An unbelievable 1 in 13 of the worlds population check their facebook daily. Former student Mark Zuckerberg created the site little more than 5 years ago and encourages people to stay on Facebook and to encourage more people to join.
ONE News has been accused of supplying false news to New Zealanders on the BP Oil spill. They were accused on the TVNZ Facebook page by James O' Donnell. James had this to say:
OMG!!!! TVNZ I am totally pissed at your shocking untruthful account of the Gulf of Mexico on your 6pm news last night. How do you sleep at night knowing you are lying to the people of NZ, it is one thing to see the media blackout of the truth in America, but to be lied to by our own journalists is just WRONG!!! Don't... treat us like we are stupid, the oil spill has not shrunk like you portrayed, What a joke.
And finally the Phoenix have won against the visiting Argentina club. This from TVNZ; he Wellington Phoenix tonight did what defending A-League champions Melbourne Victory couldn't, when they thrilled home fans by beating crack Argentine soccer side Boca Juniors 2-1.Boca, who last week beat Melbourne 1-0, failed to spark as expected in the cold and wet conditions at Wellington stadium.
The visitors put some pressure on in the opening minutes, forcing goalkeeper Mark Paston to smother the first shot on goal.
However, the Phoenix opened the scoring when new signing Dylan Macallister latched on to a pinpoint cross from Chris Greenacre in the 24th minute to find the back of the net.
Macallister continued to endear himself to his new home crowd with a solid all-round display, before being replaced by another new face, Roberto Cornejo, shortly into the second half.
Ubiquitous striker Marcelo Canete, who scored against Melbourne, was the Boca danger man once again, but his team was unable to mount enough consistent attacks.
Captain Andrew Durante stretched the Phoenix lead in the 60th minute when he headed home a free kick from midfielder Daniel.
Boca's only reply was most fortuitous, as instead of a routine clearance, Durante flicked an own goal past the surprised Paston in the 82nd minute
The game was well-contested throughout, and Boca captain Christian Cellay was ordered off in the 73rd minute after receiving two yellow cards.
The win kept alive the Phoenix's stunning unbeaten streak at Wellington Stadium. They were last beaten there in November 2008.
The game was the Phoenix's last preseason match before they face Gold Coast United in their A-League opener on August 13.In other football news France has completely changed their team and All Whites likely to play Paraguay this year. That was TONIGHT.
