Drudge Report
I think it is funny that Drudgerepot.com got the senate's site shut down due to a link from their site!
Guilty as charged. I have a facebook. Facebook is a growing social phenomenon. Many of my professors are telling their students to create an account if they don't have one already. Why? Facebook is a social network. That means future employers can look you up on facebook and see the "real" you. I think facebook can be a great experience if used the correct way. Keeping your profile professional can give the user a great social experience.
Learning Basic HTML
This stuff is hard!!! I find learning how to work HTML is very difficult to grasp. I have never been a computer junkie, and trying to understand basic HTML flies right over my head. Now, don't get be wrong I can do HTML, but I am not grasping the idea as fast as I would like to. The whole outcome of HTML is very cool. I would love to be good at it. But for me figuring out what tag to do when and where is difficult.

ABC Real Estate LLC Uses a Creative Way to Process Homes
Logan, Utah, Jan. 28, 2008- ABC Real Estate LLC is entering the real estate business with a creative way to process homes. The company plans on using a beneficiary directed equity holding land trust, which is a trust that holds real estate. This process has been quietly perfected for the upper class, and ABC Real Estate LLC wants to perfect the process for the middle class.
The real estate trust involves 4 different beneficiaries. The first, is a settler beneficiary who contributes a home to the trust and in return gets money. Second, is a investor beneficiary who contributes money in a down payment. The trust will distribute equity and money to the investor. Third, is a credit beneficiary who contributes credit and a loan in their name. The trust distributes the property and allows them to rent out the property. Lastly, is a resident beneficiary who primarily lives in the home. The resident will contribute a monthly rent and in return will own a piece of the real estate.
ABC Real Estate LLC will handle all the paper work and make the process as smooth as possible. “ We want to take as much hassle as we can out of the process,” Pres. Bret Cob said. “We care about helping people better their lives.”
ABC Real Estate LLC began in Draper, Utah in Aug. 2007. The company’s president, Bret Cob, partnered with Evan Nielson, which expanded the company to Logan, Utah.
This is a great opportunity for those people who can’t qualify for a home. All you need is a steady job and a down payment. There are no credit checks. Don’t miss your opportunity.

Job Hunters
Who would known that social networks like facebook and myspace would be used for job hiring? This blows my mind. I have mixed feelings towards the idea of future employers using these social networks to hire employees. On one side of things I can understand why a company might want to look at a social network. It gives them the inside scoop of the applicant. On the other side, who cares what someone does in their personal life. That's why its called PERSONAL. If someone gets the job done and qualifies for the job, then why should it matter what they do in their personal life. This is the way things are going, and I guess people are going to have to deal with it. I know I am.

Network Etiquette
I had no idea that there was such a thing as network etiquette. I find it interesting and very appropriate. Having a sense of etiquette while online makes a person seem more professional and well educated. It is appropriate to adhere to the same rules online as you would in person. In this day in age almost everything can be done online. Having proper rules about network etiquette only seems to benefit the user.

Email Etiquette
I find it interesting how much email has changed over the years. It is becoming more common to use email in an informal way. This informal use of email can cause much damage to a company. Allowing improper spelling, grammar, and punctuation can give a company a bad impression. It can also convey the message incorrectly. I think it is a great idea to enforce email etiquette in a company. It will help the company be more professional.

Letter to Cousin
Dear Ashley,
Things are going great in Logan. I am doing very well. I am in my second semester of my junior year and I am loving all my classes. I decided about a year ago on my major which is public relations. I very excited because I have finished all of my prerequisites and I am starting classes that are actually in my major.
You must be wondering what exactly is public relations. Well, today is your lucky day my lady, because I am going to fill you in. Public relations is all about understanding. Public relations, or PR, professionals must understand what message should be sent in a mass communication. A PR professional will find a story and then write a press release and send it to the media. It could be sent to a newspaper, the local news station, or a radio station. Their writing must be well groomed and very professional.
PR professionals must network and create relationships with the media, customers, investors, community leaders, government agencies, etc. It is very important that they keep good relationships. Also, they must be good communicators. PR professionals are more like the ‘go to guy’. They promote events and companies, and also deal with crisis.
As times go on PR, advertising, and marketing seem to be meshing and lines between them are fading. I am very excited to continue with my major and look forward to pursuing a career. I hope to hear from you soon.
Love you,
Alyssa Lowry
