What a great site Mashable is! How else would I know all of this … basically useless but VERY interesting info about our contemporary (online) culture!

This morning brought the report that YouTube now has a billion views per day … not just a billion visits to their website, but a billion videos actually WATCHED. A day.

Translation: a lot of people have WAY too much time on their hands!!! Not ME, of course, just … other people. Yeah, that’s it. ‘Cause in the montage of greatest YouTube clips … I hadn’t seen ALL of them!

Responding to this week’s news of phishing scams leading to thousands of passwords to online email accounts being published online (Mashable has more on this story here and here, with links to the original news reports), Google and Microsoft are attempting to educate consumers about how to choose strong passwords, etc.

Just so we’re clear, if my password gets posted online, does it really matter how strong the password was to start with???

Some place where they research “web stuff” just came out with a report that there are now 4.1 billions text-messages A DAY here on Planet Earth. A DAY!!! That’s A LOT of text messages, especially given the (rather large) proportion of the world that doesn’t have access to text messages.

Btw, thanks to Mashable, my new favorite daily read, for sharing this little tidbit …
