Yesterday there was a shooting in Bowling Green involving a police officer. He shot and killed someone. I heard about it so I Googled it. It had happened so recently that there were no formal reports about it but I found that a lot of people from Bowling Green were tweeting about it. I clicked "latest" news and thats how I found out more information, peoples tweets popped up. Social Media helps get news out extremely fast. People tweeted about it literally 15 minutes after the incident.
My friend and I were just talking about blogs and xanga came up. When I was in middle school all my friends and I had xangas. It was a blog. I tried to find my old account but I couldn't. We found out in our promotion project that blogs take a while to catch on but it didn't seem like back in the day it was very hard. All my friends and I were connected through our blogs. I just think its a generational thing. At the time having a xanga was the cool thing to do but now there isn't one central blog website that everyone has to post through.
