The Kid Talks Back

Ok, so you probably know who I am.  Ruby (a.k.a. the tween). Parents, it is ok to let your kids read this one. I have been meaning to write a post for a while and my mom wants me to do a book report on this book "A girl's smart guide to the internet." But I think I will get to that in another post (don't worry, I will have more posts). 

The Dog Ate My Homework

This morning I had to write the modern day equivalent of “the dog ate my homework” letter to Ruby’s home room teacher but this time the blame went to the internet. Or lack of it. Our connection went down last night throwing us both into a panic. I couldn’t access the recipe I was planning to make for dinner. Our Vonage phone line was down. But, most punishing (or rewarding) of all, Ruby couldn’t access her homework, which is posted daily to her school’s intranet site.

Facebook Tops 100 Million U.S. Users

Facebook has crossed the 100-million-user mark in the U.S. a week after announcing it had surpassed 350 million members worldwide. More startling, however, is the fact that if FaceBook were a country it would be the 5th most populous in the world.

According to Comscore, 52% of Facebook users are between 18 and 34 years old and 19% are 35 to 44 but what I really want to know is how many Facebook users are tweens (10 -12 year olds).
