TECH: Japan Uses Social Media to Reconnect Families

Despite having a massive earthquake wipe out a significant portion of Japan's infrastructure, Japan's internet is largely intact. And not only is it intact, but it's proving to be a more effective method of finding family and friends. As organizations, such as the Red Cross, are overwhelmed with the sheer magnitude of the devastation and the phones lines are iffy, people have been posting updates to their whereabouts via Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, etc.  In less than hour after the quake, Twitter saw tweets coming from Tokyo at 1,200 per minute.

MEME:  13-Year-Old Rebecca Black's "Friday" is a Headache Worth Having, Apparently

If you haven't heard "Friday" yet- we dare you. While the song (and video) is one big hot mess, it has somehow inspired memes and re-makes, including the above cover by Bob Dylan. It's hard to say it failed completely since it has gained the attention of legendary musicians. Maybe it's a fail/win? It failed so badly it's winning?
