Hopefully you enjoy this article. Last but not least, don't forget to visit my web site.
It's 3:50 in the morning in
New York...so bare with me on this one.
Google has announced its purchase of youtube.com for 1.65 Billion dollars. Allow me to explain to those people who don't know what youtube.com is. Youtube is a website that allows people to put up their video clips online and share to the people around the world. It is a great way to broadcasting yourself, show your talent, and bunch of other things online.
I want to hear from you: which one is more important to you: U.S foreign policy or national policy?
Here is my opinion, you can disagree it if you want:
Hey guys, I am back from a long summer break with a new name. That's right, I am "Activist4Life" not "ShockerBlazer." Over all, my summer was great. I worked with a lot of organizations and participated in a lot of rallies and protests in
New York City.

July 2004, “Ring, Ring, Ring.” Why would somebody call me at 9:45 in the morning? I wanted to sleep. My ears could no longer handle that irritating noise. I picked up the phone. It was from Global Kids. “We’d like to have you as part of our two-month Global Kids’ Summer HRAP.” I did not know what initially HRAP stood for but I knew it was going to be a good experience; similar to the time I spent as part of Global Kids’ leadership at my school. I accepted the invitation without a question.
Just about few hours ago, Myspace.com released a new plan on age restriction. Prior to the 14 year old sue myspace.com for 30 million dollar thing, the site prohibits anyone from 13 or under to have a myspace web page.

Here is the article that I was talking to you about. Read it and enjoy it.

Myspace, Friendster, Tagged, Hi5, Facebook, Sconex, blackplanet and 100s of others social networking sites have been exploded in 2005 to present. For many, if you don't have any of those, boy, you're not up-to-date.
I admit that I have myspace, sconex, hi5, facebook and tagged. However, I rarely use any of them. People from my school just add me onto their list just to show that they are popular. The more people they have on the list the better...it means that they are popular or have a lot of friends.
