[YouTube] <— 3,688 As 2011 draws to a close and 2012 comes upon us... I would like to insert the event of losing Steve Jobs as the most impactful story that crossed my life this past year.

Wired on Facebook

Will Facebook monetize on their proprietary stream of 200 million users before we realize face to face interactions are how socialization is supposed to happen?

“… this data comprises a mammoth amount of activity, almost a second Internet. By Facebook’s estimates, every month users share 4 billion pieces of information—news stories, status updates, birthday wishes, and so on. They also upload 850 million photos and 8 million videos.”

I feel like we are entering middle school and people are finally realizing that the annoying friends we have in public… are twice as annoying on the internet.

Will the social graph prevail?
Wired has the article with all the answers.
