I had never actually played Scrabble before taking up WWF (seems impossible, given that I’m such a word nerd, but it’s true) and as a result, I was fairly terrible in the beginning and got crushed pretty routinely.

In my opinion, it skews too heavily towards Facebook, because if Twitter were weighted equally, there is no way science and fashion – I know, right? – would rank higher than sports. And the photo shown as most popular, with eight likes is a) ancient by social media standards, and b) in no way my most popular… heck, the photo of Farin’s darling son that I took like two hours ago already has more likes. (He’s way, way cuter than me.)
Anyway. Here it is:
