- Half of Twitter users tweet less than once every 74 days.
- Twitter men are twice likely to follow another man than a woman.
- Men have 15% more followers than women.

Brotha’ Fred & Morgan Fogarty talked about Paula Abdul’s appearance on Letterman. Paula was asked about whether she was leaving American Idol. She replied that “It’s called, um, ‘negotiating’.” Paula also mentioned she likes Kara. Paula did look relatively sober.
Want an example of what is wrong with this country? A family worked in shifts for 30 hours over 14 weeks to place 18,000 votes for American Idol’s Kris Allen. The Rychalsky family spent two hours each Tuesday and four for the final episode. This was the best use of the family’s time?
With all the problems in this country and shortages in many areas, spending so much time on trivial things just increases the problems. The Red Cross performs many services including visitiing families from house fires to major hurricanes to asist with places to live/shelters, food/medical delivery and other immediate needs. They not only need money donations but Time donations. There is a shortage of people. Only a few hours each week of training from Idol voting and the Rychalsky family could have been prepared to assist other families. Thereafter its only a few hours a month or whatever time you have. There are many, many other organizations with a shortage of people for teaching adults to read; Big brother/big sister; volunteer police and tons of others. You can find many volunter positions at the Federal Serve.gov website. You will also get a better sense of the world and make you feel prouder of yourself when you volunteer to help others. And You might need those same services one day.
Bit of correction or clarification: The Edge crew talked about Police arresting a twenty year old for underage drinking. It was said this was a minor thing for the police to spend time on. Actually the woman was involved in a fatal crash killing a motorcyclists and was awaiting trial. Erika Scoliere, 20 had been released on bail and a condition was placed that she was not to drink alcohol or be around those that are.
Scoliere is charged with reckless homicide and aggravated DUI. There were picturs on Facebook showing her in a drunken state. A caption for one of the pictures said: ‘Erika passed out in my bed. Ha Ha” The check was done on Scoliere specifically (and not a general search on Facebook) as she failed to call in as scheduled which was a condition of her bail and not wewaring an ankle monitor. Her Attorney had argues at her bail hearing against wearing a ankle monitor because she was going back to school.
Fred had said police should have been spending time looking for child porn instead of looking for underage drinking. This was done by the State Attorney general’s office only because Scoliere violated the conditions of her bail.
