Blog Post: Identify the two most significant things you learned in this course.
One of the most significant things i learned in this class is how to market on the internet. You explained terms such as e-commerce and click through ad's. Before this class i had never really known what those terms meant. I think it's amazing how many ways you can get your product out on the internet. Another significant thing that i learned in this class was social networking. There are so many programs that let you social network. I didn't know companies used facebook and sites like linkedin to communicate. Facebook has gone onto a much larger thing. Creating a blog was also introduced in this class and before this i had never done one before. I think blogs are a great tool and i liek the idea that you have us post a blog every week. It's alot easier to write on here. As for everything else, it was useful, and very useful to my major.

Blog post – This week you can write about whatever is on your mind.
I've been thinking of ideas for the layout and content of my website. I want to createa vibrant theme with different values of green, blue, and yellow. I want the site to be basic and easy to follow. For the links i think i'am going to create images with downloadable text and link them to the four pages. The four pages will be the home page, about natural energy sources and "going" green and why you should. Another page about companies making products out of natural energy sources and what "going green" can do. And the last page will be the content page about how you can get involved with "going green" and products you should buy made from natural energy sources. I want to use "nature" typed brushes to create a layout. The title of the pages will be on the top right. thats all so far..I'am goign to sketch out a homepage and go over the basic elements again.

Blog Post: Post a proposal for your website project (due 3 days after your class)- I will submit a comment to indicate if it is approved.
The topic of my web site will be, natural energy sources. These energy sources include, wind power, water power, and solar power. The site will explain what a natural energy source is, what it does, and why we should star using more of them. The site will also contain information about each source. Since this is a pretty big subject i won't cover all the key points regarding the energy sources. This site will contain a home page, a page with the information listed above, and a page for the types of sources and the explanations of them. In total the site will have a minimum of three pages.

Blog: Post a review of a restaurant you visited within the past three weeks
The most recent restaurant that i went to was Long Horn in Marlborough, MA. We went late at night so it wasn't to crowded inside. Waiting to be seated took about ten minutes. Once we got to our table we were introduced to our waitress. She brought over bread and butter and took our drink orders. The people behind us were really obnoxious but the waitress seemed ok. Once we received our drinks we placed our order. I ordered a steak with mash potatoes. I asked for my steak medium. We received our order quickly and accurately. The waitress did a good job of refilling our drinks without us having to ask, when they got low. All in all the service and food were great. The theme of the restaurant was good to. It was a south western theme.

Blog: Post what you think is the most important/central concept in “Tribes”
The most important concept that i found out of the book was, leaders. The author explains that leaders make up for everything. Without them a tribe couldn't and wouldn't exist. No two leaders are the same but there are qualities a leader must possess to be called a leader. Godin mentions numerous examples of leaders throughout history. For example, Steve jobs, Albert einstein, and even himself. He tries to convince you throughout the book that you can become a leader and everyone needs you to lead.
