Facebook has surpassed Google as the most visited website. That’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard! Facebook is officially running our lives, and the world. The Hollywood Reporter reported that “8.93 million of all U.S. visits between January and November 2010 while Google had 7.19 percent of visits.”

The fact that one little dude was able to make a little website that has now integrated into all of our lives is insane. While I was doing my Christmas shopping at Best Buy last week, I came across the facebook giftcards. I know they’ve been doing this for a few months now, but I was still in shock that this is what our past few years have come to. Buying cyber dollars to not get anything physical in return except for bragging rights (or more land on Farmville) . I guess it’s no different than me putting money into an arcade, but still, it’s FACEBOOK! I guess congrats are in order for winning the race?

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    I know. It is so sad how addicting it is. It is worse than myspace. I am on there now

    Nads, I don’t know what I’d do without FB. A lot of my friends live out-of-town or state and it’s a great way of keeping up.

    I also have Facebook and frankly, I love it. The vast majority of my family are spread out literally across the world – from England to the Jersey Islands to the Caribbean to New Zealand to Djibouti – and due to that, I haven’t seen some of my cousins for almost 15 years. I like being able to see their photos and see how they’re doing. It definitely has its faults – frankly, it can be addicting and can pull people away from REAL social interactions – but for me, it’s a hugely valuable tool.

    I’m torn. About 95% of the time I’m like “this… is… stupid… Oh, look what Billybob is up to! Oh. Never mind. this… is… stupid…”

    But it has let me keep in touch with a few people, so it’s not all bad.
