W. to visit Facebook HQ & The great UK chill

The interesting character that we shall only refer to as W. is apparently making a stop off to visit Facebook HQ to be involved in a Facebook Live event.  One would assume most of the questions being asked of him will come from Facebook staff (possibly even Zuckerburg himself), although a few select questions will probably come from the live chat happening during the event.

I just love the power of social media & how you can collate whats happening over an entire country / the world just by looking into what people are posting & where those posts are from.  Take this for example.  Every time big weather events happen it's inevitable that people will tweet about them, so this guy in the UK has made a map of the snowfalls in real-time depending on peoples tweets, where they tweeted from and the intensity of the snow as described in their tweet. Pure brilliance!
