Facebook Vs. Twitter, and the demise of Myspace (Sorry Tom!!!)




So... You know somebody has to write about these social networks. I myself, have pretty much all of them. With me being a computer buff/nerd, for lack of better words, I can't help but look into all of them. The two most popular sites right now are Facebook and Twitter. Which one do you like? Me personally I like them both. When I have something important to say or when I'm looking for an opinion or just want a good laugh, I'm logging onto Twitter. But, if I want to talk to my MOM, SUPERVISOR, or long lost people that I haven't talked to in ages, Facebook shall be summoned in a quick tab. I mean, it's getting to the point where CHILDREN who shouldn't even know how to use a computer, have Facebook pages. Picture postings of vacations, birthdays, and even games... All Facebook. Trending topics, everyday life updates, even GPS locations... All Twitter.

Now, I know we all had/have a myspace but you either a) Don't EVER check it... b) Don't care to EVER check it... or c) You don't know the password or even username to EVER check it... LOL! Do you see where I'm getting at?! I mean don't get me wrong from 2006 all the way to like 2007 in a half LMBO... Myspace was like the most exclusive thing ever! But as it became to complicated to navigate, the uprising of Facebook and Twitter, and a couple of incidents of bad media... Myspace took a sour fall in our Social Network pool.

Back in high school, all I did was surf the web. I mean in my vocational I pretty much finished all my work weeks before school was over. I had a Myspace before it was popular, as well as a Facebook. I've seen the rise and fall of many sites such as... Tagged, Hi5, and Bebo just to name a few. Now why do you suspect some sites did better than others?! That is a good question, I guess you could look back and see what it was about those sites that most people didn't like. Then you have to think about how often you get spammed, it's all very interesting.

All in all, in regards to the "Social Networks" some people 'Love to Hate em', and some people 'Hate to Love em'!!! Some people need these sites to connect to the social world, and guess who knows it?! Thats right!!! The phone companies, the site creators, and even your peers! I mean really, look at the iPhone's, Evo's, even the Droid's... APPS APPS APPS... Lol! You got your UberTwitter, Facebook Mobile... MyspaceMobile?! HAHAHA SIKE!!! (Sorry Tom!)

But seriously, What do you think? How do you feel about it all... I'm asking because I really want to know!!! Leave me a comment. Tell me how you really feel.

Man Please Watch This!!!

Jay's 21st (Surprise Mudda Sucka!!)

So... this is how it all started. Jay's mom called us and said "Hey, Im throwing Jay a surprise party so i need ya'll help" Of course, I'm thinking I know exactly what to do lol.

Long story short, we got a hotel for a weekend and on Friday (The day of the party) We told him we were gonna go clubbing. Mind you, it's February so we in the snow and we have Tuxedo's on... Sound crazy yet?

Well, we took him to about 4 clubs downtown just shooting the breeze... So we go all the way near my house (which was near the party) but we stopped at my house instead of going there lol Anyway, we get to the party there's fam, friends, and he just as happy as could be!

Here are some of the pics:









Problems with the New 'Invincible iPhone 4'



So I was reading up on my technology like I try to do either everyday, or every other day, and I came across an interesting topic. Evidently, people are having a few issues with their new iPhone. I'm looking at what they're saying right now on apple's website. I'm going to post the link but not after I put in my two cents. I personally wanted an iPhone until I looked further in the HTC Evo by Sprint.

The first problem (and most common) was the signal loss antenna. Basically when you touch the antenna band inside the phone by just holding it, it apparently reduces the signal drastically. I'm reading further and it says Apple's engineers are making a new antenna that only works with one of Apple's cases. LOL And it's 30 bucks! (Trying to get them extra ends I see...)

Another problem, much smaller than loosing reception, but that's only for people who have their sound up. Apple switched the volume buttons on some of the iPhones (So up is down and down is up) So if I was trying to turn my ringer down before I went in to work, and someone called, it would not only ring but it would ring louder than what it would before I thought I turned it down.

My favorite problem after reading all of them is right here! The front and back of the iPhone is made out of glass. And for people who get "Driver's Lap" (when you get out the car and drop your phone), you're in trouble. From my understanding, you can drop this phone from normal 'Oops' height and it will SHATTER! I don't know about y'all but thats an issue. They made it out of glass just so that the iPhone users can spend more money on repairs.

Now at my job one of my boys gave me the scoop on AT&T. What he said in a nut-shell is that AT&T has so many people on they network that its going to be almost impossible for everyone to have that good ol' "Best reception" that everyone wants. I mean they supposed to have 3g almost throughout the whole nation, but where we live now, my brother walks around the house with his iPhone in the air looking Batman with a grappling hook.

So, reading what I've read today and knowing how much I have to put down for a deposit, Im thinking #TeamEvo. Don't judge me LOL. Sprint has had the best network since we had "Race Car chirps" Well, with all of this being said, Let me know what you think. Do you have an iPhone? How does it treat you? or Do you have an Evo? Should I get it? (Post it, I'm here all week)
