Presently, social networking is ‘in’ and whether it’s myspace, facebook, or tagged, everyone seems to be caught up in this buzz. The latest on the scene is of course twitter and who doesn’t love this site? At first, I couldn’t understand what was so cool about answering a simple sentence ‘ What are you doing?’ and allowing your friends/followers to see. After a few weeks, I was hooked and I still don’t understand why twitter is so popular, not just among the everyday people like us, but among celebrities as well! Here are just a few reasons why I love twitter:
1. It’s simple. In 140 characters or less you can easily communicate with others and let them know what you’re doing, your mood, your random thoughts etc. Similarly others can easily share with you.
2. Limited information is required. Unlike many other social networking sites, twitter does not require an entire profile; your name, location and a small bio are sufficient (this is all displayed in a tiny box at the top of your personal page). People who follow you (read your tweets) should at least know you personally, thus not much information is necessary anyway.
3. It allows users to quickly share links to their own websites or other interesting pages.
4. Everyone’s on twitter! It links celebrities to their fans and for those who are fascinated by famous folk, this is an awesome tool.
5. It’s a news source. I found out on twitter that Michael Jackson (RIP) had died, before seeing/hearing it on the news.
Twitter has quickly replaced facebook and myspace for me. Do you tweet? Why do you like twitter?
Tis the season to spend money-Christmas
As the December 25th draws near, everyone is rushing to put up the decorations, plan the menu, plan the parties and ofcourse complete the shopping. Now shopping is a natural habit for most women but most can agree that shopping for men is never fun. The usual gift ideas would include a cologne, a tie (if he’s a tie guy), a pen set (if he’s that kind of guy), a watch (if he’ll actually use it instead of his phone), clothes (if he doesn’t have enough already), or shoes. If I was a guy I’d be tired of receiving the same things every year. I decided to look up a new gift idea that would not render me the same eye-roll. While searching one of my new shopping sites gifts.com, I saw this interesting gift idea..a piece of the moon!
Doesn’t that sound like a scam? Well apparently it’s not. Anyone can now own at least an acre of land on the moon for under $40. How does it work? You pay for the ‘package’ online and you receive a lunar deed (stating the actual location of the property), a lunar map (revealing the exact location of your plot), a single page document outlining lunar codes covenants and restrictions, and ‘custom packaging’. Some companies include a satellite photograph of your new property. So basically you’re paying for pieces of paper. What do the companies do with the money they receive? All funds are supposedly used for lunar projects and other programs which seek to return humans to the moon. There are many lunar real estate agencies out there including LunarLand and LunarRegistry, who offer a variety of packages.
It still sounds fishy to me. But maybe we have come thus far as a people..maybe.
I am officially the biggest fan of Green Day and Owl City. I already appreciated their music but when these two songs came out..well I just love them even more!
Today is the final day of a year for me and I am super excited about tomorrow! I am looking forward to the new year, success, getting everything on my birthday wish list and everything else I continually pray for. The only thing I’m not too excited about is ofcourse…AGING! Here a couple signs that you’re getting old (I’m already experiencing a couple of them and I know I’m not the only one)
1.Everything hurts and what doesn’t hurt doesn’t work.
2.You feel like the morning after, and you haven’t been anywhere.
3.You look forward to a dull evening.(guilty)
4.You turn out the light for economic reasons rather than romantic ones. (guilty)
5.Dialing long distance wears you out.
6.You just can’t stand people who are intolerant.
7.The little grey haired lady you help across the street is your wife.
8.You burn the midnight oil until 9 pm. (GUILTY!)
9.A dripping faucet causes an uncontrollable bladder urge.
10.You know all the answers, but nobody asks you the questions.
