According to an article from the Seoul Journal, the champions of the last two international texting competitions hail from Korea. These crazy kids text while they walk, eat, study... In fact, they'd rather text than talk. And I thought I was anti-social.Interesting article. While it does include insight from the champs' parents, it wryly points out that those "old folks" are just as busy texting.

Keeping information "private" on Facebook
The New York Times put out a great article outlining the new settings Facebook users should pay attention to. Now users can control who sees their status updates and even how individual people see their profiles. It not only tells readers what the new settings are, but how to find them, change them and what each option means. The article even has step-by-step directions. So check out your settings and make sure those steamy photos of you on your 21st won't make it on someone's blog.
And yes, "everyone" means, like, the entire world... even the FBI or some random stalker pervert out in bufu.

- Public bodies or officials must respond within 5 business days (instead of seven)
- Time limits on their responses can be extended by no more than 5 business days (instead of seven)
- Section on redaction (the blocking out of information) was repealed

CNN came up with an interesting way to track how stimulus money was spent. It looks like a clean, simple and interactive approach. Guess the auto industry bailout was smaller than I realized...
