#3> Al Capone used something similar in the 1930s called “themugshot.com” and more recently, Martha Stewart used “itsagoodthing.com” to form her “Living” cadre. It’s practically the oldest trick in the book.

#7Jesus christ. It's so hard to believe that's only from 2004.
I feel like that era transpired 40 years ago. The period of time before smartphones feels like it happened in the 1970's to me.
The difference between 2000 and 2015 is so absurdly radical it begs disbelief.
