MySpace and Facebook are two websites that are and have been commonly used to chat with friends online. MySpace and Facebook are huge parts of our society's communication methods and the way people connect with eachother. MySpace has been losings a lot more people due to the fact that it is now mainly used for upcoming artists and celeberties to promote themselves, in order to build up a fanbase and get more people to come to their gigs.
Facebook on the otherhand is greatly used for communicating and is a social networking site. Facebook has many games and applications for its users to play and explore with. Facebook seems like a pretty safe website but what you are not realizing when you sign up is that the website is allowed to give out some of your information to others whenever they feel like it and you can not argue because it is said in the contract which most likely is unread.
Facebook is used by all ages of people ranging from about 10 years old to people in their 60's or mpossible even older.

Critical Analysis in a Current Trend in Technological Communication
Blogging has become very popular throughout the years. People have gained many opportunities because of this which has given them insight to many new experiences. In the past many people didn’t know what this technology was or even how to use a computer but over time people began to learn things and became more aware of how technology works. People used to have a harder time getting there work done at a fast pace because they would have to write it by hand which takes more time.
Although technology has improved significantly over the years it is still in the process of being improved each and every day. Many people take technology for granted but that shouldn’t be because what about all of those people from the ancient times who had no sense of technology at all. People are also abusing the internet making it unsafe and unpredictable of what you may find when you are typing something in to search at Google. Not only are people abusing the internet but it is a known fact that many children are abusing each other on technology websites those including face book, twitter and many others too! In the last year there have been a couple of deaths associated with these sites resulting in uncomfortable situations.
Some times on blogging sites such as My Space you think that you are talking to someone about your age but it’s really a 40 year old man. This is unsafe for the children in society and should not be happening. My Space may seem like a good thing but it actually is the opposite. I feel that unless you need one of these sites for work then you should not be using them.
People all over the world write on them and what you write is saved for eternity on the computer which many people don’t know at the time they are writing about what they are. This is how many people of all ages are getting hurt as well as addicted. This does not look like a good sign for the future.

The Never Ending Game
The game between the Met's and the St. Louis Cardinals ended in a very big win for the Mets. It was a very tough and well played game and both teams were playing their hearts out. Neither team allowed any runs until the 17th inning, when finally both teams scored a run making it even more of a challenge.
Stars On Ice Skating Show
This weekend on April 17, I wentto Nassua Colisium to see Smuckers Stars on Ice. I wasn't sure how the production was going to be due to the small amout of preparation time due to it being a Winter Olympic year. Many great skaters were in it including some favorites like Sasha Cohen, Evan Lysacek, Todd Eldredge, Yuka Sato, as well as Michael Weiss.
This show was better than last year and I appreciated every moment of it. Since I am part of the fan club I was able to register ahead of time for the meet and greet and was actually able to meet and get autographs from two of the skaters being Tanith Belbin and Ben Agusto.

The Yankees Win Again
Well, the Yankees for the most part have had a great start to the season. They have played nine games so far with a record of 6 and 3 meaning 6 wins and 3 losses. They had made various changes to there lineup from last year getting rid of Matsui, Cabrera,as well as Damon so I wasn't sure how well they would do this season. The Yankees in return got Javiar Vasquez, Randy Winn and Curtis Granderson who has made great contributions to the team.
