Email me this Fall. I go to CU.
Thriller
Prosecutor: So, you don't think Michael Jackson is guilty?
Dave Chappelle: No, man. He made "Thriller".
Dave Chappelle: Thriller.
Go South Africa

Let’s go RSA!

Why Does Facebook Want To Be Twitter?
They each serve two different and distinct purposes on the Internet. So why does Facebook feel the need to be like Twitter?
Twitter is simple, anyone can see your short updates unless you choose to lock your profile, then only approved friends can see your short updates. Twitter added features as its users implemented them themselves. The @username form of communication, started by the users, as...
