Instagram Junkie

Ana Banana


So as I have said before, I am usually always late on the new technology website things. So I have noticed that a lot of people are using this new Instagram thing. And on Pinterest I just found a picture thing that is pretty funny that lets you know, How to spot a Instagram Junkie. 

Alison: Long Distance Made Possible

Long distance relationships can be a challenge. At least they’re not impossible to maintain like they used to be before the internet was invented. To say that our generation is privileged to have technology is well beyond an understatement.
There are many things that I am thankful for, Skype being one of them. Of all the online forms of social networking, nothing beats being able to see, hear, and talk to my significant other when he is half way across the globe. Appreciate the resources that are obtainable while you enjoy your loved ones.
What are you thankful for?

Ally: Need Job?

So apparently, if you are in need of a job, you can search through Twitter! Even though this economy isn't allowing for us all to get jobs, I guess there are enough out there that they have gotten to the point of posting it to Twitter with those lovely hashtags I posted about a couple days ago. Just go here. Type in what you are wanting to do in your profession and search away! I haven't played too much with it, but I am sure you can find some, um, interesting things out there. Enjoy!

Alison: Skyping into the Future?

I just finished talking to a friend via Skype who is in Italy! As long as both ends have a decent internet connect, then there isn't a problem with lagging images nor distorted sound. It's pretty awesome seeing someone in real-time when the sun is going down there and the sun is up over here in Bellingham. The time difference becomes more of a reality when you say 'goodnight' to a person during your personal afternoon. Other parts of the world are ahead of us- it's almost like Italy is living in the future! Hard to wrap my mind around the fact that it's Thursday somewhere while we're still trying to survive our Wednesday.
Anyway, whatever day it is for you right now, enjoy it!

Kastle: Addicted to Your profile

We all have one person who is always commenting and liking everything we post on Facebook. Haha. Yet another way that people can annoy us.

Kastle:The Reality of Facebook

My daily ritual of Facebook is something like that. Except every morning i also play my 2 Facebook games and use up all my energy :) If you have a Facebook, you would understand exactly what this little list is talking about. We all have our own rituals for Facebook. What's yours? Is it bad to be in the habit of going on Facebook often to see what your friends are up to? Most of us want people to get on Facebook to like our status's and looking through our newest photos. But why? Have we just become sucked into this augmented reality as a willing participant? All my life i wanted a Facebook but my parents never let me because of all the complaints and privacy concerns about it. I didn't get one until i was 18, which was about a year ago. Then i just became one of millions of people who had one. Conforming to the social standard. After a while, it wasn't so exciting to have anymore. I just had one because everyone else had one.
