Facebook vs Myspace.

These two companies are the giants of social networking in North America as well as some other continents. Facebook has lately gained its reputation as a place for “universities” and myspace is myspace… Facebook is really big in Canada, probably the biggest social networking website used. Then there is sites such as Nexopia which only get recognized in certain provinces of Canada. Myspace on the her hand is the biggest deal on countries such as The United States, Australia or United Kingdom (Although U.K favors Facebook majorly as well.)

Here is a graph to show their ranking, click on the image to enlarge it.

Facebook and MySpace graph

Since myspace is more global it is more known around the globe and therefore you can see a big increase in myspace’s population in the graph above.

Here is what I think of both of these websites. I don’t understand it, it is not user friendly. Ofcourse someone who spends time on it and knows how it works will go “what are you talking about, its so easy to figure things out”…No, it isn’t. Both websites have profile options scattered all over the website. Here are the reasons I deslike Myspace.

Lunar Eclipse Tonight!

As I write this article, I am approximately 43 minutes away from witnessing the first glimpse of the lunar eclipse we are about to see this year. I was not aware of this at all and I got surprised about it and am now excitingly waiting for it to happen. I don’t recall ever viewing one in my life before, perhaps as a kid but who remembers.

Lunar Eclipse, I’ll use my knowledge to define it, it is when Earth is the center of the Moon and the Sun. The sun sends arrays of light which jump off earth and go over the moon, giving the moon colors (red) :D. I do not know so much but I know it will happen tonight.

Lunar Eclipse Stages

Updates: Ok, I left the article and the lunar eclipse happened and is still happening for that matter. It is bright red, I want to take some pictures but am not capable because my cameras batteries are defective, my phone takes bad pictures. It is amazing. I waited an hour to see this.

The moon is fully orangish/red like the color of Mercury. ALSO the moon standing still has formed a Triangle shape with 2 other stars. The other two stars are Saturn and Mercury/Venus I’m not fully sure. If you get the chance go see it as this is the last Lunar Eclipse until 2010. It is an amazing view.

Some believe you are to not look at the moon directly when it is at its fulliest, it damages your eyes…but I don’t see why because I am fine after looking at it :).

Also some of my friends that I told about it today gave me the reaction “oh..” “oh..okay..cool.” “nice…anyways”. I believe there is some religious beliefs behind this, anyone care to share what their views or why lunar eclipses might be bad (except for the obvious reasons please).

How to Shop Online.

The online market seems to be getting bigger and bigger as time moves on. Just about ten years ago there was merely a few online markets on the internet and a lot of people did not purchase from online stores for it was not secured or as reliable as they are now.

As it seems today, almost anyone with some knowledge of web development, some technical skills on how to work with customers and how to present a Shop can open an online market. Online business are much easier to manage, develop and control. If you were to open to a store anywhere you would be paying a lot mecommerceore then you actually would for an online business (I am referring to an online store). The most you would need to pay are your web host cost, this excluding shipping and customer support and such.

This said, thousands of people around the globe have opened their own internet marketing website. Also with the bigger auction websites such as eBay people become permanent or temporary resellers and make a pretty good income. My father started off his business career after I introduced him to eBay and his reseller reputation has grown through the roof for the past 3 years of working under ebay. Recently he has opened a website to list his items on his website rather then ebay because eBay has interests that are unpleasant, specially if your selling big items.

So How Do You buy something online? The actual process for this is easy, but can you really trust them? How do you pay for it? When should you pay for it? What if you don’t receive your package?. Well lets begin one at a time, Online shopping works as follows; You buy an item, you pay for the item THEN the seller or company will ship you the item. There are many different shipping companies therefore the length of time it takes for the deliver to arrive could vary.

How NOT to raise your daugther.

I don’t have a daughter, but this post could open some windows for some of the parents or new parents. So literally, how far are you willing to go for your daughter? I can imagine them by all precious, amazing and probably the best gift and you would do anything to make your daughter happy..but how far are you willing to go to make your daughter live a happy life? Not so far, if I were a parent.

I just saw a..quite disturbing video on doubleviking.com that can make you go ‘wow I cannot believe this is actually true’ and sadly it is. There are people in the world that think like this family do and enjoy it as well.

How To Not Raise Your daughter, click here to watch

Thanks to this video, I don’t think I even want to celebrate Christmas anymore. And when I have a daughter I make sure she is raised normal, not like this chick or Chris Crocker. I’ll make sure she knows the difference between good times and bad times, difference between Rich and Poor and beauty and Ugly, blond and a brunette.

So what did you think of the video?

Happy Valentines Day!

This year it did not even feel like Valentines day, I guess not being in highschool and under grade schools valentines day is just another normal day. Though, a  friend of mine did make a good realization that that school today was much more crowded with females then usual, and lots of colors in people’s clothing but no cards or anything like that. I guess those valentines day card thing wont be happening anymore like it did in high school.

Haha, anyway Happy Valentines day everyone. Hope y’all get some chocolate cause I did, and I forgot to eat them so I’ll do that after I’m done here.

Valentines Day
