The Charioteer

"The charioteer of the human soul drives a pair of steeds, and one of the horses is beautiful, good, and formed of such elements, whereas the makeup of the other one is quite the opposite." -Phaedrus

Facebook: 23yr old vs. Yahoo

I came across a Newsweek article on Facebook and its mastermind, Mark Zuckerberg, who at 19 created the social database that now rivals MySpace and any others. I just thought it remarkable and commendable that even early on, Mark could spit on the billion dollar offer from Yahoo. Now that is a case of sticking it to them, from the little man. Mark is not so little anymore, owning a business with some 300 employees. Yet it is still commendable that he keeps it for himself. Yahoo would have trashed it...

If you can read the article, at least read this segment:

Early investor Peter Thiel, who sits on Facebook's board, believes that a measly billion dollars for this 300-person company spread over three buildings in downtown Palo Alto, Calif., is a risible sum. Instead, he compares Facebook's current price tag to that of MTV, which he values at about seven or eight billion bucks. "Between the two, I'd want to own Facebook," he says. Not that it's for sale.

Some dieters will choose to either reduce their calories or increase their exercise levels, nevertheless the
most successful programs use both ways to achieve the desired results.

The ingredients utilized in the manufacturing from the product
give no room for any unwanted side effects to the user.
It also releases chemicals to aid the breaking down of body fats.

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the structure of your website?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.

But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with
it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?
