Which is Better? (Facebook, Myspace, or Google+)

 Myspace I'm going to start out with the least favorite that has completely changed since it first appeared back then when everyone you knew had it.  Myspace, was once the site to sign up for and to connect with friends or family.  It was the place to customize your page any way you want it finding the best myspace background cover, the place to connect with everyone in the world, and it was one of the biggest social media sites...

DIY Projects

How to Make Chicken Curry in 10 Minutes I really love chicken curry and I found this video on how to make it within just ten minutes which is amaaaazing.  This will be useful for me because it shows a video as well as instructions on what to do.  I will try this out very soon.  This site not only provides well made videos, but also as I said above, instructions.  Can't beat that. How to Build an Art Table I...

Social Media Changing the World

Social media has become one of the biggest and most important part of every day lives for people anymore.  It seems without it, they have no way of connecting to the world.  The way we socialized with others has evolved throughout the years when we all would chat on the "pioneers" of social media with IRC, ICQ, Yahoo chat/messenger, Aol Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger, etc.  During the beginning of my high school year in 1999, everyone...

Online Photo Editing: Psykopaint, PicMonkey, Sumopaint, BeFunky, and Adobe Photoshop Express Editor

Psykopaint Pyskopaint's site had a dark look to it, but so unique showing a collage gallery of different paintings, drawings, and so on created by users from the site that you can simply click on to view.  It has a funky modern side to it that I like.  Psykopaint is a lot different from the norm of photo editing sites and more so focused on art with painting and drawing.  My favorite part about it is, it shows a list of all the...

Image Hosting: Which Site Does it Best? Flickr, Imageshack, Photobucket, and Dropbox

I'm here to blog about my experience with four image hosting sites and what I feel benefits me greatly in the end when it comes to the ease of uploading images and posting them. Flickr Flickr has an amazing photo community to interact with on the site.  The privacy options along with the copyright for photos are great.  It has 1TB of storage just for a FREE account! This includes ads, but that's one hell of a deal to have that much...

Google: Changing the World

When Google first came out to the public, it was just a simple looking website.  Growing up throughout high school, my computer class always used Hotmail and Yahoo as our main sources.  Yahoo's interface was more welcoming than Google Beta at the time.  It was a plain blank background with just the Google logo compared to Yahoo with news, weather, sports updates, and so on.  I never would have thought Google would become...

Three Free Software PC Products

I'm here to blog about free software that everyone can use and bring a lot of benefits in the end for them.  It's always nice to find something free and especially if it does pretty awesome things for you without having to pay a ton.  1. Spotify This software program I really love especially if I don't have the money to buy music.  You can look up any type of song and it will play the whole entire song or album for you! ...
