If you haven’t checked out xkcd.com, you should. Not only is there a ton of extremely geeky humor on there, but every now and then he does the most amazing graphs. Here is one he did about Online Communities, representing the amount of “action” going on in any community as continent size on a map. [...]
FAIL – used to be cute, now too trendy
October 22, 2010
No comments
I think that “Fail” has now moved from the cute/funny category to the over-used too-trendy category, as everybody and their brother seems to be embracing it’s use for a wide variety of things. It was originally used with videos of people trying something, and failing miserably (and usually painfully). Now, it seems to be used [...]

“To be” seems to be disappearing
