Dec. 9, 2007, 3:15 p.m.For those of us out there who are addicted to making the homepage of social media sites like Propeller, this is an important message for you.
There is some really witty stuff in here that I think everyone will enjoy. With information from the Social Media Institute of Technology (SMIT) and interviews with people who has a love one addicted to social media homepages, it's a story that should be told and shared.
Propeller is mentioned in it, but not much. My opinion has always been that the homepage of Propeller is reserved for the really good stories out there.
Please check it out and enjoy!

Dec. 9, 2007, 4:39 p.m.I'm addicted to being a Top Propeller Contributor. At first I would submit 10 stories a day, then it became 15. Now its 25 a day. I refuse to do any more than that because I have to have time to read and vote on all of my friends stories. : )

Dec. 9, 2007, 9:15 p.m.I can't afford the addiction, so I steal other people's stories, and boot them up, when nobody's looking.

Dec. 9, 2007, 11:11 p.m.There should be a special key on the keyboard marked "IQ".
Not for "Intelligence Quotient", but for "I Quit!".
In fact I am going to appeal to FP Anonymous to launch a campaign to make it mandatory!
Just hit IQ and you are forever free from getting anywhere near the front page. In fact, it will be like a spam filter. Anytime it sees your avatar, it will dump you in in that Cyber Recycling Bin!
LOL!

Whatever happens at Propeller, stays at Propeller!
LOL!

Dec. 10, 2007, 3:52 p.m.I concur with the article: "Plagues such as stumblitis, tweeteria, and youtuberculosis must be stopped."
It tends to fragment my puter! They need to send out those law-enforcement officers to administer taser therapy, before the virus mutates further. It's a vast conspiracy!
Does anyone have any ocean-front property in Arizona for sale?
I need a private vacation spot. ; ~ p -Rev. S
