“People are no longer after experiences of truth. They are looking for true experiences, for the moment. People are no longer obsessed with the question, ‘What is the truth?’ They want to know, ‘What is the point?’ And the point is the moment.”

“Creativity shouldn’t be seen as something otherworldly. It shouldn’t be thought of as a process reserved for artists and inventors and other “creative types.” The human mind, after all, has the creative impulse built into its operating system, hard-wired into its most essential programming code. At any given moment, the brain is automatically forming new associations, continually connecting an everyday x to an unexpected y.”

- Jonah Lehrer on how creativity really works. (via explore-blog)

“The company[Facebook] also notes that its network receives 3.2 billion comments per day and 300 million new photos daily. The site also claims 125 billion friendships. Of the 901 million figure, 526 million were described as daily active users in March. Some 488 million people also used Facebook mobile products that month, according to the filing.”

- Those Facebook stats never cease to amaze us. (from: Facebook Now Has 901M Users).
That billion users might come a few months shy of August.
