The NeverEnding Story

After indulging in about every girl's guilty pleasure I read in the wise words of Perez Hilton that another rendition of The NeverEnding Story is quite possibly getting ready to be made.  I don't know about you but being an 80's baby this news was very exciting.  I had actually completely forgotten about all these movies from this time period, such as my 2 all time favorites, The Labyrinth and The Goonies.  It kind of worries me though because like those movies, The NeverEnding Story is a classic and questionable if it should be even touched. But hopefully like most gossip on Perezhilton.com, this will live up to its expectations, because if it is this will definitely have to be a must see!

Facebook



Facebook, every college student's obsession. It began with myspace an outlet for all ages to share photos, comments, and express yourself through your page. But, in the past year facebook has been able to surpass the leading network myspace sufficiently.


I thought it would be interesting to take a network that we use daily, and look further into it start looking at the statistics of this program in different categories.

Fitannica Fitness Network

Coming soon to the internet is a new social network called Fitannica Fitness Network. It was put together in order to bring together and connect "fitness-oriented" people. Fitannica is being created as an outlet for people to set their fitness goals, inform and train for athletic events, share your health lifestyles, and even to find some workout partners!

I really believe that this new network is such a great idea. It brings together people with a same interest to allow them to better themselves through goals and to make better health conscience decisions. Fitannica Fitness Network might be the new hit in social networking, so look out for it!

Groundswell Statistics

With the Groundswell Statistics I picked Males ages 25-34. I began with the U.S. and basically got the numbers that I predicted. The majority of the large numbers lies within the Spectators and Joiners, with the inactives being the lowest. The next country I picked was Australia, and surprised to find that the numbers were almost identical to the ones in the U.S. Granted I wasn't too in tuned to the networking in Australia, but I never thought they were to be as high as they were. The last country I looked at was Europe. The numbers were so much lower then the U.S. and Australia especially in the creators, critics, collectors and joiners which to me was definitely not a surprise.
