"Spending time on the Facebook networking site could enhance a key element of intelligence that is vital to success in life"Then what have we been doing for the past 2000+ years to get by before Facebook?
Dunno since I can't accept any of the definitions of intelligence that I've seen. But after years of using usenet and listservs as my choice for interactive content, I gotta say that my recent discovery of Digg makes it appear to me to be the best thing to hit the net since email. Digg's self-moderating approach, its surprisingly low flame levels, the excellent humor and knowledge of its posters, and information and opinions above what someone bought at the mall that day, interests me far more than Facebook or Twitter. Besides, it happily posts its feeds on my phone's Skyfire browser home page so I needn't fire up the linux box or have to remember to check a bookmark. First time poster looking forward to enjoying and learning more from Digg.

I think they are both terrible for society, especially the youth of today. It's turning them into narcissistic little s**ts.

Well considering we apparently need /s tags for every sarcastic post here to prevent a s**tstorm, I don't know how it is for the intellect here...

In other news, things I like are good, and things I don't like are stupid.
