The secret to facebook’s product development research revealed!

Lately, facebook has been implementing new features, which look suspiciously like functions that already appear in a very popular micro-blogging platform.
And the response to these implementations have not been received with the overly positive response that was perhaps expected.

Twitter users were outraged.

Facebook users were outraged.

Many people have blogged and suggested that Facebook has merely copied popular elements of other popular sites in an effort to make sure that current FB users remain with the site, as well as attracting users from the other sites to fall back in love with Facebook again.

Whatever the reasons – the main question that I think needs to be asked is this:

“Are Facebook making changes because it will enhance their user experience, or is it just a case of jealousy?”

Change for change sake is never good.
Time will have to tell with this one.

Those damn facebook games

One day, playing all those stupid games on facebook will catch up with you.

Let me get this out in the open – I really really hate those games on facebook.
Not the games themselves though.

I hate that even though I am not playing them, I still have to interact with them.
They force me to filter their information feeds, spend time ignoring or blocking requests to play them or writing messages to friends, asking them to stop telling me about their latest win in “BejewelFarmMafia poker”, or whatever.

And people already get obsessed with Facebook & other social media, so giving them a new addiction is not on, in my book.

It is all just so damn annoying.

Anway, that’s all I want to say on the matter.

So, feel free to leave a comment and vent your rage if you agree with what I am saying here.
(And no, I will not join your mob, guild or crew.

I did not include trolls in this comic, because they are actually real.

I did not include trolls in this comic, because they are actually real.

This comic contains six things that do not exist.

The internet, and modern media in general, has allowed myths and fantasy to flourish, spread and crossover into believed fact like never before in human history.
Sure, there have always been those that believe in the creatures that hide in the shadows. And many would say that despite what you may personally believe, it is unwise to refute the belief in these creatures, as it tempts fate.
After all, they are based in fact somewhere, right?

Even shakespeare added the quote to Hamlet:

“There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.”

If aliens landed tomorrow, what would they have to do to avoid scaring us to death?

Ok, sure, we have all seen so many sci-fi shows and movies, that I am sure many of us would handle it fairly well.

But how would the aliens choose to deal with it?
Would they just come right out and show themselves as they are, or choose to take a more subtle route?

This comic shows one possible scenario that aliens may choose to follow, in order to lessen the shock of First Contact. Plus, I had a strange desire to draw an alien dressed as bacon.
