Anyone notice 30k people joined facebook.com interest in past 2 days

pjanaway @pjanaway (247) 23 Jul 07

Anyone notice that 30,000 people joined the facebook.com interest in the past 2 days. That must be a record or something right? Also it must mean there are a lot of active people on myLot. Hmmm. What do you think?

bishojo17 I bet the big spike in the number of people listing facebook is due to the fact that the college semester is starting soon in the US. Students are getting their new university email addresses, signing up for facebook (which is mostly a college site), and...

Possible Grey's Anatomy spinoff-Addison moving to LA-did you like it?

flpoolbum @flpoolbum (2978) • United States 27 Jul 07

I am kind of conflicted because I would have liked to see Addison and Alex get involved. But I did enjoy the storyline and the character's from LA. I think that if they went ahead with the new series, I would watch it. It would be...

bishojo17 Addison is one of my favorite characters, but I will never watch Private Practice if it's going to be anything like the preview we saw. It was way too "Look at us! We're sexy!" and I found the dialog completely predictable and lame, which is sad considering...

bishojo17 I feel that teachers don't get paid enough for the work they do. In my state (New York) I think they get paid around $30-40k, despite the fact that you have to have a Master's degree to be certified. I agree that strikes are very disruptive to the students,...

Andrew O @creationhub (3066) • Malaysia 2 May 07

bishojo17 I've just started my personal finance journey, so I'm setting up my budget now. I've found that I'm spending a bit more than I earn (especially since I'm a student and I earn less in the summer than during the year), so I need to watch what I buy a bit more....

Did someone teach you about personal finance?

CRNbread101 @CRNbread101 (143) • United States 10 Jun 07

I have been reading books on subjects like finance, investing, and success and I am realizing how many people struggle with money just because they were never taught how to handle their finances. I think that it's a subject that...

bishojo17 My parents gave me a good foundation about not spending more than you have and saving for items you want, but as for investing and retirement funds, I'm learning that on my own now. Though I bet they could teach me a few things if I asked them.

bishojo17 I am actually in the market for an interview outfit now. I'll probably go with a fitted suit and a cute camisole underneath. Any good recommendations for brands? I'm thinking Express, but maybe not since I want it to last.

bishojo17 I think you might be confused. Tonight is a one-hour episode, but it's not a new episode. It's a "remix" of two episodes we've already seen. Still, it should be interesting to see how they expand it.

bishojo17 I'm sorry you had a bad experience in Paris. I love the city because, when I'm there, I can feel the history of France all around me. I haven't found the Parisians to be any more or less friendly that the citizens of any other large city that I've visited....

carlomeno @carlomeno (1085) • Italy 5 Feb 07
