How often are you on YouTube? Many people are watching videos all the time. So how would you feel if there was a “download $0.99″ link under a video you just watched? I thought it was YouTube taking a shot at iTunes, but how could they be if I only saw this on one YouTube channel?

Are you on Facebook? Well if you are reading this, you probably are. The majority of the world is on Facebook with its user base growing each day. However, have you noticed that there seems to be an increase in the amount of Facebook applications? Aren’t they annoying? They seem more like spam than something useful. Do you feel that people get to into using these useless applications and it takes away from the experience?

Twitter’s direct messages concept is something that aggravates a lot of its users. I know for a fact that I am one of those people. Are you? If you use Twitter a lot, then this is the post for you. Let’s get the word out there so Twitter will remove DM’s off of Twitter.

It’s not too often I commend what Microsoft does. However, there will be times when they surprise me and I support what they do. Their marketing and innovation in the past was what caused me to switch over to Apple. Although, this new commercial I saw on TV really had me thinking that Microsoft got it right this time!

Have you ever used StumbleUpon before? If so, did you notice what a closed community it is? There are so many users and people interacting with the idea of viewing new websites, but nobody wants to be “social.” It’s a social network, so why don’t people add one another as friends like you see on other social networks? It’s a very interesting concept if you step back and take a closer look.

Web 2.0 is definitely the dominant force of our way of life today. Whether people want to believe it or not, it’s hear to stay FOREVER! The best thing to do is adjust to it and become apart of the community if you haven’t already done so. However, if you are trying to gain more insight on the topic…who do you go to? There are many sources out there, but all of them don’t provide their experiences. Do you want to know how I chose my source? Well, I’m going to tell you!

It can be hard to decide whether or not you want to be a member of a new social network. There’s a lot of deciding factors that go into it. You know you want to be apart of something that you know others are in, but would you take a chance and join a social network that wasn’t number one in the charts? I recently tried this with a gradually growing social network in FriendFeed.
