Facebook drama


On Tuesday January 24th Facebook announced the timeline would soon be activated for all users. Some Facebook users have had the timeline since they were given access to it in September 2011.  Opinions surrounding Facebook’s new layout are mixed. When Facebook changes their template it’s a social media drama. Almost everytime half of your news feed is about people complaining on the layout. I feel, we need to calm down and just go with the flow. Facebook is free, everyone uses it and things change. It amuses me when I am reading about everyone bitching about how they don’t know how to use it, even though they figured out how to update their status, i think you understand it , its not rocket science, its Facebook.  Facebook is one of those things that can always change but their not losing their audience. The funny thing is when you see someone complaining about Facebook but they’re ON Facebook. So it doesn’t seem like its bothering them too much. The easiest thing to do would be to make the layout optional, but then again not everything in life is optional. So people its only Facebook, its not like it doesn’t exist anymore because we know if that happens it would be a world crisis.

A blog about blogging


This is my first official blog, and I am not sure what to blog about. So I decided to blog about blogging. When my teacher told our class that we needed to blog every week I got excited. To tell you the truth I have no idea how to blog or the right way to blog. I do know that there are very successful blogs out there, and that most marketers are blogging. So for this blog i did some research on how to blog successfully. Websters dictionary defines blogging as A blog as a personal journal published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order so the most recent post appears first. The way It says personal journal made me really think. It made me realize people can blog for a whole lot of reasons. That is what I am excited about. For blogging there is no limitations. You can blog about whatever your mind wishes and hopefully influence your peers or employees. Your personality can come out in your blog, which is a great way for people to get to know you that have not met you before. I need to conquer my fear of blogging and just keep writing but of course not bore people, because we all know, no one will continue reading. Searching blogs on the internet is overwhelming there are so many sources on top ten tips, or top ten rules on blogging. This made me very overwhelmed but confident in the blogging world. I am pretty satisfied with blogging right now and I have established five SIMPLE rules for myself.

Rule 1- open blog
Rule 2- write title
Rule 3- write blog
Rule 4- read over blog
Rule 5- Post

I am confident that my next blogs will be powerful and fun, because I believe in simplicity and I have no doubt I will be able to succeed.
