Vanity

One day in class we talked about doing a vanity search to see what comes up about us as this information could be potentially harmful as well as beneficial when it comes to an interview. When i did this search on google, a number of things popped up; first, my blog was number one on the search. Second i was in a non-smoking poster that eventually turned into a bilboard and that is one of the top three articles. The rest of the articles deal with wrestling, and the 5k for J which i believe are positive things. So i think i passed the vanity search trials as none of those embaressing moments have not made it to the web...at least attatched to my name haha.

NCAA Tournament

As i was reading Steve Ward's, one of my classmates, blogs, I saw that he had posted about the NCAA tournament and talked about his predictions for the finals and eventual winner. Unfortunately for me, this year is the first year that i did not get any of the final four right on my bracket. As for who i think will make it to the finals i believe that florida will be too strong for the bruins, and georgetown ill over come ohio state. In the final i think that florida will end up repeating by beating georgetown 78-70.

Viacomm vs Google

I was reading an article from the Modern Marketing blog from the required class list and noticed a post about the viacomm/google lawsuit that is in progress. While i see where viacomm is coming from i believe that google will not be found liable in regards to the charges. The way that the internet laws are written at this point, google has not broken any of the laws. As we discussed in class, this lawsuit may be the beginning of changing these laws to better suit the way the internet has grown over the years. I will be very interested to see how this lawsuit pans out.

Are there concerns of blogging

I was reading an article on one of our required blogs, the Diva Marketing blog, and saw a post which described a place where bloggers could meet. Unfortunately the internet has proven to have some problems concerning younger teenagers. I know that there have been problems with older (usually men) seducing young teens online then asking to meet them places. I was just wondering if this is a problem that has arisen in blogging as well as more and more people get involved in it. Now the following is not meant to imply that this blog is at anyway trying to seduce young teens, i just merely thought of this when i was perusing the blog.

Blogs

Everyday in class we hear and learn how blogs are becoming a big part of daily life. So much so that businesses need to step into the blogging world in order to remain competitive. I think i big sign of something becoming a part of main stream life is if you see it on tv. The other day I was watching a new episode of the show Scrubs, and they made several references to blogging in the show. Now while this is just a comedy show, the fact that they mention blogging means that blogging has become popular enough that the writers of the show feel that people will get a joke about blogging. I realized that blogging actually is becoming more and more present in daily life and that learning about blogs could help me with my future.

Third Wikipedia Edit

I just edited the Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith article my third wikipedia article. I edited some of the synopsis of the movie that i felt was an important theme that was not mentioned. In the movie Anakin has premonitions about his wife Padme dying. What i added was that by trying to prevent his wife's death, Anakin ends up causing her death. I seem to be having a problem with my log in with wikipedia though because when i got to do an edit it logs me off and only my ip address is shown on the edit. Once again the ip that i edited under was 64.80.195.205 so check it out.

Second Wikipedia Edit

Today I am feeling a little ambitious so I did two Wikipedia edits. The edit was on the article Metallica which is my favorate metal band. The article talks lots of their albums up a great deal and talks about a lot of the songs on the albums, except for the Black Album. The band's highest selling album has barely a paragraph to it so i added some content about the songs on the album. I hope to add further detail to this article later in the year. Check out the edit at the above link, however, i forgot to sign in so my name will be my ip address which is 64.80.195.205.

First Wikipedia Edit

I just made my first wikidpedia edit today to the article The Usual Suspects. The article gives an overview of the plot and the basic storyline of the movie in some detail. I added a bit of detail to the opening paragraph of the article because it is a very important scene and I thought the detail i added was an important one. Check out the edit if you would like by clicking on the above link and clicking on history. My name is Kawrestler8.
