  1. I thought this was pretty funny! I happened to be doing the social media thing when I ran across this post on mashable

    ” Google is Going Down the Toilet” http://mashable.com/2010/01/08/google-is-going-down-the-toilet-pic/

    Maybe we don’t have to worry about the media giant LOL I just can’t say this without a bit of a laugh.

    Life goes on….have fun and be passionate about what you do, everything elese will come into place.
