Blogging

We just finished watching the movie "Julie & Julia" which is about a woman who devotes a whole year to Julia Childs cook book with over 500 recipies and she must completely finish every recipie within the year time period.  I thought this movie was pretty good and it was a good example of how someone could just become a very popular just from Blogging.  We also had to read a short article about how people can get fired for what they write on their Blogs or their Facebook pages. I didn't know that what you write on your Blog/Facebook didn't fall under "Freedom of Speech" since it isn't published. Pretty interesting tips and "need to know's" in this article.

Could You Be Fired Because of Your Blog?

Social Media Video

I thought this video was really interesting.  I was blown away when it said that Facebook could be its own country...the 4th largest country in the world. Pretty Ridiculous. I was also surprised how only 14% of people trust advertisements.  Youtube has over 100,000,000 videos?  Thats crazy.  Hulu's video streams grew from a total of 63 million to 373 million in just a year?  It shows how people are just mainly watching what they want whenever they want and they don't have to constantly look at the "Tv Guide" to find when their favorite show will be on next.

Here is the video if you would like to check it out:
