Friend+Followers=Votes ..Obama's formula for success


No Presidential candidate by far has ever take advantage of a common resource more the now President Obama. He took a social networking site and turn his campaign team into a train that could not be stopped. First establishing a presence throughout the states. He then got his word out to everyone throughout the Unites States of American via...Facebook,Twitter & other social networking sites and the message was very clear. Change & Progress, Obama stole the hearts of many voters that year. But his presence on the Internet was his best strength . Never before have I been into a Presidental Election the way I was so focused into this one. If you missed a speech, replays of the speeches were all over Youtube. President Obama also had a website which kept you posted on all activities and speeches that were approaching. It was like a show that everyone kept up with. Manly because Obama was in the position of possibly becoming the first black president which he did achieve.

People of color have a growing presence online..


In recent years the Pew Internet research group has done numerous studies into the presence of black people online. In the early years of 2000, the Internet and broadband were manly used by white people and at that time. To think of the internet you think of a computer. Computers were very expensive at one point and over the years to improve income. The Computer & laptop manufacturers began to lower prices and give out deals. So that more people could afford this new & better technology. Thats what i feel as though began this improvement of the black presence online. People that only could accord that technology had it. When i was younger, my way of using the computer was going to the Library. I know alot of other black people did the same as well and spanish. But White people went out and bought computers I think. Now today I not only have a computer at home. I also have a laptop. They've become more affordable which explains the increase of the black and spanish presence online from 11% to 21% and still continuing to increase.

Sticks & Stones will hurt my bones but cyberbullying can never hurt me....Not!


In this day & age there isn't anymore kids hanging out outside. Boys chilling on the porch or girls in the house all together talking about boys etc. We are in a age where everything done in real life. We do online in some type of way or form. Instead of calling someone, you can Skype them & talk to them. Instead of having a conversation with someone, you can comment on status update & pictures via Facebook or other social networking websites. Everyone is easier to get in touch with and contacted. But with the good, always comes the bad. Now bullying has came from the school to the playground, the the neighborhood. Now on the Internet,we call this Cyber Bullying. Kids talk about other kids, grown ups as well. Say you see a kid that isnt as cool as everyone or doesnt dress up to Par. People take unknowing pictures of the person post it on a social media site and the bullying begins. 100 of friends ,100 of followers on twitter, see the picture and people comment, crack jokes on the person with no remorse because they prob. dont know the person , or do know the person and just want to dish out there own jokes. Its humor to them but the kid in the pic. Comes across it one day and see's all the mean things said about them and the way that there dressed. It can really hurt someone on the receiving end. #StoptheBullying

Swat Team of the Music Industry - RIAA


So you haven't heard of "RIAA" before? Well don't make it be too late that you learn about RIAA "Recording Industry Association of America. Just when you thought you were getting away with downloading for free. There's a Internet Music Industry swat team just waiting for you to share there music so that they can pretty much sue you for every penny you have. Don't believe me? ask Joel Tenenbaum, of Providence, R.I., was sued by the Recording Industry Association of America, representing four major record labels, for illegally sharing music on social networks.

Is a couple songs worth "$675,000". A penalty like that will def make you want to buy all of your music on Itunes the right way. Because through the illegal downloading alot of money and profits are missed out. So this is the music industry's way of making people pay. A song gets leaked and shared, thats a few people that didnt buy a $13 CD. But the RIAA catches one of them & a lawsuit which carries a weight of $675,000. I think they've doubled profits by alot. So next time before you think of downloading & sharing illegal music. Have the RIAA in the back of your mind,because they will eventually get you.
