Facemash

Still remember the time when you’re asking for a testi? Or do you even know what testi is?

Well testi is testimonial for short and do you know where is used? For those who didn’t know it came from friendster.

Friendster was the most hyped and the most commonly used social networking site before until facebook came.

In friendster, you can also view pictures same as facebook but in a more strict way, people cannot view pictures if 

you are not friends with them and/or even if you are friends with them, you cannot still view the pictures provided they’ve

edited their privacy in their picture settings. 

Friendster failed to come up with something that is commonly used in facebook, and yes, it is message sending.

When facebook arrived, people instantly switch to facebook making it a hit for only a few months and leaving

friendster almost obsolete.

So? How much do you really know facebook? How much do you really know about your most hyped social networking site?

Well I got some information for you. Originally named as facemash then named thefacebook until settled to facebook , created by Mark Zuckerberg alongside two other people started it in the year 2003.

At 2004, it already was a hit across many schools such as Yale and including the origin which is Harvard. Having more than 8 million

people, facebook became popular along the globe and started growing like it is now. Mark Zuckerberg even dropped out from Harvard

alongside one person in order for them to continue their dreams which was to continue facebook. Now, facebook has millions of users

and is still growing becoming very difficult for the aspiring competitors to compete.

Did He Really Fail Math?

There are a lot of questions whether Einstein really did fail his math subject way back when he was still at school. My questions was that, how would a genius, mathematician fail his math subjects? So I did my research about this article.

When I was still in my high school days, I really believed that one of my idol Albert Einstein a genius, a mathematician failed his math. In relation to me, well, the “normal” people have some fail exams in math and so I did…fail some of my math exams not because I was inspired by my idol but because maybe of the lacking effort. Had I ever knew that this guys really did not fail his subjects but instead solved complicated problems at his early age and even mastered integral and differential calculus.

When this rumor spread, Einstein was still alive that time and in fact he thought it was funny and reportedly said “I never failed in mathematics, before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus.” He even decided if he could solve geometry problems by himself at the age of 12.

Had I not question myself again whether Einstein really failed his math? I would’ve has believe that he was a genius that failed his subjects in his early years at school. Its good to have internet in my side and also google provided that you know how to use them.

Albert Einstein Did Not Fail at Mathematics in School

A 9gag a Day Keeps the Boring Away!

And so you were bored! What do you do then? Watch t.v., listen to the radio, do some random errands. But what if the t.v. ran out of your favorite movies? What if your favorite radio station was offline?

Brace yourselves people, 9gag arrives. 9gag is an alternative way to get rid of boringness. You just need an internet connection and a pc to access 9gag and more importantly, you don’t need to register to view their site.

It was just in the previous months where I used 9gag to fill my alternative recreational time. You don’t need to do some serious routines but scroll and read the website for as long as you can. There are good and bad benefits of using 9gag. One positive side is that aside from giving you fun, it can give you information all over the world which makes you socially aware while on the other side, the negative side, it can be influential to young people and may contain bold languages that are not suitable for young children.

Most people now are familiar with this site, and also, this site has a lot of competitors which will not be named here. People will call you “9gagger!’ and then people around you will understand why because they themselves view 9gag too.

Still not unto 9gag? Why not try it for yourself? All you need to do is visit http://www.9gag.com and have fun but be cautious as it can be addictive at first. There, you can encounter alot of what they call “memes” which are substitute and expressions of the people.
