Blogging...

I feel like being fired from a job for blogging is prett ridiculous. As long as it's not getting in the way of your job performance, it really shouldn't be a big deal. Also, I feel like it's semi-unconstitutional to limit what you want to say. I personally do have a blog (well, a Tumblr, so it's mostly just pictures of models and trendy clothes...) and some of the content may be questionable, but I don't think any of it can be grounds for firing. Sure, I might get grounded for exposing the Internet to my life and my family, but it's really not a huge deal.
As for Julie & Julia, I really enjoyed it. Maybe it's because I love Merryl Streep, but it was a really great film. I also thought it was pretty cool that her and her husband were both in the Devil Wears Prada. Other than that I realy do not have any kind of opinion on blogging, except that it should be kept personal and should not effect your work ethic.

Free Writing; Social Media Video

I guess one of the things that came as a surprise about this video was that social networking is now the most popular thing on the Internet. I knew that high schoolers love Facebook and Twitter and Youtube, but I didn't know it was so across the board.
Another thing is that, if Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth largest country in the world. The number of people that use Facebook regularly will only continue to grow over time, until Tumblr or Twitter make it to the mainstream (or when they target the youth more so than they do now).
Also, I didn't know that there were 13 million (I think) entries on Wikipedia, or that it was more reliable than the Encyclopedia Britanica. Teachers always tell us that it's very unreliable and that we are not allowed to use it as a source for projects, however I always do, and usually do pretty well on the assignment.
