Blogging:

Over the past few days we have been watching the movie Julie and Julia. At first it seemed like a boring movie and the character Julia's accent was incredibly annoying but the message behind it was good and it was entertaining. The character Julia is living in France and wants to experience french cooking but she doesn't have the money to hire a chef. She takes up on cooking lessons and works really hard and finally decides to write a book about it. She makes a book about french cooking for an american without a servant. The movie was about a newly married woman who is unsatisfied with her job and enjoys cooking. A friend of hers starts writing a blog and she decides that she could write a blog too. Since she loves to cook she decides to write the blog about a famous cookbook. She is going to cook 543 recipes in 365 days and blog each day about those recipe. Overall I liked the movie.

Today we also read about people who get fired about blogging. It is a dangerous thing and we need to be careful what and who we post about.

Social Media

I think the video was interesting. The most surprising thing about the video was that if facebook was a country it would be the 3rd largest country in the world. Thats a lot of people. It also talking about how long it took new things to get to 100 million viewers or buyers. All the other items that were shown took years to get to 100 million people but facebook only took 9 months. That is incredible. The other thing I liked was the twitter section. It said that Ashton Kutcher and Ellen Degeneres (?) have so many people following them on twitter that they could fill up those people with 3 country. One of the countries it could fill was Iceland. Thats how many people are following Ashton Kutcher and Ellen Degeneres on twitter. It is very true because now everyone has internet on their phone and everyone has at least one computer at their house, if not more. I have the itouch as my ipod and I go on the internet all the time on that thing. Recently my mom joined facebook and so now a ton of peoples parents and grandparents are joining it. Its a way to keep in touch with people you dont see or people who live halfway across the world. Facebook is an incredible thing that is becoming more and more powerful.
