More Facebook Antics


Facebook is on a roll: a day after unveiling their exciting/terrifying new chat feature, they have debuted the interesting "Facebook Lexicon" which allows users to input multiple keywords and return results based on how frequently the words are used across every user's wall in all of Facebook. Actually kind of cool...

Praise Science isn't doing very hot so far... so all you readers better get a fucking hand in and fire up those wall posts regarding our most prestigious site or you will face the wrath of the BAN HAMMER!!! EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!

UPDATE: FYI: 'xoxo' is a much more popular wall phrase than 'xoxoxo' with both experiencing spikes in usage around the winter holidays and Valentine's Day

fascinating. the term "rofl" is used with fairly stable regularity in the facebook lexicon, except for the first week of january where it's usage nearly doubled. suggested explanations??

i'm going to go ahead and answer my own question. upon further inquiry, it appears that the words "wasted" "drunk" and "plastered" all experienced a similar spike. and who doesn't rofl at a drunk anecdote?
