In Japan, half of the top selling books are written on mobile phones. Wow. WRITTEN.

“”I typed it all on my mobile phone,” Rin explains matter-of-factly over the same device. [...] Remarkably, half of Japan’s top-10 selling works of fiction in the first six months of the year were composed the same way - on the tiny handset of a mobile phone. They sold an average of 400,000 copies.”

From the article, the trend is not new in Japan since “Maho no i-rando (Magic Island), a site that has free tools to help readers create their own mobile phone novels, has accumulated nearly 1 million works since it was set up seven years ago”

Here are the mascots for the Vancouver’s 2010 Olympics. Numerous Facebook groups have appear, either for or against them. So far, the groups to boycott/change them are winning (1500 members for a boycott and 500 for a change. You also have a 1000 members group “Vancouver mascots are a joke). Personnaly, I think they’re great if you’re under 10. I hope it was intended.

Facebook is going down. IT IS GOING DOW BABY. Or so think this blog. (I agree, it might be a deceiptive title..)
