Max Kaleoff''s blog

For my class we are supposed to comment about one of Max Kalehoff’s blogs. One of his blogs that I took interest to was titled "Great marketing comes with a smile". Everything he wrote is very true. He wrote "Smiling is one of the most powerful methods of conveying thoughts, moods, feelings and emotions" and then he relates it to marketing and and why smiling isnt seen as a fudamental value when dealing with doing business. He makes a good point because smiling is a very important thing to get someones attention, sell a product or idea and impress someone. He then listed the reasons for smiling which I thought was interesting to read. He said that happiness comes from smiling and it really does help in that way I think. I really enjoyed reading this blog of his and many others.

Madonna Hard Candy Tour

Being that I am a huge Madonna fan I am very excited to have heard that she is touring again this summer and fall!!!!!! Last time around I couldnt find someone to buy tickets with me because they were pretty expensive, but this time around one of my best friends Ali said shes gonna go with me. I have been wanting to see her in concert for so long!! I know tickets will be expensive because I dont want to be high up I want pretty good seats but it is totally worth it to me. Madonna just came out with a new cd. I downloaded a few of her songs allready but I am going to buy the cd this week because it isnt the same unless I acutally have the cd. I love the 4 minutes song but the others are okay that I have heard so far. Its called Hard Candy. It's definately not going to be as good as Confessions on a dancefloor.

Here is the website about her concert and everything if anyone else is a madonna fan!

social networking!

For internet marketing I found another article that I thought was really interesting. It is about kids who are so addicted to social networking sites and its a big part of their life. Personally, Ive gone weeks without going online and stuff but after a while you get the urge to want check your email or facebook. But these kids in the article have become so obsessed with these social networking sites that its a problem. Its crazy how times have changed. When we and our parent were younger computers were just being introduced, werent popular and we actaully played outside and interacted face to face with people. Now, its all about the internet. I thought it was interesting to read that older boys who use social networking were more than twice as likely as older girls to say they use the sites to flirt — 29% of older boys, compared with 13% of older girls. There are alot of other interesting things in the article check it out..

Flyleaf

hey guys! before i post about my blog topic i wanted to tell all u guys to go to one of my favorite websites, VQUZESHUF

So anyways...for this post I'm gonna talk about one of my favorite bands at the moment..Flyleaf..im sure you know some of their singles...im so sick, fully alive, and their newest all around me. but seriously their album titled *Flyleaf * is amazing. if u like their singles you will love the rest of the album. My favorite songs on the album are cassie and all around me. I really hope they come out with a new cd soon. I am dying to see them in concert also. My brother has seen them a bunch of times and said they are great. I just love the rock music with a girl as lead singer. like evanescence also. great group.

I thought it was interesting that I read that the lead singer Lacey said..

"I used to be in a really negative band, and that seemed to almost fuel my emptiness because that's what the songs were about," says charismatic singer Lacey Mosley. "That's why I think what we're doing is important because there needs to be something heavy out there that has a positive message so people see that it's possible to get through the worst situations."

If you dont know who they are or want to listen to some of their songs go here...Flyleaf

madonnnaa

ok so i am pretty much obsessed with the new Madonna & Justin Timberlake song "4 minutes to save the world". Jt is ok but i love love love madonna. She is one of my favorites. I love her latest cd *Confessions on a dancefloor* She has so many songs over the years that i have loved and and i am dying to see her in concert! I know a lot of people are like omg how can you like her shes so old now shes in her 40's. well who cares. she still sounds awsome, looks great and is still making music. Ya i willk admit her older stuff is better like "like a prayer" and "papa dont preach" but i really like her new stuff too. the confessions on a dancefloor cd had such a new sound to it, they were all fast songs and i loved it.

also for my internet marketing class we are conducting an experiment with google and the word VQUZESHUF so you will see it popping up through my next couple posts :-)

You can download any song to your phone as a ringtone. its really cool and completly free. you just put your phone number in, search for your music, pick a song and send it to your phone. it comes as a text message and you just save it to where your ringtones are. Also, you can listen to the whole song and pick which specific part of the song that you want for your ringtone. people post these songs and i dont know how but you can figure it out if u want to also. its a really cool way of sharing music. check it out its really good!

"Could social networking sites save the music industry"?

This is another post having to do with my internet marketing class group topic, social networking. I found another article which is about social networking and my blog topic music. It is titled "Could social networking sites save the music industry?" I thought it was really interesting and wanted to share it with everyone. Basically it is about some of the websites out today and how they are trying to get the young people away from file sharing networkings that dont bother with legal liscenses. It talks about Imeem and Bebo which are websites where you can share music, videos, make profiles and communicate with others. The article said how people from the ages of 15-25 nowadays need their peers to validate their musical tastes and even like to share any music they have created on their own because they all want to randomly get discovered. It is a great way to listen to music, hear about new people and their music and maybe indeed it is saving the music industry in many ways. My cousin has a really good voice and I tell her all the time to record something and put it up on myspace or youtube. she says she wants to make a tape though and bring it into nyc and try to get auditions and things. However, i think these sites are really good and theres nothing to loose by putting up your own music. Anways, here is the article...
