My News Today

I read a article on contactmusic.com that talked about how durning an interview with the Kardashians Barbara Walters gave Kim Kardashian a really hard time and straight out told her she has no talent! ""You don't really act; you don't sing; you don't dance.You don't have any - forgive me - any talent!" is what she told her. The Kardashians didn't say much Kim replied by saying "I think it's more of a challenge to go on a reality show and get people to fall in love with you for being you. So, there's definitely a lot more pressure, I think, to be famous for being ourselves". Barbara also brought up Kim's famous sex tape with Ray-J and said "You became famous. So, was it a good thing to have done?" Kris Kim's mom said "It was devastating for the whole family. You cry yourself to sleep for a few nights, then you hire a really good attorney and try to make something better -- or, you know, happen".

Best of 2011

I will start with TV shows, I think we all know what that was... "Keeping up with the Kardashians" and "Kim and Kourtney take New York" And "Khole and Kourtney take Miami" and "Jersey Shore" And "Mob Wives was a pretty popular show too. The TV stars of 2011 would the Kardashians the the Jersey shore people of course. Then movies, and I guess I should say what movies I heard most about and that would be the second Transformers movie, The Happy Potter movie, Bridesmaids, Super 8 and The new Twilight movie that had came out. Now music, in my opinion the best of 2011 was Wale and Mac Miller and Drake too even though I'm not much of a drake fan. Other people would say, and I kind of agree with, would be Lady Gaga, Adele, Nikki Minaj and Tyga. Oh! and Wiz Khalifa because he was popular but he really sucks.

Happy New Year

It's now 2012! Brand new year means a brand new start! Just like everyone else I hope for a real good year. Last year wasn't too bad, 2011 was actually good to me. But this year I just hope for a little more. But pretty much all it is, is to build a much stronger relationship with certain people and forget about other people. I also hope to keep up how good things have been going with school and other things like that.

Investing.

Investing in the stock market is taking a huge risk. It can bring you some good money but it can also take a chunk of money from you. The stocks you choose should be from different sectors and should be things or stocks you are instresteded in and like. When you choose the amount of stocks you will buy, you should always remember to not invest more then 10% in one single stock. BUT even before that you should do a little research on the stocks you chose. Think about how the company does in the world, how popular and successful it is. Of  course your going to need to check and see if you can afford it and check the 5-year performance to get an idea of how that stocks has performed. Then you invest in the best ones and check your portfolio weekly.

Three Companys

If I could own a company I would chose to own Disney. It's one of the biggest companies and one of my favorite companies. It makes so much stuff and has more then just two theme parks. Disney is BIG.

Stock Market Symbol- DIS

Or I would love to own Forever 21. It's the best clothing store ever, they have the cuttest clothes there. It's also a pretty big company too, there's forever21 stores all over the place.

My last choice would be Apple just for the fact that it's a huge company and they have really cool things.

Stock: AAPL

Google Earth.

I made two tours on Google Earth. The first tour was a tour of the biggest shopping malls in the world. The malls on my tour were South China Mall, Jin Yuan, SM Mall of Asia, Dubai Mall, West Edmonton Mall, and Cehavir Istanbul.

My second tour was places by The Walt Disney Company. My tour included, Disneyland in California, Disney World, Disneyland in Paris, Tokyo and HongKong and of course the Disney Company Headquarters.

Tour 1

Tour 2

Let's Travel to Paris...

A trip for Paris, around seven thousand, but totally worth the cost. Paris, France, has beautiful places to go and see that you will never get the chance to see anywhere else, food you might not even taste in your life, and there's so much fun entertainment from morning to the night ends. The thing that costs most is just the necessities, like the hotel and the plane tickets. I needed four tickets for two separate flight from and to. The hotel I choose, the Hotel Gabriel, is a very nice fancy hotel, out of the hotels I looked through it was my favorite, it was in the middle of the range of prices all the hotels were. Looking for food was a little difficult in a way, because the food there isn't the cheapest but it's all worth it by reading about the dishes they serve. Those were the main things that took up the most of the money. Transportation, well the type we choose, is cheap, we were planning to use the subway to get us places, in Paris it's a common way of getting around. The entertainemtn we choose weren't shows or anything, it was the Disneyland the have in Paris which wasn't that expensive, and the mall which would be so fun!

Car Buying Advice

If your looking to buy a used car, it's always good to do research to help you find the perfect used car for you. For example, if your looking for a used car under 5,000, you should google things like "best used cars under 5,000" and searchs like that. Once you've done a good ammount of research and have at least three cars in mind, you should do your research on those specific cars. On websites like Edmunds.com. That would tell you, the ratings of the car, and other important thinsg like that. After that you should be down to two choices of cars and look for those cars locally like on a website like cars.com. That would show you the car you want for the price you want near you, and give the seller, price and VIN number. Next you should use that VIN number and go to carfax.com and look at both cars history and then you would have enough information to make a fial choice.

companies that blog.

Disney
The link, http://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/ that was under Disney Blog was called Disney Parks Blog. The most recent blog on there posted on January 31st was called "Disney Dream Visits Castaway Cay For Fun In The Sun Durning Ships Maiden Voyage". This post was written by Jason Lasecki. He was blogging about how their first cruise of a brand new ship went. Looking through this blog, there were two things i liked about it which was design and all the pictures. There wasn't really anything that i disliked. The type of posts that were being posted, talked about all the cool things this company does, and how fun the parks are. It really makes the company look really good. Im guessing the only post good things so the readers could see all the fun things the have. That helps the company get more vistors which equals money. This blog made me want to change the apperance of my blog a little.

Coca-Cola
The coca-cola blog is called Coa-Cola Conversations, http://www.coca-colaconversations.com/. The most recent post was called "Get Free Coke When You Buy A Refrigartor" is was posted by Ted Ryan and it was about getting coke with a refrigartor or somethign like that. I liked how in this blog it had blogs about instresting things liek about the company's history and all that. I also liked looking at all the pictures like the old pictures. Again, not really anything i disliked about this blog either. The purpose of this blog seems to me, to be for adviertisement of course, but to show what a trustworthy company it is, and how it's been so big for so long.

 Google
http://googleblog.blogspot.com/ is the url for the Google blog called, The Official Google Blog. The first post on there was the most recent which was called "Tech for good- Catching up on Google.org" posted by Urs Holzle. It was about the new technology coming up for google or something. I like that Google has a blog, it seems like it wouldn't but it does. I don't like how it's so plan, liek it goes with the Company Google but it's boring and it has toooo much text so that makes it more boring. The company thinks you will learn and see how great and HELPFUL google is by showing how much they've grown. This blog helps the company have even more google lovers cause it's such a trustworthy site.

Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/blogs/portalhome.mspx, thats the url for the Microsoft blog called Microsoft community blogs. Spontanieous Publicty by Luke Foust was the most recent blog on the site. It talked about, how bigger Microsoft is getting with all the things they keep coming out with and things like that. I liek how this site had everything set up, like the links, and the blogs were organized in a certain way. I dont liek that it was too plain.
This blog helps the company look good, for sure, cause that's what i was thinking when i was takign a look at all the blogs. It's used for advertisment i think. It makes me want to add more thinsg to my blog.

Chevron
http://www.chevron.com/wpc/blog/ thats the url to the Chevron blog which is called Chevron blog at World Petroleum congress. The most recent blog on that site was called Hydrocarbons in Ultra-Deep Reservoirs, that was posted by Paul Siegle. He was blogging about what chemicals their comapny is using or are in need of. I like how they had videos and pictures in their blogs and it looked prety neat and nice. There wasn't anything i disliked. The purpose of this blog i think is to shwo people how much of a good company this really is, to take it more seriously i guess. Hopes you see morethen just their gas. This blog can hel pthe company by gettign more people. Didn't really get any ideas from this blog.

"Forever 21 Job Fair"

Forever 21 is a very popular fashion retailer that people shop at, world wide. But Forever 21 is not only having long lines of shoppers, but on January 11th had a line of hundreds waiting for hours, to get interviewed for a job at Forever 21. They were having "a job fair" they said they were looking to hire 400 people. It began on Tuesday January 11th and continued until Thursday January 14th. Each day was hours and hours of waiting and interviewing from 10 in the morning to 6 at night.

Forever 21's business is continuing to grow as the years and days go by. It's getting more popular, getting more varieties of items to sell, the size of each store is growing and it's making billions. This buisness is obviously becoming very very very rich, if they have enough money to pay 400 new employees plus who knows how many employees they already have. And this was just at one of the Forever 21 stores around the world. Not only does that show how much it's money is groiwng but, it shows how much it's growing in size. They must have huge deparment stores to need 400 MORE employees.

Besides, how the business is doing with it's money but the popularity is getting just as huge as well. The popularity is part of why it's doing so good. What store really has hundreds of people with the eagerness to actually want to wait hours and HOURS just for a job interview? That's unbelieveable to me, and some people actually came back the next day when they didn't get their turn the day they went. It's crazy because not so long ago forever was just a little store in some of the malls, now it's, it's own mall!

Google Blog Search and Technorati.com

When I put in Forever 21 in the google blog search and the top three sites that came up were defendernetwork.com, shoemamas.com and fashion.elle.com.
When i searched for Forever 21 in Technorati and the top three were Chicago Breaking Buisness, Best Week Ever, and Grist.
The similarities between the results from the two sites was that the gave a lot of information more then opinion. and talked about buisness.

Companies that use..

Companies that use wikis use them to calibrirate and help build their ideas. Like things a product they are wanting to sell. They ue wikis to find information on whatever they need for that, so they know everything most people know.

Companies that use blogs to get the opinions and what real people say about certain things they need to know about to help their buisness. They use the as resources to calibriate just like they use the wikis. They majority use blogs and wikis.

Differences between Blogger and WordPress

I searched for the differences of these two sites, and i clickex on one website that said some differences was that, in WordPress you are responsible for everything, you control and do everything and with blogger it's controlled by the site. WordPress has more different type of features when Blogger is mostly just blogging. Blogger is free and has a lot of spam. WordPress is something you download and yo ucan access it for free too. And posts from blogger can show up when searched in Google.

Wayback Machine.

I never heard of the Wayback Machine 'till today. When i put in Tucson High's website, it went to as back to 2002. The colors on the sites from the different years stayed the same of course, since those are the school's colors. The links on the site stayed the same most of the time too. The design and apperance is the thing that was changing, and the information on the site since it was being update everyday. Most of them were alright, the best one i think was from 2001.
Then i put in Google, they went back to 1998, the site's apperance, the way it's set up didn't change, just things like the font the color size and design of the logo.

web 2.0 applications

I searched Web 2.0 applications on Google, and i looked at a list of the, on listio.com.
They all seemed the same to me, but if i had to say which ones did i like more then others i would have to say doogl and infite.ly, doogl is a site were you can rate, comment, complain or anything about any site, it can kind of help you when your learning or looking for a new site. Infite.ly, is a site where you can check up all your profiles on websites like Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter all together.

alexa.com

On Alexa.com, it shows the most popular sites on the web. Google was number one on the top 500 list, Facebook was number two, then Youtube as number three. Google is a search engine, were you cna search the web, images, and usenet. Some features of Google, include, Pagerank, caching, and translation of results.
Facebook is a social website, were you can keep up with friends, upload photos, and share videos and links.
Youtube is a site were you upload your own videos for the whole world to watch.
These three sites are probably really popular because they're trustworthy sites, they have a lot of cool features and useful.
