Sorry everyone. This is my final blog post. For my Media class we were asked to keep a blog. Every student in the class had to make at least one post per week discussing anything the wanted, well it must have had to do with New Media in some way. This project let the class especially myself know what it's like to keep a blog. I chose one of the most popular blog servers, Blogger. Blogger was created in 1999 as a free service which made them accessable to the general public not just tech savvy (cough cough geeks) because Blogger is not require the knowledge of HTML. I'm definatly not that great with computers. Basically I can open a word document and write some paper for one of my classes. I KNOW, impressive. Well this project go me more familar with why blogs became so popular. Blogs are often ineractive or linked to other site, which is exactly what my professor had us do. All of our blogs in the class must be linked to each student's blog in hopes that we would interact online as well in class. We were asked to leave comments sharing our oppinons about the post made. The part of the project of having a blog was being able to write anything I wanted, anything that seemed interested to me. Some lectures in class did not facinate me but when it came to writing my blog post i could always find something which i wanted to talk about. Outside of this class, I was not a big follower of blogs except for one in particular, Perez Hilton's blog. That was the only blog i was familar with seeing that i check it almost five times a day. I love the gossip he puts on his blog and he does it with his own style. New technology has made his blogging even better because he could be at a Hollywood party and snap a photo of how much of a hot mess Lindsey Lohan is and he could post it right from his phone. Perez always keeps me updated on the drama of the lives of celebrities. When it comes to posting the truth, I will srongly believe ninty percent of the this stories on his blog. Perez always has the inside scoop, which is why his blog is extremely popular.
Youtube has become a site that I use everyday. It became one of my most visit web pages online. Everyday Youtube grows even bigger with more videos being added at this very moment. These videos fill a wide range of the interests of everyone around the world. Youtube helps me with my interest in music. Itunes is great and all but I am not rolling in the dollar dollar bills (if you know what I mean). Sometimes I don't want to pay the price Itunes has for me to listen to a particular song and Youtube makes it easier to listen to music. Sometimes my friend gives me a name of a song that I should listen to be cause he says it's awesome, Youtube would most likely have the entire song posted, where I could listen for free. If I'm likely, the user who posted the video might of put the lyrics to the song with the video post. My sister actually found this website, where you can copy the URL of any Youtube music videos and this site converts it into a MP3. And if you have a MAC computer, this site will automatically import that MP3 song into your Itunes. So it is a sneaky way to get music from Youtube videos. Take that Itunes! Ha!Youtube allows for anyone to post any video they please and it allows for anyone with access to the site to watch the video. Some of these people who posted these videos got their 5 minutes of fame thanks to the high number of views their videos received. Some memorable videos became so popular that it became something, which was shared throughout the world. Some of the videos, which I have seen probably over ten times.-Charlie Bit My Finger: This cute but funny clip shows two young British babies
, where the younger of the two (Charlie) bites his brother's finger. This home video became so popular on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=he5fpsmH_2gMad TV's "Can I Have Your Number": this skit was debuted on MAD TV but it was so funny someone uploaded it onto YouTube. This skit features this "gangsta" dude who tries to a
sk this woman (Yvonne) for her phone number in the middle of the movie theater. After seeing it, you couldn't go a whole day without hearing somebody or you yourself quoting a line from the clip. Mike and Ikes were never the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRbkkqZikx4Scarlet Takes a Tumble: in this home video you can't help but laugh or feel really sorry for Scarlet, a big girl who happens to take a nasty fall while she is singing. She slips off the co
ffee table during one of her routines. Scarlet really eats it and the video doesn't end with the fall because the video continues with scarlet rolling on the floor in pain unable to stop the recording. Poor Scarlet :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIwTYL1fwJkHow to learn Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance: Beyonce's hit single became a world wide hit because of the music video. Everyone wanted to learn the entire dance, so peop
le started posting videos of "how to" leran the dance. Some were really good and others were just hysterical. I have to own up to the fact that I spent 3 days rewatching the video in slow motion trying to be able to do the complete dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llnHNigNgow&feature=relatedDavid After the Dentist: I don't know what made David's dad start recording this video. D
avid had to visit his dentist to get a tooth removed. In the car ride home David was still feeling "loopy" on the drugs. David "felt funny" and was so funny to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txqiwrbYGrsThere are so many other videos posted on YouTube, lots are extremely funny, even some of the comments left on the videos can crack you up. I like to go onto YouTube because i know i can be entertained for hours because there is so much on this site.
