 Weekly Combo Two or three flavours, interesting separately, fascinating together 

This video proves we're all taking the same Instagram pictures (The Verge, video, 2min)While not technically surprising if you think about it, given the same pictures of the same worldwide tourist landmarks have been photographed for longer than Instagram has been around, this video captures how much so many people are all doing the same thing, myself included, and posting it with the same hashtags, on this Facebook owned property. It's striking to watch the two minute long video. It's natural for humans to imitate, and that's mainly how we learn as kids. Now we have the same worldwide platforms to share experiences on it's good food for thought to see how it's all becoming the same. It's not wrong by the way, just interesting to see it all edited together.How Facebook is Killing Comedy (Splitsider, 17 min read)

Interestingly this happens around the same time comedian Jim Carrey urges everyone to delete their Facebook account and for stock owners to sell.
