Thing 12

I'm glad that installing this calorie calculator widget worked. I think that I am getting the hang of this embedding code thing. I went with the calorie calculator widget just because I stumbled upon it and it look cute, yet helpful. And since it has been a summer of barbeques, wine, and pizza, the calorie calculator could probably be useful to me and maybe others. In regards to online communities, no I don't belong to any of those facebook/myspace type communities. I just haven't gotten into the idea of posting my random thoughts for all to see (well, I guess I'm doing that now). I just like to stick to a specific email or text message to people who I need to contact. Personally, I sometimes think that posting something for all to see sometimes lacks that personal connection that I like. A perfect example, my cousin posted on Facebook something about my pregnancy (even though I hadn't had a chance to tell everyone yet), so a bunch of my friends and family found out I was pregnant via Facebook. That wasn't exactly how I would have liked to tell them. So, I guess the free-for-all release of information is what bothers me about those online communities. I know that sometimes students are so used to posting things on their Myspace page that they might not realize that the information isn't for all to see. Another example is that my sister-in-law is a Human Resource administrator for an advertising agency and many times she bypasses a resume because she will go onto Facebook or Myspace and look up the aplicant's name and she sees postings on his/her page that makes my sister-in-law think twice about calling them for an interview. I think that students need to remember that you never know who will see what you are posting.
