Practice for your year abroad in Chile

Facebook has released a Spanish-language version of itself, growing even more into an international behemoth. 1500 Spanish-speaking facebook members contributed to figure out how to do it right.

"Over 60 percent of Facebook users are now outside of the U.S., and many live in countries where English is not the primary language," said Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook. "Our goal has always been to allow people to use Facebook in their native language so we built an application to enable users to participate in translating the site into their local languages and dialects. We really appreciate the contribution from users in translating Facebook."

Man, remember facebook back when they only had a few schools -- they chose my alma mater and there were press releases everywhere. It was a huuuuge deal for some reason.

And also, if you're sick of the 16 invites a day for Zombies / Werewolves/ Fun Wall etc., check out this video on how to block them, thereby making your life better.
