The wonderful part about the internet is how quickly information can spread. This viral experience is almost breath taking, especially when a service/website goes from flying under the radar to getting HUGE attention.
A perfect example of this feat is the site known as "FML" (f*** my life). It's a site that I have found entertaining for well over a month, and when showing people here in college I always get the reaction of "Why haven't I heard of this before???". Once fmylife.com setup their fan page on Facebook, they have received a tremendously positive feedback from users and experienced a true textbook version of hockey stick growth and with this should come a plethora of active users. In this case more users means more content, more appeal, and even more users. In the past 24 hours they have gone from 200k to 300k to nearly 350k fans and growing rapidly. If only ALL web based startups could see this kind of growth we might not be in our current recession!

LMAO yeah man i love FML but you gots to check out http://www.fwhyme.com/ it has jokes and confessions.. site Rocks FML and FWM RULE.. ohh and you should also check out mylifeisaverage.com
Have you heard about http://www.muttr.com ? It has exploded onto the scene out of no where... Muttr allows the user to speak freely and say whatever is on their mind, anonymously, and it feels great doing so!
Muttr is straight to the point, simple, eye pleasing, and extremely easy to use. It will remain my choice for quite some time now! Trust me, there are plenty of things I will always need to just vent about lol. Heck, if you have nothing to vent about... since the site is pretty much no holds bar, the "Muttrs" on there can get rather amusing haha.
