Facebook ads

Facebook is becoming more then just a social website, it is becoming a bussiness website. The article "Facebook Sells Your Friends" talks about how well advertising is on Facebook. The Nike commercial was put on Facebook and helped Nike go from 1.6 to 3.1 fans in one weekend. Because of all the users on Facebook that commercial just kept getting passed around. Soon enough it was everywhere!
I think that is so cool! If I was a high up person in a big company I would definetly do that also. They don't even need to do anything. Just post a commercial and let everyone else do the work. Before you know it everyone will know about your ad!

24/7 Stress!!

The article I just read talks about blogging. There are some people out there who do this (blogging) for a living! They work in a "digital-era sweatshop" a.k.a. their homes. Work for them never really ends. They have long hours and get very little sleep. There schelduele is very demanding and some people have even died. (Not nessesarily because of blogging, but related to it.)
To me that is crazy! I would not be able to stand working all day long in front of a computer! It would make a little bit more sense to me if the people made a lot of money but they don't. Some only get $1o a post. The job is very stressful and sounds like no fun to me. I would rather be doing...almost anything other than that!
