For a long time, Facebook was the most dramatic, exciting company in Silicon Valley, if not in the world.
Facebook was a global phenomenon with users. It grew from a few thousand users at Harvard to a few million at college campuses around the country to more than a billion people in about five years.

You can learn a great deal about a culture by watching children play. There are places I have been where none of the games have any winners and losers, they are all just games for fun, other places emphacize the victors and the vanquished. Particularly among boys, winning and loosing gracefully is not the norm. The winner tends to act as if the win is an illustration and that justice has prevailed, that god or the order of the universe had been made manifest and that everybody else would be wise to bow down before the victor.

IF you ask the ‘Nationals’, the state idea of Georgia is entering NATO and EU. If you tell an American or a Frenchman that the NATO or the EU membership of their country is their national idea, their eyes will pop out of their head because any international alliance or organization is only an instrument to regulate economic, military or political challenges facing the country but not the ultimate aim of existence of the nation.

Inspired by a line on a randomly seen cover of the novel The Gifts of Imperfection: ”Let go of who you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are.”

Some restaurants have started banning customers from taking photos of their food, “the New York Times” reports, quoting several chefs in New York City. Georgians like to take pictures at the table; this is a part of national tradition, especially while they are hosting guests, close friends and relatives. One can find plenty of pics on Facebook, Instagram, Livejournal, Twitter and other social networks.

In many parts of Georgia fewer than half of the children go to any type of preschool before school starts. Even in Tbilisi, it is lower than international averages. Over the last several years there have been several studies that have shown the advantages of just a few hours a day of preschool. Some studies have gone on over decades, and have looked at children who went to pre-school from the age of three until school starts usually at age six and compared them with children from similar backgrounds who didn't.

The good news about the Internet and its most visible component, the World Wide Web, is that there are hundreds of millions of pages available, waiting to present information on an amazing variety of topics. The bad news about the Internet is that there are hundreds of millions of pages available, most of them titled according to the whim of their author, almost all of them sitting on servers with cryptic names. When you need to know about a particular subject, how do you know which pages to read? If you’re like most people, you visit an Internet search engine.

Dog Poop There are some stray dogs in Tbilisi but not so many now, mainly people who own dogs as pets. Those people walk their dogs, those dogs poop on the sidewalk, and usually the owners just leave it there. There are several aspects of this phenomenon. We'll discuss them one by one.

The Minister of Defense has announced that gradually military conscription will be phased out over the next four years. This is a good move, the current system doesn't make any sense.

As it was mentioned above with SMS voting function of any Mobile Operator like Geocell, Magticom or Beeline Georgia SMS Gateway you can create various SMS voting events, for example, SMS quizzes, SMS polls, SMS surveys, etc. SMS voting is the best way to get people’s opinion. It can be applied in entertainment and business sectors as well. So it can be used for two reasons: for entertainment and for marketing reasons.This application is not currently used by mobile carriers in Georgia.

Writing this column, I am often accused in the various forums of looking down on Georgia, of being judgemental and having a sense of superiority. Here's an example from a forum about the Georgian version:

Perhaps one of the most important aspects that shape a country’s essence is tourism. Hospitality is an art that every nation’s people should master. It is how a country welcomes a foreigner that really reflects its image back to the world. Being a native Georgian, I never had a chance to experience what it is like to be a tourist in Tbilisi. I did however live in Egypt for sixteen years before moving to the United States. This is a recollection of my last day in Egypt, before I headed off to a different world. I was a tourist in Cairo, and am a tourist now as well. I’ve been a tourist for my entire life.

Christmas does not only leave its mark on our homes and streets, but also on our personal belongings. Naturally, it is also possible to add zest to your computer with Christmas-themed screensavers, games, and music.

Another doomsday prediction come and gone without much fan fare. A bit of a letdown, wouldn’t you say? No blazing asteroids headed towards the earth, no oceans swallowing up California.

From 2004 until now, Georgia had the most employer friendly legislation in the world. Labor unions were for all practical purposes forbidden from operating. That's changing. There have been very many strikes after the elections and union organizing is enjoying a renaissance.
