Yahoo

lately, Yahoo has been in a slump. With all of its competitors including Google, Microsoft and Facebook getting increasingly popular every, Yahoo has a lot of competition on its hands. Although Yahoo does have new ideas and ways to make their company more appealing, they are only ideas and nothing has been done yet. Nothing is expected to be done in a long time.

Facebooks popularity has increased greatly over the past years. Almost every kid weather there in middle school, high school, or college have a Facebook. People think that Facebook might start competing with search engines like Google and Yahoo. now you can just log onto Facebook, type on all your friends walls asking them if they have ever been to California and if so what are some good places to go and within minutes you'll have answers and ideas for your vacation to California. Although you are not able to make hotel reservations on Facebook you do get reliable information from people you know and trust. And Google is a very big competitor of Yahoo also. Everyday people go on Google at leats one time a day making Google a very popular search engine. And what do Google and Facebook have in common, Everyday they are making new things for their website and inventing new ways to make peoples lives easier. This is making the customers very happy and when the customers are happy with a site they want to keep going back.This is what makes Google and Facebook so popular.

For Google, people are happy with all the results and helpful information they get. The site is also very people friendly and easy to use. While Facebook is alittle bit harder to use, once you get a hang of things it gets very addicting. It lets the people who have Facebooks have fun with their friends and talk to people they haven't seen in years or maybe someone they will be seeing the next day. Either way, its nice to get a "Hey, how are you" on your wall everyday.

CREATE

Create:

My house is a good place for me to be creative. My basement is very quiet and away from any distractions. I also like outside. We live on a mountain thats very private and quiet. Inspiration is very good because of the nature thats around. I can focus very well outside and clear my hear. Also where i swim. Even though it can be loud and crowded there swimming relaxes me and i can think better.

From Frustration to Learning

In school, the way i went from frustration to satisfaction is taking my time. Instead of freaking out, i just went slow. I tried things again if they didn't work or i tried new things. I would read over my notes or things that the teachers printed out. I would refreash my memory or learn new things if i have too. This helped me with my work in school but also out of school.

HTML

This video was about html. It explaines the basic set-up of html and what each code means. After he explaines the simple stuff he started to explain the more complicated things. He taught us how to do a title and how to do a body. He also taught us were to put things like your paragraphs and how to make words bold text. I thought this video was very good. Someone could learn alot from it.

25 days of Christmas

25 Days of christmas is about a 10-year-old girl that is doing something good each day for 25 days until christmas. She has done things like shovel driveways for her neighbors and make christmas cards for the troops. Her mom and her made a website and are writing each day about the good things she did.

Missing Boy

Today i read a e-mail about a boy named Evan Trembley who was missing. He had been missing for 2 weeks and it happened in Canada. People can't find him and they hope the internet will help bring him home. His mother wrote this e-mail about him. It is very sad and i feel bad for all him loved ones.

After reading this i had a couple questions. On what day did he go missing and what were the details about it. What clothing did he have on and was he stolen or did he run away? I was curious and so i went on google and typed in his name. A website came up about how it was fake so i clicked on it. it ends up it is fake and the kid how was "missing" made it up. I think this is a horrible thing to do and it makes me sad for all the people who were worried about him.

The Fish Bowl

I found all this information upsetting. The world is changing so much that its scarry. For example 70% of 4 year olds have used a computer. Also the number of text messages exced the world population.
