What's your Family Tree like?

If you ever wanted to know how many people have your "Last Name" this website will determine that for you. It will also tell you where most people with that last name reside in the world. I thought it was a neat little site to check out. There is more functionality and you can ask family members to add to your genealogy.

Happy Birthday Facebook

Can you believe it is the 5th year of Facebook as of today. Time flies
when you read other people's status.Or maybe when you search your old friend's photo albums. You don't want to admit but you know everyone is doing it. The original use of Facebook was meant to share notes with students in college. It has now evolved to the largest social network of sharing information. You can transfer files, exchange notes, pictures and videos. Ask yourself " Why is Facebook important? ". It is important because it makes everything transparent and opens the lines of communication between friends and even strangers. The more information we have the better we are as a world. When we were young we would have to memorize history, math equations etc; now you can get all the info on the Internet. Now we live lives in which we need to control the information recieved. No longer do students really need to memorize facts and formulas because you can find that information online and sometimes get it faster than you think.Too much info not enough time.

Twitter

If any of you use MySpace or Facebook, then you will definitely enjoy using Twitter. Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows it users to send and read others users' updates (otherwise known as tweets-limited to 140 characters). If you have used Facebook it's like changing or reading your friends "Status Updates". Within these "tweets" you can post links, websites and emails. The majority of people just post a quick short statement like a response to "What are you doing?". You can follow particular people or people can follow you with your updates.
This has become so large now that companies are beginning to use Twitter to update there own customers. As an example hotels, airlines and airports are joining the Twitter community too, to pitch services, update travel conditions and respond directly to individual needs of customers. For the average user, this is a great way to network with like minded people. Let's say your a "DJ". You can search other "DJ's" and choose to follow them. Other Dj's may recommend a particular equipment, while you read there tweets; or they may post a link to an archive of music samples. So you can see the possibilities here. They also have http://www.twitpic.com which is the same as twitter but just using pics.

Post SuperBowl

OBAMA INTERVIEW
Click the above link for the full video coverage.

You don't have to be a big sports fan to enjoy yesterday's Super Bowl game. There were pre-game festivities with Faith Hill and Jennifer Hudson singing the American National anthem with the jet fly-by. There was also an interview with Barack Obama prior to the game. The interview by "Matt Lauer" was very jovial and comedic at times which was conducted at the White House. Matt had asked questions like " Do you have your Blackberry on you ? "; "Can other world leaders call you on that phone ? " or "Does Oprah Winfrey have your phone number too ? ". The true interest to most watching on tv is the commercials and the half time show. This year they had Bruce Springsteen and the East Street band performing the halftime show. If you live in Canada you had to either watch ads which included Russell Peters or for websites such as this new one by CTVGlobemedia called www.autohound.ca . If you want to watch the expensive american commercials you can view them on this site
