The Social Network
So news of Mark Zuckerberg, founder and creator of Facebook (just in case some of you have managed to hide from the clutches of social media) donating 99% of their shares to charity went viral this past week. According to reports, the philanthropic move was in celebration the birth of Zuckerberg and wife, Priscilla Chan’s daughter–Max.

Tester’s tip: Jumping off the wall may propel you right into the enemy, use wisely.
