1. It was almost impossible to stalk people.

Some chick in your lecture hall is hot? Now you can just hop Online and see all of her naughty Halloween photos from last year on Facebook. You can also take part in the newfangled fad of telling everyone in the universe what you’re doing RIGHT NOW. Hiding in the bushes outside of someone’s dorm window is so ’90s.

Comedy.com just got a huge shot of adrenaline with the move to new offices in Santa Monica and the “real deal Holyfield” site to follow soon.
