Friends Reunited
Friends Reunited is now apparently worth maybe 10% of what ITV paid for it in 2005 and it's up for sale. Its unique user count is down by 60% over the last 3 years. Think ITV will find a buyer? Think a buyer can keep it afloat?

Crowds of celebrities seem to be piling onto Twitter of late and their millions of fans are soon to follow.
Twitter have obviously been bolstering their system over the last year - the fail whale is becoming a distant memory - but will it be enough to prevent melt down?
Incorrect usage of the phrase "credit crunch"
Hopefully it won't take many more bitchslappings before certain journalists realise "credit crunch" is not synonymous with "recession" and people with multimillions in the bank do not either buy that new designer dress on credit or have problems getting credit if they want to use it.

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer's relationship
During their almost year of dating, the tabloid relationship barometer has swung frantically between "Jen in heartbreak split!" and "Jen's white wedding!" but as soon as she finishes promoting her new film (He's Just Not That Into You) and turning 40 (on the 11th Feb), we predict it'll be splitsville for these crazy kids.

The signs in their shop windows have been claiming "massive closing down sale" and the like for frickin' years now. One of these days, they have to be true.
