Facebook is my number one distraction. Have you ever wondered who exactly is looking at your profile?

Females are encouraged to not wear their bras, to free their breasts for 24 hours and spend the day unleashing their boobies from the boobie zoo. Ladies are also asked to wear a white t-shirt.

First, MySpace was the place to hang out online, then along came Facebook, and not only knocked it off it's throne, but gave it a swirly in the toilet to boot! Along the way, MySpace tried to get it's dignity back but nothing worked. Then Google jumped into the fight with Buzz which was a failure. Google Wave made a little bit of a show but still fell flat. Now Google has Google+ and it's getting traction.
Facebook finally settled the rumors on Wednesday. Through a partnership with Skype, Facebook is rolling out integrated video calling to the public beginning immediately.
