Most of the television I watch is on the TV or from downloaded sources on the internet. I find when stream you TV from the internet its not as best quality and can freeze. Some hosting website will have a limit on how much you can watch a day or even a g size. You may not be able to find all TV shows on line, but you can find them on the hosted channel.
Even though downloading is illegal I seem to find a way around it and get the things I need. I think when I can find something for free why pay for it? Depending on the product and brand I will take the time and money to purchase it.

When I was first introduced to this on line application website I was shocked. I couldn’t believe that you could use an online photo shop and other editing systems. As a strong believer in the Adobe suites I am little wiry of using something that is hosted online rather then right of my computer. Its a good idea for people who just need to edit something quickly or just for there hobby. I understand the photos after wards are copy right to the website and they can use it how they please. Unless the user paid for an actual account they would have control over the photos (copyright). As an advertising student I would not feel comfortable using the program for my schooling or clients. Its a good idea if you want to fool around with a photo.

The Oscars. (Should I really care?)
Oscars vs Twitter
The first thing I did to see the buzz about the oscars was twitter. As I typed in the Oscars in the search engine, it only gave tagged status updates. I found this difficult to find general information. It was more non-celebrities asking questions and saying who was going to win.

Did you know - Of the 152 nominees at today’s luncheon, 6 are double nominees & 2 are triple nominees. #Oscars
Once I found the main holding page for the oscars I navigated myself around there profile. People say if you’re going to use twitter then you should have at least 3 posts a day that have nothing to do with the company/event. So they’re accomplishing this, but I feel that the information is to scattered for me. There were a few post from celebrities talking about the event. Now this can appeal to people depending on what there talking about. Examples: What are they wearing to the event, who there bringing, who they think will win awards, etc.
Oscars vs Facebook
When I first came across the facebook page I found it way easier to view the information. Facebook is more interactive compared twitter with just there status posts. If someone who wanted to follow and keep up to date with the Oscars facebook is one of the easiest site to use. Defiantly be one stop trip to get all the videos photos and share your thoughts and ideas with other.
For me I honestly don’t really care about the Oscars. I can barely remember actors name let alone if they win awards. I feel I better things to interest myself in then keeping my heads in the clouds with the celebrities.

When it comes to the advertising world its all about connections. We may not of thought this before in first year, but as we progressed through the years all our fellow classmates are actually connections. Using Linkedin is amazing because when you have a connection with someone it will show other possible connections that might interest you. Which could led to a job, which then to a career. I personally just got a behancenetwork account which is online portfolio site. It host my portfolio so I can use this link to send to agencies when applying for a job. As well as you can view other creative peoples work and like them and comment on them. You never know who you will meet how they will effect you and where they’ll take you in life. So remember don’t make enemies and treat others with respect, regardless of how you actually feel for them.

Social Media
Social media is on the top of mind of all consumers and advertisers. I can remember when my parents got dial up internet, I was so excited. One of the first social media I used was MSN which followed to Myspace, Facebook then twitter. I find that there a variety of different social medias both consumers and brands can use.
Its seem almost brand is on Facebook or twitter because they want to be "social." The question is are they utilizing these medias to the best there advantage. Or are brands just overwhelming and annoying consumers.
Facebook: Reese
"Rumor has it, at first the groundhog refused to come out. Said he was holding out for REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups"
I always enjoy the status available on Reese profile. On every status makes me smile and have about 400 likes on each. They update every few days, with pictures and videos. I found that this isn't really promoting anything, but giving an intimate feeling for the viewer. Making them feel apart of the brand rather than just purchasing it.
Twitter: Old Spice
Everyone knows Old Spice as the manly man smell. There twitter post represent the brand to the fullest. Promoting new products and competitions.
"Wherever there are men, there is a need for men to smell like men." - Old Spice
I find it depends on the brand if it will work with a social media. Sometimes you will find brands that use Facebook or twitter but barely post anything. Or if they do post something its just useless information that takes over my news feed.
