reaction to mashable.com article

I read "10 social media stories you may have missed" from Sept. 6th.

I found it amusing the mass panic that swept over the nation when gmail was temporarily down. It speaks to just how reliant and dependent we've all become.

Also, "a new script lets you find out when someone removes you from their Facebook friends." Great, now, in addition to obsessing over who may or may not add you to their friend list, folks can fret over being dropped, too.

And, in news that should surprise nobody, the fashion sense of some Wal-Mart shoppers leaves more than a bit to be desired. Hardly a breaking development, though. Nobody is mistaking their clientele for those who swagger through Macy's.

Finally, "Ebay is selling Skype to a group of investors." Evidentally, this had been speculated for quite awhile. I have seen Skype utilized on some TV shows, and it is certainly impressive. Furthermore, my friend uses Skype in order to keep in touch with his girlfriend, who attends Marquette. They both love Skype; it allows them to feel close to each other. Amazing stuff.
