Science has determined what makes some of us more social than others – and it all has to do with THE SIZE OF OUR BRAIN THAT DETERMINES OUR LEVEL OF SOCIALNESS.
And using this information, it also explains why dogs are more social creatures than cats are — simply because a dog’s brain is larger than a cat’s brain.

Web Watch has two websites for you today.
The first one is WHAT THE F*** SHOULD I MAKE FOR DINNER? which is also soon to be available in book form (yet another blog-to-book deal, apparently).
One would visit this site to get suggestions on exactly what the f*** you should make for dinner. Some of the f’ing suggestions include:

It seems to be one of those regular “create a public panic” news event. “OMG! Look at how silly people are with their passwords!”
Except this time, the people being silly about their passwords are kids. And with kids, it really is a good time to teach kids THE IMPORTANCE OF SELECTING A GOOD PASSWORD, because it ends up that kids really don’t know what they’re doing when it comes to protecting their personal online spaces.
The survey found that:

Ken Jennings Trivia Almanac, featuring 8,888 trivia questions
Ken Jennings is a trivia master.
He’s the 2nd greatest earnings champion in JEOPARDY! history, but has won more overall game show earnings than any other contestant. He has a few books, of course – he even has his own CAN YOU BEAT KEN board game. He even won GRAND SLAM, the trivia contest that pitted all the top game show contestants against each other to see who truly was the best.
In interviews, Ken has said that nobody can really know it all, and there were a number of Jeopardy! questions that he simply guessed the answers to. Granted, they were highly educated guesses – but they were guesses nonetheless.
Facebook has become an addiction.
Everywhere you look, people are busy hunched over their phones or laptops, feverishly updating their statuses, posting on friends’ walls, playing Farmville or word games — in essence, doing everything OTHER than what they’re supposed to be doing.
Facebook is having a negative effect on business and the economy — in one study earlier this year, over 6% of all URLs accessed by businesses were being sent to Facebook, and that Facebook accounted for 4.5% of all Internet bandwidth. Just imagine if all that effort spent on poking and updating had been spent on actual work, we’d all be in a much better economic state-of-mind.
Besides, don’t forget that CHARLIE WAS FIRED FROM HIS JOB FOR USING FACEBOOK. Granted, he was spending up to 4 hours a day on Facebook – so that might have something to do with it – but he certainly hasn’t been the only one that was fired for Facebooking while on company time.
With all the hype surrounding using social websites like Facebook or Twitter, and traditional websites trying to become more timely by jumping onto the social bandwagon, it appears that this may be one of those times when people are going social for the wrong reasons.
According to the 2010 AMERICAN CUSTOMER SATISFACTION INDEX (done by ACSI with ForeSee Results), consumers ranked social networking website FACEBOOK as being worse than the IRS. When ranked on a 100-point scale, Facebook was ranked at a 64.
64. Where Web Watch went to school, this would be a D… if we were lucky. Some teachers would have given that score an F.

When it comes to sports – and more importantly, how athletes present themselves both on and off the field – times have changed a lot over the past few years.
With Soccer Parents getting into fights with coaches over why their kids aren’t getting enough field time, fighting-enducing trash-talking during a game, athletes climbing into the stands to punch out hecklers, or even some sports where the scoreboard is being taken away entirely “because kids don’t want the pressure to have to win” — the reason for sports to exist in the first place are slowly falling down by the wayside as the “spirit of competition” gives way to “winning at all costs”.

A recent scientific study that covered 10,000 people over 35 years determined that people have, on average, 150 friends at any one moment in time.
So what does this mean to you, faithful Web Watch reader?
You’re right – on the surface, not so much.
