix the two together and you get the cereal that's juuuust right!

4. Rice/Corn Chex - one of the few cereals that serve as an excuse to dump sugar into a bowl of milk. Bonus points for the sugar-milk absorbing design. Super bonus points for being a snack mix also! Now if they would just ditch that wheat chex shit...

5. Apple Cinnamon Cheerios - simply for the fact that the leftover milk is the drink of gods. Seriously that stuff is the best liquid ever!!!!
