Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg Undergoes Sex Change?

Maybe I should save this post for April Fool’s Day, alas the novelty of it would be past done by then.

I was reading a blog post(The Best of South by Southwest SXSW) from a Cyberjournal.com a blog that I subscribe to, and well lets see if you can find anything wrong with the following paragraph:

CNN, MTV, Mashable and Facebook Discuss How Crowdsourcing Is Affecting Reporting: Facebook’s Zuckerberg said she sees crowdsourcing in two ways: ideation and distribution. She gave the example of actress Betty White being asked to hostSaturday Night Live due almost completely to efforts on Facebook. Getting her on the show is “ideation,” while the “distribution” is people reacting to the decision and the show online.

I hope I didn’t it make it too hard to spot. Did Mark Zuckerberg have a sex change I’m not aware of? This just goes to show that a little proofreading can go a long way. The failure to proofread can lose you blog readers, because it can cause your credibility to go down.

If I were new to this blog, and this was the first post I’ve ever read, I could easily say to myself

“Wow, this guy doesn’t even know what sex Mark Zuckerberg is, does he even know who the ceo of facebook is, or did he just see someone else mention the last name, and decide to blog about it to get some search engine traffic.”

Though I’m certain had this happened on the last day of March, I could’ve turned it around a bit and made for an interesting April Fools day Joke. Speaking of April Fool’s anyone got any good ideas for blog pranks?
