Why Are Dead People Liking Stuff On Facebook? (ReadWrite)
Three things.
- Apparently ReadWrite is the new ReadWriteWeb. They should have kept the Web, at least for another six months.
- This is just an amazing thing to hear Facebook say. I can’t believe they would go on record with something like this.

There should be 3-5 people who don’t get to go to sleep until my dead friends stop liking things on Facebook.
- Does this mean Mike Janssen and David Jacobs don’t like Amtrak?
