I’m feeling like this is why I never check Facebook.

“Twitter feels like continually moving to NYC without knowing anyone whereas Facebook feels like you’re living in your hometown and hanging with everyone you went to high school with. Twitter’s we’re-all-here-in-the-moment thing… is what makes it possible for people to continually reinvent themselves on Twitter. You don’t have any of that Facebook baggage, the peer pressure from a lifetime of friends, holding you back. You are who your last dozen tweets say you are.
— Jason Kottke, “Twitter is a machine for continual self-invention”

» Why Facebook is Blue
meaghano posted this quote from Jose Antonio Vargas’s New Yorker profile of Mark Zuckerberg:
“Colors don’t matter much to Zuckerberg; a few years ago, he took an online test and realized that he was red-green color-blind. Blue is Facebook’s dominant color, because, as he said, “blue is the richest color for me—I can see all of blue.””
The color blue also happens to be the most popular color in the world (or so the marketing research says…)
I continue to be fascinated by cases of physical shortcomings that lead to signature features of someone’s work. Need to come up with a name/tag for this…
(I’m mildly red-green color-blind myself.)
