Caterina Fake cited this timeline to 50M users on why the worst thing a social network can do is force growth. “My perspective is it takes a while to grow this stuff,” she said to Liz Gannes in AllThingsD. “It takes time for the culture to grow. You need time to develop antibodies to spammers and trolls.” Adding user registrations at such a fast pace doesn’t leave enough time for a dedicated, engaged user community to organically create itself and establish norms, she argued.

Galactic Alignment 2012, Pole Shift, Mayan Calendar, Dark Rift are the most discussed topics nowadays.The Galactic Alignment is the alignment of the December solstice sun with the Galactic equator. This galactic alignment occurs as a result of the precession of the equinoxes. It occurs only once every 26,000 years, and was what the ancient Maya were pointing to with the Galactic Alignment 2012 end-date of their Long Count calendar.These are the astronomical facts of the matter.This much is agreed upon.

What is not agreed upon is what will happen when we reach the center. We do know that planets, stars and other heavenly bodies will align with the center of the galaxy and the super-massive black hole that resides there. Some scientists theorize that the Earth could experience one or more pole shifts from perturbations due to increased gravitational fields exerted on the earth from the alignment of galactic bodies. Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the twelfth B’ak’tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order or something like a rebirth of consciousness.
