Twitter
Twitter is a social network that offers it’s users to send and read messages known as ‘tweets’. The posts allow up to 140 characters to be displayed on the user’s page. Tweets can either be public to everyone on Twitter or you can lock your page, so that your tweets are private. It was created in July of 2006 by Jack Dorsey. Twitter is now estimated to have 200 million users and it has been described as the ‘SMS of the Internet”.

Screencasting Example
The person in the video is describing how to install the Google Android. The video shows how to operate the android and all of the features included with the program. It shows all of the calling features and how to get the most out of Windows 7. The video is very informative and tells you everything you need to know about the installation of the Google Android.
It is easier to describe the screencast technology than to describe the online activity in written form without the screen technology because everything is visual. Seeing the screencast is a better guide than just trying to read directions. The video shows you exactly how everything is done step by step and if you miss something you can always go back to the part of the video you didn't see. I believe the screecast technology makes it much easier to complete the given task.

Facebook & Myspace Perspectives
Facebook
I began using Facebook my freshman year of college. Back then, you had to actually be a college student, with a valid college e-mail address to have access to the site. I always wanted to get on Facebook prior to that, because my older brother and sister had accounts and it felt like such a private group, so I couldn't wait to get my own page. Over the years, Facebook has become less entertaining in my opinion because anybody can get an account now, with any type of e-mail address. Although the decision to let everyone have access to it, turned an exclusive club into another form of Myspace, my friends and I still use Facebook from time to time.
Myspace
I began using Myspace my freshman year of college. I enjoyed it because you could design your profile with numerous backgrounds and you could also add music to your page. Myspace wasn't ever an exclusive social network, so anybody could get an account. The most privacy you could get, was to make your page public only to your friends and everybody else would have to request to be your friend. Over the years Myspace became very boring in my opinion, which in turn led to me not using it anymore. None of my friends use Myspace anymore either.
Martin
http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Martin/109232135761265
I 'like' this page because it is the page to my favorite television sitcom of all-time, Martin. The show ran from 1992 to 1997 and the reruns still air today. I've always enjoyed the show, so that's why I decided to 'like' the fan page years ago.

Barack Obama in Flint, Michigan
This video is significant to me because our future President Barack Obama's campaign stopped in my hometown of Flint, Michigan in September of 2008. It was a great moment for my city because we rarely have any major public figures even pass through our struggling town, so for Barack Obama to take the time to speak directly to our community was truly inspirational and monumental.

My Fav Website
I have a lot of websites that I check on a daily basis, but my favorite website would have to be http://www.2dopeboyz.com/ It's a hip-hop website that updates new music daily and features videos, interviews, and in-depth articles with numerous artists. I enjoy checking it frequently because it showcases all types of artists with major label record deals, as well as independent artists.
All About Me...
My name is Hershal Pritchard, I'm from Flint, Michigan (born and raised). I'm a Senior and my major is Mass Communications. I want to become a radio personality after I graduate, in some form of talk radio. I currently work for The Wolf Internet Radio as the Radio Production Manager.

The social media applications that I use the most are Twitter and Facebook. I have both of those applications on my Blackberry, so I'm frequently checking them. I prefer Twitter over Facebook because its more privacy than anything...too many people are on Facebook, so Twitter it is! With that said follow me! http://twitter.com/whatupdoe810 Thanks in advance.
