If The USA Had A Facebook Page During The Civil War

July 9th, 2008 | 05:00 pm

More and more people are conversing through facebook. But if you really think about it, it's a pretty weird way to communicate. So, our intern Scott decided he'd take it upon himself to depict the entire civil war through the United States's facebook news feed.

by Scott Palmer

It's kinda small, so click on it and it'll get bigger.

Scott would like to thank Sean and Peter. I don't know who those people are, but Scott wants me to put that in there. They probably wrote this for Scott.

    Ever used facebook? The updates on the feed are read from the BOTTOM UP. I wouldn't be so pissed about this if the Facebook thing you guys did earlier didn't have the same problem.

  4. WTF Says:

    Goddamn your site is laggy. I've never seen a website lag as you scroll up and down.

  5. Vincent Says:

    FAIL

  6. Ed at Grand st Says:

    Too bad somebody already did this. These guys have been doing this since April '07.

    And they're doing a much better job at it.

    Haha great work made me laugh at work, plus screw the idiots that point out the photo shop quality on a piece of writing.

  9. user Says:

    lame lame lame

  10. Chris Says:

    WTF? Why do so many people hate this; I think it's pretty funny. Would it really make sense to have this read from the bottom up like a real Facebook bulletin board? Seriously, not everything has to be perfect to be funny.

  11. Facebook Quiz Says:

    I am a regular user of facebook. I think there's some error in the above displayed page.

  12. Teacher Mom Says:

    As a non-facebook user, I could care less what it looks like. Intern Scott--super job!! I can definitely see having my h.s. history students use this idea for other historical events. Thanks for the idea!!

    American Idol is halfway to revealing their Top 12 after putting 3 more people through to the next round. The hopes of nine more contestants were dashed as they were sent home.

    Host Ryan Seacrest told us that we again broke records last night, with over 25 million votes tallied. Ryan then told Simon Cowell that he was talking to Randy Jackson about how awesome Simon is this year. Simon just wants to improve every year. He also wanted the show to be about the contestants.

    The group performance tonight was "Closer" by Ne-Yo. I don't know if this group practiced more on their group performance or what, but they were miles better than last week's group.

    Hi everyone
    I find the best free eight loss diet plan.
    Breakfast
    1 Serving of oatmeal. Use no calorie refrigerated butter spray, no calorie sugar,
    1/2 cup of skimmed milk, 1 Tablespoon of REAL light brown sugar. Small orange
    1 Cup of hot tea or coffee. For creamer, use the 'Creamora' type creamer (10 calories per spoon)

    Snack
    1/2 of any of the following: Hershey Bar, Hershey's with almonds, Nestle's Crunch, Kit Kat OR any candy bar that contains about 200 calories per bar. Eat only HALF. We'll enjoy the rest tomorrow.

    Lunch
    1/2 can of your favorite soup. The 'Chunky' brand soups are very tasty and filling. Try the 'Steak & Potatoes' for a hearty meal! Your total should come in around 200 calories.

    10 saltine crackers

    1 cup of steamed veggies - add as much of the no calorie butter spray as you desire; salt and pepper to taste.

    Smoothie - Take 1/2 cup of skimmed milk, 1/2 teaspoon of REAL vanilla, 1/4 cup of ice, and any of the following: 5 frozen strawberries OR 1/2 a banana OR a small handful of raspberries or blackberries OR 1/2 cup of frozen peaches. Next, use either a blender, your mixer or a stick mixer to combine the ingredients.

    Dinner

    1 small chicken breast that has been roasted in your oven. Add a bit of lemon and rosemary, if desired.

    1 piece of fresh bread, warmed if desired. A nice trick is to spray your bread with butter flavored cooking spray, then sprinkle with garlic salt. If you don't like garlic salt, then omit. Pop the bread into your toaster until warm and crisp.

    1/2 baked potato - add as much of the no calorie butter spray as you desire, as well as parsley, then add salt and pepper.

    2 cups of steamed veggies - add as much of the no calorie butter spray as you desire; salt and pepper to taste.

    1 baked apple topped with 1 Tablespoon of light brown sugar, no calorie butter spray and a dash of cinnamon.
