wikipedia edit

I just got done editing the Wikipedia article for the Philadelphia Phillies. I updated some information on the Phillies' previous stadium as well as some information on the upcoming 2007 season. I am excited to see the Phillies in action this year, I really think they have a chance at winning their division.

second posting on required blogs

Since alot of students use Youtube and the site is making headlines with a recent lawsuit, I see this article being very relevant to many college students. As 2008 comes near, the elections are heating up. YouTube, seeing the urge to help, is in the opening stages of launching a "CitizenTube" section of the site, which will contain videos for candidates in the 2008 elections. Since a novice user can find YouTube a little disorganized, putting all of the election videos in one easy-to-use section will definately increase pageviews and allow for addition ad revenue. No timetable was given in the blog but I definately am excited to see what YouTube has in store for us.

i just had to comment on this

Today in class we went over Youtube(Google) vs. Viacom and since I use YouTube I definately have to put in my two cents. First, like many students, I take Google's side. Even though copyrighted material is going on the website, Google is adhering to Viacom's requests to take some postings down. In addition, it is viewers and not Google who puts these videos up. Secondly, even though ad revenue comes from watching these videos, the added publicity given from watching YouTube undoubtedly provides Viacom with an edge. Some viewers may see a given episode of South Park and maybe wonder what the show is all about. They next hop onto YouTube and watch a few episodes and, subsequently, are now watching this show each week on Viacom TV networks. Viacom is just looking for a way to make a few bucks and take all the fun away from viewers like me.

i'm on a roll tonight

I edited the Wikipedia page for Thomas', the brand that makes the bagels and english muffins. I chose this article because I am absolutely addicted to Bagelbread, which Thomas' produces. Future posts will concentrate on this amazing food.

...just a comment

I was reading over one of my classmate's blogs, and I noticed he was writing about online gambling. This interests me because I have engaged in poker online, but never for money. I've seen many instances where college students have gotten addicted and lost alot of money. I think that the World Series of Poker has lost popularity, so I hope that these gambling addictions among college students will stop.

My blog was looking pretty boring, so I added some flair to it. I hope it looks better now.

This week's edit.

I have made yet another edit on Wikipedia, on the article Friday Night Lights (Tv Series). As the series goes on I will continue to update information to keep the article as current as possible.
