A 26 year old software development student named Glenn Mangham had hacked into a facebook employees account. He claimed he was helping facebook to increase security. He is now going to jail for 8 months,  and facebook had to pay $200, 000 to deal with the hack. This has to do with the class because it deals with computers and using programs to hack into other websites.

this article is about a twenty six year old man named Glenn Mangham who hacked facebook and said it was to help them with their security issues. He was sent to jail for eight months and Facebook spent $200,000 dealing with this hacker. i thought this was interesting because it seemed pretty unbelievable one guy hacked into the biggest social networking site. 

NASA has set up a cool contest. basically they're giving 150 people who follow them on twitter a chance to be there and see the launch of the Mars Rover, this is a one in a lifetime chance, and if you win then you will be given a tour of the facility, you will get to meet the staff and see the launch from the bunker. However, all expenses are not all paid, because you have to pay for travel and accommodations, but I bet all of the winners are still going to go, because this just doesn't happen everyday.

Why is it that so much happens with Facebook and we rarely hear about Twitter? not two weeks after Facebook launched their shiny, new "hybrid news feed" (deep announcer voice), impressions are down. I don't have Facebook, so I don't know what that is. But it sounds bad. On the bright side, comments are up by 21% and likes by 9%, so Facebook is on the rise again. Good going, Zuckerberg & co.
