I am still in college and the other day I tried to find some information on google for my presentation paper. I saw cool link to wikipedia and found out that my college is blocking wikipedia.

Do you think wikipedia should be blocked from students in college and high school?

At college we are told that wikipedia is not the source to look for creditable articles, and we “college students” know that, but sometimes you find information on wikipedia that is 100% correct and gives you links to find other creditable resources.

What’s your opinion on that?

You might not heard about blog Stuff White People Like but that blog just got sold to Target for amount of $300.000 . Target is going to use it as promotional tool. I think it’s stupid idea because once you change blogger that posted something in his words, its hard to be replaced by somebody else especially by “Target” staff.

I can’t wait to see the traffic go down.

?We are thrilled at the opportunity,? says Ennis Blentic, Senior VP of Marketing at Target. ?It?s a great chance for us to connect with some of our most valued customers and let them know about our great product line for 2008 and beyond.?

I don’t know what’s going on but many bloggers are writing posts regarding Twitter and “twitter follow me”.Blogsphere is talking about twitter like never before, almost every blog I visit on daily basis is talking about twitter.

Why?

Twitter is not bad, I think it helps people remember what they did that day, and also it’s sort of social networking, where people see what you just tweeted. I have few followers and also few that I follow.

What does your twitter look like?

Why dont you follow me?

I so badly want this phone, samsung instinct I saw it on many blogs and found this cool video from endgaget. Samsung Instinct might be Sprint phone but what about all T-Mobile users? When do they get and what kind of touch screen phone can T-Mobile get?

Human created paper money and we use it to make transactions, then they created plastic cards to spend even more money and now human created wireless transaction which I’ll be introducing to you today.
You want to buy something but don’t have internet , use your cellphone Amazon created new feature where you can buy stuff via SMS (Text Messages).

All you got to do is send message:

TO:AMAZON or (262966)

Type what you are looking for. And then Amazon will respond you with few things they offer.

It’s that easy to spend tax money!

Here are more information about this feature:

Engadget Mobile yesterday was asked by Deutsche Telekom to change colors of their logo because there are some sort of similarity. I think that is unfair, because endgadget imobile has nothing to do with phones except writing about it and give some reviews. Instead of cell phone carriers to be thankful to ENiMobile to advertise the product they are finding the way to be an as**hole*.

Yesterday I wrote about updating livecrunch to wordpress 2.5 and today I would like to add 5 things I love and hate about wordpress 2.5

Things I like in Wordpress 2.5:

1.Multimedia its the top priority on this blog, I upload videos and pictures at all the time, with multimedia I can add many pictures at one time, and also place some videos from youtube.com blip.tv or veoh.com (Stage6 shut down)

2.Layout of colors, they are much web 2.0 easy on eyes. But what I like also you can change the look and feel of your dashboard. Which I am not saying you couldn’t do that before with old WP! You could with little knowledge of php and html.

3.I blockquote a lot because I find best articles and post sometimes quotes. Before I had to click on “Code – HTML” highlight the text and then blockquote. Now I have blockquote right on top of my editor.

4. Sometimes I write few posts and find out they are not that important or don’t finish them, I like delete button in new version its right beside my editor instead all the way down where some people even now days don’t know it exists.

5.Omg they made it so easy to update wordpress plugins automatically, it’s one click deal which saves me about 5 minutes for each plugin update.

Things I hate in Wordpress 2.5:

1. Navigation sucks! I hate it, they crunch it all together. To add link I have to go to “Write” but to delete it I have to click on “Manage” I find this very annoying. Why didn’t they just leave everything on one page?

2.Lack of security, I already heard some security issue rumors and to be honest I am ok with it because 2.5 is still new, but yet again coding should take little bit more longer and maybe those security issues wouldn’t be found.

3. Categories, you know how many times since yesterday I forgot to categories my posts? Every single post I forgot to categories just because they moved it down to the bottom! WHY? I hate it!
