After Justin Biebers success, youtube has been known for helping individuals fulfill their dreams and become famous. As everyone knows Justin Bieber began posting videos of himself only for the purpose of his family out of town to be able to watch him.
When he began noticing hundreds, of thousands of 'hits' he began posting more and more videos of him singing songs from other famous artists. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rc7QP40YSc
the link above his a video on youtube about Justin Biebers success story.
Now people are talking about a 13 year old girl on youtube (REBECCA BLACK) who sings the song Friday. Her song has received 33,885,624 hits but unfornutelly most of those hits were a dislike. This young girl is trying to fulfill her dreams and sing but individuals are bullying her and telling her things like ' I hope you getting an eatting disorder and look good' she told an ABC reporter during an interview. We all know youtube allows people to say what ever they feel but because I feel it is very rude for people to believe they can say what ever they want because its over the computer and they don't have to explain their actions. With cyber bullying becoming more and more popular she still stays positive with number 39 on itunes as of March 18th.
Below is a link to one of the interviews about the attacks she has recieved over her newly posted video that her parents payed for.

FACEBOOK Privacy Settings
Everyone these days has a Facebook account. Individuals post information about themselves, have the majority of their social life on Facebook and share thoughts, photos, memories and what they are doing on Facebook.
I find it amazing how popular Facebook has become over the past few years. I remember when my sister was on her Facebook account and I thought it was the coolest thing! She told me that I could think it was as cool as I wanted but that I couldn't get one. I thought it was so unfair that only university students could have accounts. And then finally it was made available for anyone with an email address! I signed up right away, not reading any of the privacy settings or thinking twice about what information I was making available for everyone to see.
Now it's remarkable just how many employers look to Facebook for a look at possible prospects to fill positions. Prior to Facebook people were so worried about having the best first impression because you can never have another first impression, but now they have to also worry about giving to much information out on Facebook.

Above is an article talking about how 45% of employers go to Facebook to check out candidates!
I think this is very scary that we no longer have the control over what and when people see personal information. We now need to be extra careful what information we want on Facebook. The pictures we now put on to share and remember memories with our friends can be held against us and even cost us a job!
