Awesome shot of the lighting storm the other night.

A lightning bolt struck the Empire State Building in midtown Manhattan last night, sending debris flying. Sadly, the violent storm did nothing to lower temperatures, which are in the mid 90’s today. [ via Gawker ]

I love Google Trends.

This is a cool shot of Facebook vs. Myspace search queries over time. It is interesting to note that only recently has Facebook finally overtaken Myspace in terms of search queries. This is just one data point, but through this, one can expect the gap between the two social networks in terms of uniques to close.

I also modeled out when Facebook could expect to pass Myspace in monthly US uniques based current growth rates. The result was surprising. Despite all the hype Facebook gets, it still will not overtake Myspace until THE END OF 2009. I think it is important to reminder ourselves that Myspace is still the king despite Facebook’s more user-friendly and advanced site / platform.
