Discover your friend facts…
The social networking site Facebook has a certain viral quality that is difficult to ignore. Those morons who attracted the attention of the Secret Service recently for creating a poll on Facebook that asked people to vote on whether our President should suffer mortal injury are an extreme consequence of another Facebook social application running amuck. Some people are not living in the real world…
Here’s the latest one. You can Discover your Friend Facts. When you click on some clever widget it will calculate stats based on what your Facebook friends have supposedly said about their proclivities. Many of my friends would be less than willing to reveal this kind of personal information so the sample has to be a tad incomplete. Even so, here are the results from this survey of my Facebook friends:
Gender breakdown: 49% female / 51% male
Relationship status: 56% single / 44% taken
Political breakdown: 94% democrats / 6% republicans
Geographic distribution: 13 countries, 34 states
Most common zodiac sign: Virgo (49 friends)
Favorite music: Blues (13 friends)
Favorite TV show: Lost (16 friends)
Favorite movie: (12 friends)
Favorite book: (9 friends)
Favorite activity: Reading (25 friends)
That final statistic is the only one that really matters to me.

Twice as many Virgos as readers (sigh). But Virgos are cool. Don’t get me wrong.
