When reminiscing about the 1980s we immediately think of our fashion mistakes. From crimped hair to off shoulder shirts to jean jackets we all made horrendous (yet humorous) fashion decisions. However, for Coca-Cola their 80s mistake was the short lived "New Coke". Could a simply change in the Coca-Cola classic logo prove just as disastrous?

Thought of the Day
What do you plan to do for Super Bowl this Sunday? Eat some pizza and drink a soda? Gossip about the best commercials? If you want to eat buffalo wings at the party you better begin your search.
Thought of the Day
If you are having problems with alcohol, you attend an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. If it's drugs, you go to the Betty Ford center. So what do the wealthy wives of the country do when their husbands lose their jobs and value of their stock portfolio?
Create Your Neemee Network
Neemee has been adding important social features over the past few months that you should take advantage of using. In an effort to improve the user experience and enhance group collaboration, Neemee now allows you to add other users to your network so you may follow them and their thought stream.
Adding users to your Neemee network couldn't be easier!
1. Anytime you are looking at an individual thought, to the right of of the title is a box displaying the user who captured the thought. Their name is in orange, indicating a link. Click the link and then below their screen name is another orange link entitled "Follow this Person." After you click there, you will be following that person.
2. If you already know the user you want to follow, simply select the "People" tab from the main navigation bar. Then search the screen name of the user you wish to follow. Select their avatar and then select the "Follow this Person" link below their screen name.
Thought of the Day
Wii Fit took both America and Japan by storm, and as the fad begins to slow down, Nintendo has an answer to revive the trend in a way that's never been attempted. They plan to release a channel to link up users with health professionals, to assist with body analysis.
The hope is to build a bridge between fitness gaming and fitness professionals.
Is Twitter Killing Blogs?
With the rise in popularity of Twitter, are bloggers making a transition? Twitter is emerging as a vibrant alternative to bloggers and blog readers. Bloggers who find the grind of writing daily too demanding are now able to share their thoughts in quick bursts on Twitter, and still feel like they are contributing and cultivating their digital brands. Twitter has become a quasi-RSS reader where people gain access to the information (news, blog posts, services) they see valuable without having to visit blogs directly or use an RSS reader. Many of these people are using still blogs but perhaps not as actively.
So where will you get your information? Are you still old-school newspaper? News media websites? Blogs? Or joining the newest medium, Twitter?

Now that Facebook has become fairly normal in the world of social networking, parents are logging on. The only problem with this, is that kids are logging off.
It's the age old saying that once parents think it's "hip/cool/rad/tubular/safe" (or dare I say boss) it's time for the kids to find something fresher.

Have a kid, hate your significant other? Split up!
It turns out that if you're separated in the U.K. and you have a child, you can earn more money a year in benefits, and you don't have someone nagging at you at home. What's crazier, people who are still in love are doing it just for the payout.

After suffering for the last 13 months by the recession, many wonder "Are any products resilient?" We have heard that alcohol and low-cost food sales go up during tough times, but there appears to be new one...

Now that MacWorld is Over...
Some were excited about the 17" Macbook, some where disappointed in the lack of Steve, and some people just thought is was completely boring. If it didn't satisfy, take a look at the Onion's humorous attack to the hype that is MacWorld.
