2 Million Comments

Many of us read and view postings online, but all of us may not leave a comment. Feedback is always a great addition. While I try to comment on as many blogs, articles and other media that I come across online, there is usually not enough time in the day to cover everything. I am starting an experiment to see how many people can take a few minutes to leave a comment on something that they have seen online before moving on to something else like email, another website or online chat.

Good comments are usually thought provoking and longer than one word such as "Lol" or "Cool". Ok, the latter was four words, but I am sure that my point remains clear.
Want to play? Good. The best comment left will recieve a prize on a soon to be announced date. It could be a cool gadget, it could be money or it could be something else. Reading this post does not really count since it is merely an explanation of my recent findings and curiosity. So, we can start with something quick and easy. Watch this 1 minute sketch comedy video and then leave your comment about the video here, on this post.

Spread the word....after leaving your comment, forward this post to your friends and/or online buddies and tell them to leave a comment as well.

It will be interesting to see the perspectives of our society.

'til next time, have fun!

Girls in Panties: Tired of the online Spam!

There are great videos online. They are funny and enlightening. I am sure that many of you have found a cool video on Youtube, Google, Aol or other favorite video websites. However, it seems so difficult to find entertaining videos when having to sort through pages of junk. This frustration is felt not only by viewers, but also by many video creators. People upload their great piece of work only to find out that they are buried under a pile of trash.....called Spam!

This spam is posted in the comment section, forums and as videos. A lot of the videos being posted online is pure junk. I am sure that there are many people who can agree with this. I am talking about the videos that last for 3 minutes or maybe a few seconds and all you see is a computer screen showing a pixelated website, or pets that sit on a chair and do nothing. This is ridiculous.

There is also another type of online spam taking up many of the user generated media websites including youtube. The creators of this junk post videos containing women walking down the street, getting dressed or dancing around in bikini's. An observation of the world of online video was recently published. It is appropriately titled "Why Soft-core Porn Spammers Are Ruining the Online Video Platform". The publisher changed my original title, but that is alright. The point is still able to get across to those who need to understand many people are tired of this video spam.

Adult Priviledges and Disadvantages

As we grow older, there are many things that we did when we were younger that we can no longer do. For some people, that is playing sports or musical instruments. Take a moment to think about some things that you used to do as a child. What comes to mind?
I have recently made a list of a few general things that the average person may not be able to do as an adult. This list may or may not be surprising.
