Facebook Passing Up Google Home Page

The world wide internet is always changing and the new wave of change is social networking. Facebook has only been open to the general public since 2007( it used to take an .edu email address from a college or university). Now facebook is the number one most browser entered page there is. Facebook knocked google search into the second most browsed page on the entire net in march. Google held 7.03% of all web landings and Facebook passed them up with 7.07%.
This is incredible and the change was very quick. We now know our browsers are on Facebook more than anywhere else in the global net. Marketers who hear this should be excited because facebook will give you every bit of information on your customers that you could ever want and the sight has gone leaps and bounds in being integrative with all kinds of tech and media. Facebook is a big juggernaut to watch out for it is going to change the way we do business and has already started.

Quotes to Live by April 8 2010

TO BE OF USE

The people I love the best
Jump into work head first
Without dallying in the shallows
And swim with sure strokes almost out of sight.
They seem to become natives of that element,
The black sleek heads of seals
Bouncing like half submerged balls.

I love people who harness themselves an ox to a
Heavy cart
Who pull like buffalo, with massive patience,
Who strain in the mud and the muck to move things
Forward ,
Who do what has to be done , again and again.

I want to be with people who submerge
In the task, who go into the fields to harvest
And work ina row and pass the bags along,
Who stan in the line and haul their places,
Who are not parlor general and field deserters
But move in a common rhythm
Who the food must come in or the fire be put out

The work of the world is common as mud.
Botched , it smears the hands, crumbles the dust.
But the thing worth doing well done
Has a shape that satisfies, clean and evident.
Greek amphoras for wine or oil,
Hopi vases that held corn, are put in museums
But you know they were made to be used.
The pitcher cries for water to carry
And a person for work that is real.

- Marge Piercy
