Facebook is celebrating its fourth birthday today. The popular social networking site was launched back in 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg. I hate to admit that I use it at all but I'll admit it: I'm a facebooker and I use it quite frequently.
My fellow facebookers will agree that there has been an increase in needless applications in the past year. It has been dubbed "stalkerbook" by my friends and I, because of its increasingly personal introductions upon signing in: so and so broke up with their boyfriend, so and so posted new photos, so on and so forth.
Facebook is great for connecting with old friends though. My best friend in elementary school who moved away a few years later found me not too long ago. Facebook is wierd in that way.
Facebook is open to anyone, which is why people should be careful in what they purposely put online. Employers are actively searchiing potential employee's profiles. Keep it clean people, leave out the pictures of you doing a keg stand in your underwear, no one wants to see that anyway.
Just some final facts on the Facebook phenomenon: Microsoft was looking to buy shares estimated between 300-500 million dollars. There are currently 106,907 members of the Milwaukee network. Also, "Facebook" came in second for Merriam-Webster's words of the year in 2007.
Do you "facebook"? Do you enjoy it, hate it, or love to hate it?

Although the wacky, anonymous, eyeball-mask-wearing members of The Residents make a point of labeling it a collection of "pop songs," The Bunny Boy isn't simply a pop album. It's also a cryptic Internet series that "inspired" the album, a live performance

Mitchell Street was once known as the Polish Grand Avenue, the main drag for Milwaukee’s large Polish-American community. The Poles began moving away in the 1970s, making way for new chapters in the city’s immigrant story. Mitchell Street has
Little touches set it apart: the twist of lime on the rim of a glass of cranberry juice, the faux modern paintings on the wall… Ten years after it opened, Metro Bar & Cafe, just off the lobby of Hotel Metro (411 E. Mason St.), remains a timelessly
