Amman is the world capital of amazing social interactions. It is really simple, but amazing!
Jordan appears to be the best place in the world socially. I might be biased, but I can say that I've never been so socially blessed than I have been when I'm visiting Jordan.
Perhaps it will be different if I lived here, I don't know, but judging by the lives of my friends around here, I can say with comfort that social life in Jordan is one of the best in the world!

No disrespect intended to anyone, but am I the only one who feels that many people appear to jump to conclusions rather quickly?
Scientifically speaking, conclusions can only be drawn after intensive research is done. This research takes into account the reproducibility of the issue being studied, among many other things.
For example, if you clap, and a bird flies to the right. You can't simply conclude that all birds will fly to the right when you clap. If you repeat the experiment a 1000 times and record your findings. You might be close to formulating a conclusion. But this is still not enough!
You will have to take many birds, from many species, in different stages of their life, in different surroundings and using all possible clap noises, from different directions over a period of time to be able to come close to coming up with a conclusion that can be considered scientific. Even the lack of a clear conclusion might be a conclusion by itself. You might end up with a percentage of cases. Or specific patterns in specific birds.
I don't mean to complicate things with this example, but truth be told many things in our lives are quite complicated to think that one thing that we did, caused something -completely unrelated- to happen!

Does the total number of followers even mean something or another? Does it mean that you're a better or more esteemed "Tweep?"
Sadly, and shockingly, I just received an email from an "entity" that will remain anonymous... Boasting that number on my face
I had to look and see who these thousands upon thousands were... For an English service with a face could barely spell, let alone write proper English or provide clear punctuation, I just couldn't help but dig!

Last night during the super bowl (if you're not versed in American pop-culture, the Super bowl is like World cup for American Football). It's also the time were some of the year's best and most expensive commercials are aired.
In an interesting twist, Google, the dominant search giant, whose name became synonymous with searching the Internet, aired an interesting commercial, for what I believe is the first time EVER! (I don't recall seeing any commercials for Google search on TV, there were a few for Android, and even Chrome, but not Search).
However, I have seen interesting (and controversial) commercials for Bing, Ask, Yahoo and a bunch of the now completely forgotten bunch. But never for Google Search, since it's usually the "losers" who try to get some time in front of the consumer eyes.
I might be reading too much into this but the way I see it, Google appears to be hurting, at it's top game... or is it?
