spring break...such a joyous time

so since enrolling in this course i've noticed that social media/networking has become a hot topic in all forms of media. maybe it's been like this for awhile but since gaining knowledge on social media/networking it has become more apparent. it seems that there are stories in news papers on how social media is changing the landscape of business (like how Dana White has made UFC and mainly MMA in general seen to the masses via Twitter) & how it's calling for changes in many aspects (like cyber-bullying via Facebook & Myspace). i'm still shocked to see how social networking played a factor in the last presidential election.

i am glad to see that social media/networking can do good things for people. it's good to see that now a days if a child is abducted or someone wants to raise awareness about events, we now have the power to reach thousands in seconds thanks to Facebook & Twitter & Youtube. it's also good to see that justice is being served to those who have done wrong to others and think it's a good idea to post videos. a bouncer is getting jail time &  sued after an altercation in a strip club & the strip club is being shut down (i posted an earlier blog with the video about this incident). glad to see both good & bad coming from these outlets.

on a side note....did anyone find the website that was a major "help" for the mid term? boy did it help
