I'm geeking out about it!

Anyone know what the blog title is from? I'm geeking out about it? Bonus points if you know!

So, I finally have a good example for a talking point on what I am passionate about technology (and why I love the social spaces group, and why I'd consider doing grad work in psych/soc/informatics/something not straight up CS).

So here we go: Facebook is a technology that was created to support social interactions. The technology itself changed the way people conceptualize their own social interactions (because many students are staying inside surfing facebook rather than talking to their floormates in the dorms, the integration of the verb "to friend (someone)", etc). Facebook, then, has to maintain its technology in a way that supports "social" movements. Particularly, when one particular facebook group gets a million members in 9 days, and creates trouble for the facebook servers. Interesting, eh? I'm guessing Mark Zuckerburg never imagined he'd have to consider server capacity/stress/whatever based on a group for... Colbert for President?

Also... its kind of incredible to think what would happen if everyone who joined that group actually went out to vote. I can't decide if I'm more concerned that it won't happen or that it will...
