Bwog’s a bit facebooked out this week, but we did get a hot tip about Zuckerberg’s response to anti-Facebook Facebook groups, hostile “status” messages (“so-and-so is busy hating Facebook,”) and campaigns like Bwog’s to quit the system. Zuckerberg reassures, “Calm down. Breathe. We hear you,” and defends mini-feed project manager, Ruchi, who is apparently “not […]

No matter if your quarters are nestled deep within the shaft of McBain, or if your pad flies high in the penthouses of EC or Sulz, your bedroom and its contents are sacred.
