Persons Most Likely For Internet Search to End in a Rickroll.

(This assumes that the internet is actually a series of vortexes or black holes drawing people inevitably towards a rickroll. Whether the internet universe is actually expanding or contracting at any given point is actually dependent on our behavior vis-a-vis these rickroll sites.)

Churchill

"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

that facebook login on external sites is starting to look like a brilliant move. one of the greatest obstacles to signing up new users for a site is initial authentication (i.e. create a user name, password). with facebook as the turnkey to all these new sites, users feel reasonably safe when backed up by the their fb user name and password. for instance, i was checking out this site, and then realized just to check it out, i wouldn't have to do any signup. that definitely makes a difference. same thing for yahoo, and other similar sites.
