hellbanTHIS··on Maine, Michigan votes another 'green light' for marijuana legalization
Aha, I was wondering how the cops and courts were going to keep up all that revenue they used to get from pot busts. Piss test roadblocks for everybody!
hellbanTHIS··on Why Teenagers Are Fleeing Facebook
I'm sensing that many people now avoid anything that resembles a 'social network', as if they tried it and are now over the whole concept. Facebook left a bad taste in a lot of mouths.

Edit: NPR's All Things Considered did a story on this exact thing a while ago: http://www.npr.org/blogs/monkeysee/2013/06/17/192718821/teen... and apparently Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram and Vine are big ones for the teens they talked to.

And that's really the last word on the subject. It's done growing and unless they do some major branching out it's probably as profitable as it will ever be. Which is going to unfortunately traumatize a whole bunch of stockholders and sink a lot of other innocent tech stocks but when we look back it's probably going to seem pretty obvious that Facebook wasn't ever going to be the next Google or even the next LinkedIn. It's audience is too fickle.

Do younger people really use Facebook though? The only person I actually know who still uses it is my Grandma, who just plays scrabble on it.
hellbanTHIS··on Why I moved to Miami
Orlando is horrible, one of my least favorite cities in Florida. Gainesville on the other hand is great.

This is cool and I'm going to use it but I want people make money too, so personally I'd be fine if you took my geographic location and served me ads based on that.

I want to know what's on sale at the nearest grocery store, and I wouldn't be too creeped out if you knew where I was geographically. But maybe that's just me.
