Put down that soap!

After a very relaxing weekend communing with nature and having my head covered in plaster bandages, I turn on the news this morning to find that anti-bacterial soaps reduce testosterone levels. OK - no more hand cleansers at square dancing for me! LOL. I can just feel all the stress coming back...

Funny - I've never heard of you!

A friend just re-linked on LinkedIn. He's working for a self-styled 'startup' in San Jose. (I'd argue the definition of 'startup' after seven years...) Their website says:

Founded in 2003, Gaia Online is the leading online hangout on the web. More than seven million visitors come to Gaia every month to make friends, play games, watch movies in Gaia Cinemas, Gaia's virtual theaters, and participate in the world's most active online community. Gaia provides a fun, social environment that inspires individuality and creativity. With everything from art contests to discussion forums on poetry, politics, celebrities and more, to fully customizable profiles, digital characters and cars, Gaia is a place where teens can create their own space and express their individual style. For more information, visit www.gaiaonline.com.

All of which may be true...if you are in marketing. "The leading online hangout"? Bigger than ooohh... say, FaceBook? The marketeers will argue the meaning of 'online' of course. Now that I do know about them of course I'll have to create a free profile... :-)
