Tom Brady will feature Antonio Brown 'early and often' in Buccaneers debut vs. Saints

There is a strong sense among many in that organization that Brady will be featuring the former All Pro "early and often" against the คาร์สิโน this weekend. Brady is uniquely invested in Brown's production, as the driving force behind his signing there, and has personally vouched for the oft-troubled player's behavior as well, sources said, vowing tokeep a close eye on him as he lives in Brady's guest house.

Couchsurfing became just another Facebook group ?

Couchsurfing.org, the site that allows people to be hosted in foreign cities for free is slowly becoming a site for making friends and maybe dating .... That's not bad but that's not the core concept of the site .

What is really happening, is that the CS communities are becoming groups of friends, and more precisely a group of people to befriend when you are lonely, this is obvious when you go through the different Facebook groups created by the different CS communities.

I have directly observed 2 different CS communities closely, one in a very touristic city and another in a small city, needless to say in small cities CS communities are almost inactive, in touristic cities the communities are more vibrant but the danger arise when the members of these communities start strengthening their ties, thus becoming good friends, because that will create the concept of us and slowly erode the openness the CS used to have. Creating a group of friends, means there's less place for the other (in contradiction with couchsurfing concept), creating a group of friends means also there's some hormones in play, and that conflicts between members are to be expected.

It also means the traditional open CS meetings will now take place more privately and in a less open manner.

It also Means getting 24+ positive reviews while you barely had a couple real hosting/surfing experiences and might actually be a bad Host / surfer!

It also means getting 5+ vouches from friends not from surfers or hosts while vouching is a security measure essential to the integrity of the network!

So did CS become just another FB group for meeting new people, only time will tell!
