Personally speaking, I am not a big Facebook fan, but there are millions upon millions of people all over the globe who can't go a day without logging into the world’s largest social network and checking out what kind of sandwich their old school friend had for lunch, or poking their best friend in an act of online bullying. Although already wildly popular, the whole Facebook experience may be a distinctly better one for a large portion of users if they didn't need to be constantly signed into the web service with a browser running all the time.

One of the great things about Apple, and one of the main reasons why so many people love the company the world over, is the service that they provide to their customers. Apple is often praised for the great products which they provide, which is a compliment they are indeed worthy of, but the truth is that a lot of technology companies manufacture exceptional products which are equal in functionality to Apple's.

One of the beautiful things about the World Wide Web is the fact that it provides a home away from home for people, making the world seem like a much smaller place.
