Over the past week, I have been monitoring some of my close friends’ FormSpring.me profiles. I have also spoken with people who have profiles on FormSpring.me.

Here’s your chance to win a $10,000 iTunes gift card. Apple is offering a $10,000 iTunes gift card to the person whom downloads the 10 billionth song from iTunes.

That’s right, Facebook.com has been hacked. Or at least, that’s the way it appears here in Chicago. While it could well just be hacked for certain internet providers or geographic areas, it has been hacked. When typing in Facebook.com, it comes up as whats shown in the thumbnail of this post.
