Facebook to Reduce Rage, Increase Hookups on Subway

The Facebook

In spite of ourselves, we’re beginning to think that Facebook might actually be the solution to all of life’s problems. We love their new Subway application, in which members can self-update delays and changes on MTA and PATH routes. Of course, once you’ve signed up with your regular subway line, you are linked with everyone else on it, which can be helpful if occasionally you like to come face-to-face with people you know from the Internet. Plus, you can rant or rave about a train as much as you like, for all to see. There’s also a “Missed Connections” feature for when you make eye contact across a crowded car. Which, as we all know, is the only reason anyone takes the L train.
