Internet

On Wikipedia there were 12,545 Social Working Websites. The few I have heard of include: Myspace, Facebook, Friendster, and Twitter. All of the others listed I have not heard of. The website I decided to investigate is called Crewster. This website was designed to allow members of the film industry to connect with each other for the purpose of employment. Users give advice and other recommendations based on work experience. I use social networking to keep in connect with friends and relatives. I also use it as a form of email. Websites that I have used before are Myspace and Facebook. I still continue to use Facebook for certain situations. There have been situations where I have been able to keep in contact with old friends from high school when they moved to a different city to attend college. They have helped me out by being able to keep in touch with them.

Favorite movie of 2009

My favorite movie of 2009 has to be Whatever Works starring Larry David. I enjoyed this movie because of the message the movie states and that simply is life is challenging but you can make it by on whatever works for you. It is hard to decide my all time favorite movie but I will say one of my favorite movies recently is Children of Men. I enjoyed how the director filmed this movie and I liked how they portrayed different break outs of chaos as the human society withers away. I previewed both these movies on blu ray for my first viewing.
