Blogs: Bane or Blessing?

Welcome once again to my occasional rant. There has been a topic that I have been thinking about for quite some time now. And that has to be blogs. If you haven't heard of blogs... Where have you been? And how in the world is that possible since you are reading my own blog at this very moment. There is a plethora of free and useful information out there and if you have yet to tap it I would highly suggest you do so.

Blogs aren't just a persons personal log or journal as it were, but instead they can be used for much more beneficial needs such as sharing information and/or experience. They are useful also for the collection of links for a specific interest. Then of course the blogger has the oppurtunity to comment on that link or topic thus fulfilling his or her need for an outlet. The comments on the link or topic can be immensley helpful on whether or not you the reader want to take the time to click and read said link.

There are two types of blogs that I personally am drawn and interested in. There is the blog where the links are posted about a specific subject, two of which I visit are Whedonesque relating to all things that are related to the works of Joss Whedon and Engadget that post the latest in gadgets that are coming out and related notes.

The second is the type of blog where some individual shares their advice and their experience. There are few of these that I visit frequently but one that I have been taken a shine to would be I Will Teach You To Be Rich, which comes from an experienced money man that has some really interesting insights into managing ones personal finances. And when I was interested in the goings on at Microsoft there is a very interesting blog put forth by an anonymous blogger named Mini-MSFT Another blog that I find interesting but is really more of a hybrid of the two types would be Blogging Ohio which discusses things that relate to my home state.

Okay, well I suppose that is enough on the benefits of blogs. If you have any blogs that you might think I would be interested in just put it into the comments or if you want to know more of the blogs I visit or would like to find blogs that interest you, just post in the comments and I'd be more than happy to help.

Facebook Facelift & Lonelygirl15

Okay first post, all that. First off I'd like to apologize to all those that had been following my GooglePage audio blog. It was pretty crappy, difficult to update and hard to create a feed for the data. And as far as I know Blogger should have some excellent ways or helping me do things better.

First off as in regards to the Facebook Facelift that occured the other day, its freaking awesome. I appreciate it because I am lazy. This new redesign helps me out in a lot of ways such as easier notice of new pictures posted, with people attending events and in general with keeping up with my friends. I must say that some of it is a tad overwhelming and there is some definitie information overload. However taking all that into account I really like all of the changes, but I may be a stalker at heart, I just don't know. Also in regards to all those that are afraid of the stalkers coming to get you... Don't make stalkers your friend! All of the privacy settings are still in effect and no one who is not your friend can see what you are up to. If you have made a stalker your friend its best to just go ahead and de-friend them right away! Mark Zuckerberg has a very good post on the Facebook Official blog check it out here.

Now, on to the topic of this chick on YouTube that has the username Lonelygirl15.
If you are creeped out easily, I wouldn't suggest reading further on...
Okay now that I know you are a creepy individual let me go into this. The internet buzz of late is that she is actually some sort of hoax. Perpetuated to us as a sweet young girl with an exceptionally good webcam. Oh and did I mention that if she is the member of some sort of cult? If you were to watch all of her videos on YouTube you might begin to notice some rather creepy things going on. First off she never mentions her religon on camera and if you take a keen eye to her room you'll notice a couple of key objects that just don't fit. First off is the picture of
Aleister Crowley who has such glowing distinctions as being "The Wickedest Man In the World" and associate of L. Ron Hubbard (famed creator of scientology). She is in so deep that she is even about to perform in some sacred ritual that not even her parents are allowed to attend. For her sake, I hope this whole thing is a hoax.

Oh and those afraid that I won't be continuing the audio blogs because I got this shiny new Blogger, no worries I plan to do them still, just not as frequently.
