Podcast Post 2/23/12
I listened to a podcast about MLS soccer. It was a good podcast because it was two soccer educated people talking about everything going on in MLS soccer. I think this man created a podcast instead of written text because his podcast is with two people, not just one. Also, he is carrying a full conversation and it would be WAY to long to type out. The information here is defiantly some opinion and some fact. They have the facts of wins, players, stats, etc. They defiantly do express a lot of opinions about how much they like the MLS instead of, for example, the English Premier League. It is a really good podcast not only because in shows the fact of MLS, but also what other people are thinking about this league, I do like listening to podcasts a lot.

Voki vs. Blabberize
Voki and Blabberize were both websites that use customization, avatars, and audio to make a avatar talk or communicate somehow. They were similar because in both programs you choose an avatar to talk. Also in both programs you record your own voice through a microphone or by phone. Lastly, you could save and embed both of the avatars into a website or blog.
Some ways these two websites are different is their customization options, how they move, and backgrounds of the avatars. For example in Voki you can customize there whole entire face, colors and width/height. Also my Blabber person's mouth only moves, the Voki's whole entire face follows the cursor.
In my opinion, I think Voki was easier to use because you didn't have to find the mouth of the avatar like you did on Blabber. It was also easier to record your voice because in Blabberize my original microphone I was using didn't work on that website. So I would defiantly use Voki again, but if I needed to I would have no problem using Blabberize again.
I could use these in history class for projects on famous people in history, in English class for projects and many more.
All in all I like Voki a lot better because it was easier to use, but I would still use Blabber again.

Summary
The article I read was about how Groupon's stocked plunged. This website/business had a drop of $.08 cents on each one of it's stock the other day. Although that may not seem like a lot, it added up to $42.7 million dollars lost in revenue. This is just a minor jump/drop in the market, but it's not that big of a deal. The article says its not that big of a deal for most businesses to experience a little jump and drop in the market, it's normal. So don't worry if you hold stock in Groupon, it surely will go back up soon.

Reflection
Dear 6th grader,
I have really learned a lot about social networking, security, password protection, ID theft, etc and you can to. I have learned that the most important thing to remember when online is use common sense. You will most likely never get hurt online, have your ID stolen, or anything else bad if you just be smart and use common sense online. But if you want to have a good rep. and respect online defiantly use the 10 rules of netiquette. You will gain a lot more respect, dignity, and friends online through having proper netiquette. On the Internet you should only be using it for educational purposes, and stuff appropriate for your age. You should not be using social networking sites, adult websites, or downloading content without parent permission. Also, you should be a little concerned about ID theft now, not just in the future. Because someone right now could steal your SSN and then when you go to get your driver's license you could be denied. Someone you don't even know could ruin your life before your even in middle school.
