American Music Awards on Sunday Night!!!!



Tonight is going to be an entertaining night for music lovers because the 2010 American Music Awards will be coming on with performances from Rihanna, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Usher, Bon Jovi, Taylor Swift, and many more. It is always great when artists perform and are nominated, even better winning awards for their work.

I must admit, I am excited to see Rihanna, Usher, and Christina Aguilera performances. The AMA's should be a great event in music history filled with many surprises and awesome performances. The AMA's have always been a great show filled with talented artists and performers.

RAPPER T.I 'SICK AND TIRED OF JAIL'

Rapper T.I has expressed his frustration of being sent to prison once again for drug possession, while on probation from a previous sentence of pleading guilty for weapon charges. According to billboard.com, T.I has penned another letter from jail and in it the rapper says he's "sick and motherfuc*king tired of going to jail" and that his return to the pen this time is a "real *ss whoopin."

To sum up the letter, he says he would have rather done a 5-10 year bid all at once than to go in and out of prison over the last 15 years of his life. He says he's in his darkest hours and knows he did something stupid, and he says he learned that bad behavior from his father and uncle who were on drugs. He also promised to never allow his sons to find their "manhood" from the trap or jail like he had to do. Oh and lastly, He's ready to "change."

T.I has alot of time to reflect on his life and the choices he will have to make, in order to lead a better example for his family and fans. The question for T.I is, How many times do you want to repeat the same mistake before you learn from it? He is a successful rapper, actor, and business man with beautiful children and a wife. If he keeps going down this path of destruction, he could possibly put his career and family at risk. There is a BIG difference between saying you want to change and actually making the decision to change.

Time will tell. But he's still got a long way to go..

THE FUTURE OF TWITTER!!!!


There has been a startling growth on twitter over the years and has exploded to millions of users in the last few years. There is no question that it is reminiscent of Google and Facebook in their early days. Twitter has taken the internet by storm and has become one of the most important ways to receive breaking news. Many celebrities have made twitter accounts, most notably President Barack Obama with a huge following of over 2 million.

With twitter's success, I propose the question What is the future of Twitter?

Twitter has the potential to change American Business. As twitter grows, it will increasingly become a place where companies build brands, do research and send information to customers. I believe it will have a profound effect on the general public. Twitter can be the future of search, perhaps giving google a run for its money. As far as news, twitter can deliver real-time content. For example, twitter displays real time streams of news and information. Twitter already represents the masses and can deliver more trustworthy results. Twitter can change the way news is broadcast.

However it is too early to assert that Twitter will become a Google Killer but it has the potential to be considered a search engine.

The fact that twitter keeps it to 140 characters or less can be great for part of society who enjoys skimming and doesn't want to read through pages of content to find what they want.

It will be interesting to discover what twitter holds for the public in the future.
