Over the weekend, Lady Gaga became the first person to break 10 million followers on Twitter.

And not a single one of them understands what the hell she is singing about at the beginning of "Bad Romance."

USA Today reports that Myspace's days may be numbered.  From their article:

"With traffic numbers that 'are not going in the right direction,' [News Corp. COO Chase] Carey wants to see 'a clear path to profitability' on a timetable measured 'in quarters, not in years.'"

Quarters, not years.  All I can say is, "Why wait that long?"

The article continues, "The category in News Corp.'s financial report that's dominated by MySpace lost $156 million in the quarter that ended in September."

Quick!  Get News Corp on the phone.  I have an idea that will save them $156 million.  And my fee is only a measly 1%.

The Fox 4 news team in Dallas-Fort Worth parodies news media's ridiculous obsession with social networking. Funny stuff, guys! Shootings? Always hilarious. Dead bodies crack me up.

Actually I really did enjoy this. Our culture's reliance on social media is a joke. So thumps up for making fun of all that, Fox 4.

Mashable reports that Harrisburg University of Science and Technology is banning all social media sites from its network for a week because the university wants "students to think about how much they?re using technology in their daily lives and what kind of impact it has."  Only email will be allowed.

Additionally, electricity is being cut off, landline phones will be shutdown and all students will be forced to start mining coal and the school is changing its name to Harrisburg University of Coal Mining and it's no longer a school, it's a labor camp.

Alright, that last part isn't true, but shouldn't a college of "Science and Technology" encourage students to use technology.  The dean of the Berklee College of Music wouldn't have students put away their instruments for a week so they could see what the world would be like without music.  A medical school would never have doctors in training let patients die so they could think about what the world would be like without medicine.

This whole things sounds a lot like some sort of filthy publicity stunt made by some third-rate university, which isn't what I'd expect from a prestigious institution such as…  um…  Harrisburg University.
