Rented a jeep grand cherokee. Its a smooth ride and a quiet car, but it has the same problems as other large jeep/chrysler suvs. It drives like a boat, less so than a chrysler pacifica. Then, acceleration from 0 to 30 is poor. Accelerating onto the highway is not a problem and then the car runs really well in eco mode. The mpg is definitely well over 20 which is great for a car this size. Not all jeeps have this acceleration problem. The smaller jeep liberty with 240 horsepower accelerates excellently.

Facebook: the best personal website
Facebook has become the best personal website. Initially, during the web, a few people would build personal websites. They would usually be simple with a few bits of personal information and some photos. They wouldn't be updated often since it was cumbersome to make webpages and upload photos. Even easy free sites like geocities were difficult to update. Beyond this problem, privacy was an issue also. The only available option was to place photos and details on a public website available to everyone. Most photo sites required specific email addresses for every person for every folder shared. The concept of having a frequent list of friends to share items had not been thought about in the design. So now Facebook has created the best personal website, and it has become the most visited site on the web. The basic idea behind its success is that its an easy website to update details, thoughts, and share photos. Their large advantage was the automatic privacy to include only friends. Not many recent advancements in web technology have made Facebook possible, only the design concept of an easily updated profile wall and privacy among contacts.
