Facebook loses the 'is'

If your an addict of the social networking site 'Facebook' you'll appreciate the deep imact of this news.  

Facebook has finally changed it's status update function by removing the requirment of the word 'is'.   Previously when Facebookers updated their status they has to start the sentace with 'is'.   For example 'Graeme is cooking dinner', 'Graeme is going to Brazil', 'Graeme is in the palour with the pistol'.    Now their are so many new possabilities, now you can wonder, beg, think, ponder, dream....

What does this have to do with new media or filmmaking?   Admittedly very little.   But everyone knows about my Facebook adiction right.    There have been a few responses from the local community already, Screen Events Manager Liz Sideris is managing fine without the is, but Chris Barraud is wondering where the 'is' went, local actor Wyatt Nixon Lloyd 'is' overjoyed that the 'is' is no more, but documentary filmmaker bRitt Arthur thinks the removal of the 'is' may be controvertial, Matt Hodginson however has in a zen like move just proclaimed that he just simply 'is'.

Graeme is currently on holiday.
