Its right around 48 hours since I wrote the first entry in this blog. So basically it took two days for me to cave and write a story about Facebook. But this…this is big news, at long last Facebook will be removing the ‘is’ from Facebook Status messages, according to Mashable. No longer will the masses be constrained by awkward sentence structure when they desire their nearest and dearest friends, and random people they are only friends with on the internet, to know the intimidate details of their day-to-day life. No longer will messages like, “Elliot Smith is has a test today” or “Tom Jones is wants a new bike” plague the denizens of the Book.

Just how big an issue was this you ask? Big enough to spur the creation of a 164,000 member Facebook Group. Thats a lot of pissed off people. Now, however, the world can rest easy with a Facebook free of the requirement that your status contain the word ‘is’. Hooray!
