1.No I have never used Google Earth but I hear that it is well worth it and I know of a couple of people who said how lovely it was.
2.Seats ABCDEF of Row 30 is the worst to sit in. Their reclining ability is limited and it feels tighter due to the curvature of the plane. There is also a longer distance to the bathroom.
3.Initially I think this site sounds incredibly appealing! I am forever purchasing things with my friends that require money to be split (Pita Pit, Romeo’s pizza bill, etc). And since no one ever carries enough cash with them, we tend to forget the bill and I’ll never get paid back. With this service, it would be so easy to simply have the text me the money over and I would never get jiped again! On a second consideration though, I think that this could be a little too easy to lose track of your money. All too often I let my boyfriend or roommates use my phone to text some or call someone when they can’t find their phones. With a simple click of some buttons, they could very easily without my knowing text themselves money. This is something that is DEFINITELY not appealing!
4.I have not seen my FICO score from any of the websites provided. Since it costs money I have never tried to go find it! And I don’t have a credit card or have ever had a credit card so I believe to date my credit score is good!
5.This sight also looks quite appealing. The fact that the stories are present with their pictures really tugs are your heart strings.
a.The one case I read about was a repayment. The lady asked for $350 to start her cloth business. She ended up making a lot of money and her business grew quite rapidly. She expressed how much she was thankful for her lender and was paying them back. Currently she paid back $107.68 of her $350. The money also helped but her kids through school.
b.The other case was of a young who wanted to be an obstetrician. Her loaned helped her start her business and hire a nurse. The lady reportedly also sells makeup at the clinic. She hopes ones day to fully own her clinic.

Fourth Reading Response Blog (Chapter 5)
1. http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/drugs.asp

2. Other than for legalities sake I'm not sure why this site is "necessary". Like everyone else I do enjoy being in the "know" but I'm not sure I would really care to find out who supported who with how much money. It's purpose is to keep everyone informed and it is a federal law, but I don't really think in all honesty that this site is a necessary site.
3. WELL this question confuses me! To my understanding a BitTorrent is an application that makes the world and everyone a lot happier. When a lot of users are downloading the same thing at the same time BitTorrent helps you by allowing there to be more room to download and helping each other out. In the book they tried to use an example as "It's as if the sheep on the commons were able to make grass as fast as they can eat it. More sheep, more grass= more users, more bandwidth." Overall this concept is kind of confusing and I'm not sure I fully understand it!
4. Spring Break was pretty relaxing. I went home, which is Carlisle, Pennsylvania, and proceeded to enjoy a pretty empty house. My father and mother both worked everyday and my sister who goes to a community college didn't have spring break to the following weekend so she was gone as well.

Comic Concept
For my comic I plan on a "Superman" like story! It would involve two main individuals who might work at a similar "Superman" job of reporting, though not the journalistic type for a newspaper, but a cameraman and an interview gal.
The two individuals also have super powers of their own, which when combined by their love, is unstoppable.
Though the powers are strong, they will have to face enemies of their past. Both individual's love will be challenged by the baggage they bring to the relationship.
Will their lives and their love be able to stand the test? You'll just have to stay tuned to find out!

First Reading
There are many things that I learned in this chapter! Some things such as blog and podcasts I was previously aware of, while things like RSS I was not.
With things like the best way to post a video, I was unaware. Personally I thought that YouTube.com was an ideal spot for videos. The book let me know that a more appropriate spot for videos is a blogger site such as www.blogger.com.
Another thing I learned about was ways that you can count the amount of people who look at your website. There are mulitple ways to activate a program to count your visitors. There are websites such www.statcounter.com and www.feedburner.com!
Finally another thing I learned was about what a wiki was. I previously used sites like wikipedia but was unaware of their "user friendly" ability. Wiki's can be really helpful and in actuality they can be just as useful and a regular encyclopedia due to there constant changing by users.
Have you created a website before?
No
If yes, for what purpose?
Do you regularly visit any blogs?
I do not but last semester I was using blogs which required me to read blogs in genearl.
Do you find blogs worthwhile to visit?
They are pretty worthwhile! I used to use a website called Xanga which I did not realized was a blogging site. Therefore I guess I used a blogging site often.
Were you familiar with RSS feeds prior to reading about them?
Not at all
Do you subscribe to any RSS feeds?
Again, no I was not aware of what RSS feeds were to subscribe to them!
Have you ever downloaded podcasts or vodcasts?
No I never downloaded a podcast or vodcast!

COMM 201- Section 002
Allegra, Alice, Sara, and JayMy name is Allegra.
I'm from Carlisle, Pennsylvania which is about 15 minutes away from Harrisburg. It's famous for it's car shows, Dickinson College, and the army barracks that reside in the town.
I'm a sophomore at IUP and absolutely love it! I'm a communications media major and am very involved on campus. I'm the vice president of the National Broadcasting Society, Producer and Scriptwriter for the IUP-TV show In A Nutshell, the secretary of the on campus SOAR organization, and do a weekly bible study at Grace United Methodist Church in Indiana. I also have a job working in the residence halls as a Peer Mentor for freshman and transfer students.
While working in the residence halls I also live in a residence halls, one of the new suites the Suites on Maple East.
Besides being horribly busy in my spare time I enjoy watching movies, reading, and finding shopping deals online and in stores! I also love to see theater shows and travel! If I get a chance I also love to be in shows as well!
I hope after college to either be a tv anchor or event planner! I'm currently looking into a Wedding Planning internship over the summer.
I love spending time with my family and friends and boyfriend since high school, Ricky Juday. Ricky is a double major in business finance and accounting! He also attends IUP and lives in the office campus housing Thomas Hall.
Ricky and Allegra
