Pacasa

Today we worked in our groups to Exastrobated the Pacasa program. Together with my group of four people total, including myself. We took six to ten pictures of ourselves and one another to make a slideshow for our blogs on blogger.com working on taking good characteristic photos and showing a lot of emotion ands creativity in each and every picture that was captured on digital camera. Everyone in the group was really fun to work with we had many laughs and plenty of entertaining moment that grasped our attention. The group was also serious when it needed to be. We got all our shots in and done within a very short time combining creativity and our own personal unique personalities. After working outside for most of the time capturing good shots we moved steadily back into the classroom to view our progress and the fruits of our laborer. We uploaded all our photos into Picasa and brought them al into one album to be prepared for the transfer into our Bloggers. I turned my pictures into Picasa and started to tweak each photo displaying all the ranges from worm to cool colors and by performing different affects around the picture planes. I was able to blend pictures that had personality verity charisma with glowing affects sharpening tools black and white color change, change of tint, blurry after affects and strong contrasts. Eventually I tweaked pulled and stretched all my photos into the positions and colors that I wanted. After moving from that stage of editing my co-workers in my group came to assist me and we assisted each one another with transferring the pictures from Pacasa to our blogs quickly and effectively. In the end of a long day and a lot of editing we all finished up with our pictures being presented on our blogs as a slideshow.

What I think of Twitter!

Twitter, one of the most popular websites and media actions currently used in our time. Originating with aim being the big action that was brought to the world years ago then turning into MySpace and eventually Face book. Now twitter seams to e the new fad for our generation. Being able to post miniature blogs and mass txt messages across the globe and to multiple people at the same time. Being able to find people, friends, movie stars, family and keep connected on a minute to hourly daily weekly basis. As if MySpace wasn’t addicting enough to society now we have people almost stocking one another. Knowing what they’re doing depending on how often they update their twitter posts. It makes people feel more involved with one another and it can make functions become known around your town.
It slowly and ironically quickly can link the city u stay in the community to events that you might be interested in. Allows you to find parties know what’s going on for entertainment over the weekend. It naturally becomes an active market job website if used the correct way. Twitter is an outreach program that allows u to look up people sources contacts you need and maybe even new people that could become your friends. Meeting people daily and hourly by gathering followers who tend to be interested in what you are. Twitter and active community of people that are like u all talking conversing in one large chartroom simultaneously. I personally have a twitter but never use it. I see it As another thing you have to constantly check an update like a MySpace or a face book, you have to stay constantly active and gradually become addicted like other social websites that have person to person interaction but on a more broad public scale. How would you feel if every time u went to the grocery store someone looked at u and said,” I’m right behind you.” To me it’s more of an active stocking website but in reverse format, instead of u being followed by people you don’t know you’re telling them what you’re doing and were your location is. The daily activities you do and so on an so forth. It doesn’t seem to show any type of personal privacy in any way. It pushes the envelope of a fast base random chartroom of people who all seem to hop onto a particular topic and talk about it,
