Should we do an audiobook?

Pros: more money, crazy sound f/x, chance to win a presitigious Grammy for Spoken Non-Fiction In a Humorous or Otherwise Light-Hearted Vein

Cons: you should "hear" the book in your own voice, our voices will get hoarse

Neutral: no effect on the price of oil

Big News

So some random hater named Ben Mezrich is writing some sort of crazy book accusing the Zuck of founding Facebook just to get girls. Yeah, ok, Ben Mezrich, it's pretty obvious you know less than crap about genius.

Did it ever occur to you that when Michelangelo was painting all those hot naked babes in the Sistine Chapel he was probably dipping his brush in the oil on the side? It's a well known fact that Marcel Proust only wrote his books to score Parisian chicks, and if his books had been any good he might have succeeded.

Besides, Gentle Ben, what of it if Zuck and co did want a little amorous remuneration for their hard work and brilliant efforts? Sex is still the noblest reason a social networking website was ever created. The following are the startup stories of several Facebook also-rans:

Friendster: Founded to offset a massive gambling debt inccurred by betting on Gary Hart in '84
LinkedIn: Founded to research cheap and effective ways to market cigarettes to teenagers
Classmates.com: Founded to supply coded messages to Enron executives, messages which gave them directions to strip clubs
Orkut: To funnel money to the French government
MySpace: To buy Rupert Murdoch the world's last condor egg...which he later Faberged.

Ok, it's official

I just made a friend who lives all the way in Portland, Oregon. This thing is really catching on.

***BREAKING NEWS***

Zach.
Braff.
Accepted.
My.
Friendship.
Request.

On a WILD hunch, I searched for Braffie in the NY network and *jackpot* he showed up. The Big B keeps a few accounts, but that makes sense since i'm sure they all break the maximum friend allowance.
Fun trivia: B's favorite movie is Battle Royale.
(if you have other questions about his profile, submit them in comments)

A couple suggestions for the Zuck

I think Facebook should have points. Like Mario, or Prince of Persia, or basketball. Like, say you have 1,000 friends (Impossible? Take a peek at John McCain 2008's profile.) You should get 1,000 points automatically. Or if 10 people post on your wall in an hour. 100 points for that. If you have a cool, unique name like Lando you should get about 30 points, but likewise you should lose 30 for a boring name like Quentin. A billion points equals a Facebook gift, but with a twist: it's your own face.

I also think Facebook should have Tamagotchis.

Facebook messages are the new e-mail!

In the comments, can someone tell me how to display a drudge-style siren?

in the comments, can someone tell me how to type in blue on blogger, and also how to make my facebook pic a video.
