Myspace a Social Networking Website

MySpace is a popular social networking website offering an interactive, user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, blogs, groups, photos, music and videos for teenagers and adults internationally. MySpace, with 70 million visitors, has become the digital equivalent of hanging out at the mall for today's average person, who load the site with photos, news about music groups and detailed profiles of their likes and dislikes. I find MySpace to be beneficial to anyone as long as safety measures are followed. It is an interactive social network that allows the user to be in touch with people from all over the world and that in itself is a positive experience. The power of the Myspace revolution is indeed growing, and growing extremely fast! The ability for any user to gain a voice is overwhelming, and the ease of communication with friends (and potential new friends) is unsurpassed. It's also an amazing resource for budding bands and solo artists; it has just about made the traditional 'band website' obsolete. Increasing numbers of musicians are relying soley on a Myspace profile to transmit their music and announcements. Believe it or not, social networks have become some of the highest traffic sites on the Web. Millions of people, especially high school and college students, have joined them because of the ease of interactivity between the site's users.

Budgets Cuts :(

With the announcement of potential state budget cuts to education in the near future, local school districts are preparing for the worst — which includes possible teacher layoffs. Florida public schools have been choked by tight budgets for as long as any student or teacher can remember, but 2009 is expected to be an exceptionally tough fiscal year. $284 million from Miami-Dade County Public Schools’ budget will be cut due to the expected $75 million decrease in state funding and over $200 in increased costs; causing teachers to worry not only about Florida’s economy, but also about the future of public school education. I understand that fiscally we are in a difficult time, but what must realize the teacher’s point of view. I do not believe that education should be the area to cut. We do not need to give money to build new stadiums or to break down old stadiums. It is interesting to note that while district leaders of Miami schools are considering school closings that will affect thousands of Miami residents, they are so far unwilling to even think about budget cuts for themselves. It's hard to see how they have the best interests of the students attending Miami schools if they are not interested in making sacrifices themselves. Why should the kids make all the sacrifices? They should be getting the best, not closing the doors of their schools due to a small student population.
