Protesters that stormed its Madison Avenue headquarters on Wednesday are asking women to boycott the social network every Monday until the company adds at least one woman to its board.

5. Quote of the Day: "Before I built a wall I'd ask to know

And to whom I was like to give offence." -Robert Frost, Mending Wall
