Can you imagine having an audience of 1.5 billion<\/a>? The total eclipse of the moon<\/a> last night, a spectacle that hasn\u2019t coincided with the Winter solstice in 456 years<\/a>, could be seen by North and South America, the northern and western part of Europe and a small part of northeast Asia. Absolutely breathtaking.<\/p>\n

Social media, and more specifically Facebook, was recognized last week when Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was named TIME<\/em>\u2019s \u201cPerson of the Year,\u201d<\/a> citing his success<\/a> of reaching over 500 million people and \u201cchanging how we all live our lives.\u201d Zuckerberg reportedly beat out<\/a> Julian Assange, Hamid Karzai and Sarah Palin. Agree with the choice or not,<\/a> his accomplishments \u2013 and especially at such a young age – are truly remarkable.<\/p>\n

Channel surfing or surfing the Web? A recent study<\/a> concluded that the average U.S. household watches as much broadcast TV as time spent online. Perhaps more interesting is the hours spent in front of the tube has remained the same over the last five years, while Internet use rose 121 percent since 2005.<\/p>\n

With all this time online activity, what were people doing? Facebook users were updating their status<\/a> with HMU (“Hit Me Up”), the World Cup and anything having to do with movies, according to the site\u2019s<\/a> 2010 Memology report<\/a>; LinkedIn<\/a> users were using “Extensive experience,” “Innovative” and “Motivated<\/a> on their resumes and profiles;<\/a> and YouTubers<\/a> were watching the \u00a0\u201cBed Intruder Song.\u201d<\/a> (If you missed it, stay ahead of the game next year with the video sharing site\u2019s<\/a> new trends page that highlights the most popular videos.)<\/p>\n

Ever done a scrub of your contact list, only to realize a few weeks later that you need some of those names?\u00a0 Gmail<\/a> users can now \u201cundelete\u201d deleted contacts made in the last 30 days.\u00a0 This function will come in handy for those who take drastic deleting measures after a disagreement..<\/p>\n

If you are putting a chef hat on for the holidays, check out the Weight Watcher\u2019s iPad app<\/a> complete with recipes, checklists and video.\u00a0 To really impress guests, get tips from celebrity chefs<\/a> on the Food & Wine <\/em>Facebook Page. \u00a0And don\u2019t forget to invite me to the party!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
