  MySpace is popular because
Functioning Form - Why is MySpace Popular?
MySpace is popular because someone or something told you it was. With products like MySpace, network effects are key drivers for adoption. More buzz and conversation around a particular product or service always serves to amplify its popularity. In the case of MySpace that popularity is supported by the presence of popular bands and popular kids on the site!”

Having recently spent some time talking to groups of teens that regularly inhabit MySpace, I’m more confident in this “explanation”. Despite having a laundry list of user experience complaints about the site, teens keep coming back with an almost "follow the herd" mentality. Which is a strong testament to the importance of prevalence

  Freedom on the March

from flickr user:oto-polska.blogspot.com.

This poster is a piece of polish political satire. It reads "4th Polish Republic Is Arriving. Nurses! Do Not Come Back from Spain".

To exaplain this one needs to understand that Polish Nurses are getting paid good money to work in Spain and a lot of them have moved there as economi refugees because there are no well paying jobs in Poland for them. With the current polish administration viewed as right-wing, republican, family values, no work on sunday type of people this poster is urging polish nurses to stay in Spain instead. - Not very funny. Poland is obviously falling apart. It's becoming a place for "Winners Only".
