The Feedbox: A Series.

Tidbits you can share at the dinner table.






Blender goes 'bye bye'. After only 8 years, the music mag is calling quits due to tough times and low sales. It will still remain online. I've heard a similar fate might occur to other publications like URB Mag, and of course if you're in the Bay, you know how the Chronicle is strugglin. http://bit.ly/zbTdL

Italy forces kids to walk it out. As a way to combat childhood obesity, Italy has 86'd the school bus and is instead hosting a program to encourage kids to walk to school. In 1969, over 40% of the kids in the US walked to school, in 2001 it had dropped to 13%. I wonder if that could be linked to obesity rates... http://bit.ly/hA4mo

Ghost write the twit! I was always skeptical about this, and now it is true. Some celebrities hire ghost writers to keep up with their tweets, Britney and Kanye included. However there are some that stay true, Solange, Estelle, and Diddy to name a few. In response to the Ghost writer's, Shaq stated that “It’s 140 characters... If you need a ghostwriter for that, I feel sorry for you.” http://bit.ly/JDAxF
