Thanks #XboxOne #E3 press conference for revealing to us exactly zero games featuring a female protagonist for the next generation.

These responses make me wanna puke.
The Securities and Exchange Commission charged the Nasdaq with violating securities laws during the May 2012 IPO of Facebook, hitting it with a $10 million fine, the largest charged to an exchange.
Facebook, the No. 1 social networking site that went public a year ago, was plagued with trading errors and problems at the start. Initial trading was delayed and even once trading began, buyers faced long delays finding out if their orders went through and at what price. More than 30,000 Facebook orders were stuck in the Nasdaq system for more than two hours, when they should have been canceled, the SEC says.
According to the SEC’s order against Nasdaq, leaders of the exchange made a series of poor decisions regarding the Facebook IPO and relied on systems that weren’t appropriate to handle the anticipated trading volume.
FYI, Facebook users.

Smartphones have given radio journalists like me the ability to give some context to our stories that may not have been available before the ability to shoot and edit photos, video and sound and then share all of it via social media and email. In the end, we not only ended up scooping the competition on a very memorable story that drummed up a lot of great feedback, but we delivered it to listeners so they could see it, hear it, read it and even interact with it through social media.

Although I consider myself an adult, I’ve realized that the way I use and interact with others on Tumblr is in the same vein as many of it’s [sic] teenage users. I don’t consider my use of it as juvenile, but rather, an extension of the exploration of self that begins as a teen and continues for years later. Paying for an apartment and working at a job provides money, but I am still figuring out what I want to be and who I actually am. The process is ongoing.
Definitely worth a read! I tried finding a quote to pull, but there are so many to choose from.
But a funny thing has been happening lately: Almost all of the advances taking place within our established social networks have emphasized images at the expense of text.
They compare it a lot to Tumblr, but I think the community feels fairly different over there (from my less than a week of using it).
Plus, I’ve had the problem of it showing folks on the front page that I’m not technically following (this is slightly annoying).
Speaking of speaking Spanish, earlier tonight I found this notebook with vocab words I kept while I was in Peru. Did some real intense soul...
