Angry Birds will dominate on Facebook

So word has it that just like Cityville, Farmville, Mafia Wars etc. Angry Birds will be making it’s way onto Facebook as a game app that you can install. I’m unsure whether it’s intending on generating revenue by advertising or by subscriptions, or how exactly the game will work with a keyboard and a mouse, but regardless, I’m certain this game will be a huge success.

Angry Birds is a phenomenon. I enjoyed it for a while, but the fact that you can’t perfect how you play on it got to me a little. Your aim can never be duplicated to 100% certainty… Never the less, Angry Birds on Facebook will be a force to be reckoned with as the world’s most popular game debuts on the world’s most popular website.

Angry Birds should be available on Facebook in April.

Starbucks being sued over not warning customers over a tip jar?
March 10, 2011, 2 Comments

Ed Lover’s voice is kicking in while I type this saying in response to the headline, “Com’mon son!”

In 2008 Roger Kreutz chased down a tip jar thief from a St. Louis Starbucks in St. Louis’ suburbs. When he caught the teenager that stole the jar and struggled him to the ground, the 54 year old ended up hitting his head. He died from that injury two days later.

His father, claiming that there was no attached warning to the tip jar is suing Starbucks on behalf of his son’s estate using the argument that the tip jar “invited the act of perpetration of said crime.” Come on, someone stole it, his son was courageous enough to defend minimum wage worker’s tips and he needs to cash in and sue? Nah. Ridiculous. Starbucks isn’t at fault, the only one that is, is the thief.

Jennifer Aniston Sex Tape

Jennifer Aniston Sex Tape – that’s what the Smartwater campaign labels this as and thus so do we.

The “viral” video as it’s starring Ms. Aniston, it’s bound to be, is mildly amusing. Check it out.

Columbian player boots owl off a football pitch

Jugador del pereira patea Lechuza de Barranquilla Maltrato Animal

Ocurrio en el partido Junior… Pereira..en Colombia, donde un jugador del Pereira LUCHO MORENO (#3) en lugar de ayudar a la Lechuza del estadio la patea sin compasión. NO MAS MALTRATO ANIMAL! Judicialización a este Abusivo personaje!

The original text is above in Spanish, and it calls for serious prosecution of the animal abuse of the owl.

But lets be reasonable, a football player that’s overly energized, adrenaline running through his body and gets slowed down by an owl on the grass? Get that bird off the pitch! I’d imagine he thought, so he gave it a little kick. He may have thought more wisely though (like owls, his nemesis’) that he was being filmed at the time of doing so.

The Wallmart of Weed

The Walmart of Weed

WeGro – a hydroponics equipment store is the company that’s trying to present themselves as a Walmart for growing weed for “medical” use. They sell lights, plant fertilizers and the like, essentially boasting that they can help grow medical marijuana. The company is beginning in Sacramento, California, but intends to grow it’s business throughout the country as “medical” marijuana increases in it’s legalization.

Statement “Facebook will be The Most Valuable Company in the World in 2013″

I came across the video above by accident.

The speech was done by Scott Galloway at L2 for The George Washington University School of Business Washington, D.C. on February 12th, 2011

In the above video Scott Galloway talks about the fact that Facebook’s growth (currently it has an estimated 600 million members) and the time spent by it’s members on the site is larger than any other site online. People surf, waste their time and look at website content through Facebook. They “like” and share their social media through it, and tend to have their twitter accounts very closely linked.

So, by L2′s educated estimations, they could be worth leagues more than the $50 billion that Goldman Sachs has them valued at currently. Mark, can I borrow a dollar?
