So you are broke, going off to college, getting married, and probably solving the equation to the dynamics of the Earth’s rotation. You have one HUGE dilemma and short of winning a lottery, you are probably screwed. But wait, social media network can save your life. All you need to be is the sole followee of Conan O’Brien (@ConanOBrien) on Twitter who decided on random to pick one person to follow. Conan picked Ms. Lucky contestant otherwise known as Sarah Killen (@LovelyButton) who was getting ready to go to college and getting married. Now she’s appearing on Good Morning America, receiving a free Apple iMac from a stranger in Florida, and free wedding dress from a designer in New York. Sarah’s life is completely changed all because of one person following her on Twitter. How powerful is a tool that can make one person more lucky that winning a lottery. Now that is power my friend.

So when you kick back tonight and put on your Twitter status that you are reading wtfisonline.com, you can appreciate the power that is behind your fingertips.

Magical Macworld iPad panel = 5 guys and 0 iPad

Apple said their new iPad was going to be magical. At first I couldn’t believe it, but now I know better. There is not many products where you can have a symposium of five expert Mac users (Andy Ihnatko, GDGT‘s Ryan Block, and Mac Observer‘s Ted Landau with Macworld’s Jason Snell and Dan Moren) who some how touched this magical “iPad” and not even have the device to create this much anticipation. There was a  few thousand people in auditorium awaiting on hearing information about a product that wasn’t even there. That’s right, you heard me, zero iPads were there. Instead in their place were a slew of mock-up iPads. Bearing no shame, the experts went on to discuss such important information as if the bezel were a waste of space or was it nice to have so the thumbs can rest on it. Yes, you heard me, these experts knew this bezel was important information to be discussed. Here are few shots below from the Macworld iPad panel.

Apparently she wasn’t here either as I didn’t see any hot blondes at MacWorld 2010
