So there's this great game called Facebook, and it's very popular with widget nerds and teachers who want to flirt with their students. But the name of the game this game plays is what-have-you-innovated-for-me-lately, so the company has been working on a top-semi-secret Project Titan, which will take the game to a level at which no game has ever been played before nor will ever be played again. On Monday, the fruits of that project are expected to be unveiled—Facebook will announce their new internet-based email service designed to compete against Gee-mail. The biggest innovation is said to be the "priority inbox," which will undoubtedly improve the way we live in such a way that the way we live now will cease to seem like any sort of way for anyone to ever have lived.
