I want to introduc new, up an coming dancers to other fellow dancers. By using Facebook to get the name out to a mass audience with a Fan Club. The fan page will have links that lead to my blog page. All dancers with a common passion can share and discuss the many sides to the art of dance.

On the my blog, I will collaborate all of the new videos, music, events and performances for all types of dancers. I would take live video of myself interviewing choreographers asking about what inspires them and post on the blog as well.

Also on the blog page, there will be a place where dancers can make comments and share their stories of inspiration.

        Everyone knows that Myspace was the 1st major social network that took a way to connect with others around the world to a new level. However, Myspace could not keep up with the changing wants and needs of the users. As soon as Myspace blinked, Facebook came into the picture with a more user-friendly social network. Myspace users were dropping their accounts and joining Facebook. Facebook is now the #1 social network site, but if they don’t keep updating it and giving users what they want, then some other social network is going to take its place.

Here is a Piechart showing the Myspace Vs. Facebook users:

     I think that is exactly what is going to happen in the next five years. Something new and exciting is going to pick up slowly and then phase out the “yesterday Facebook”. Facebook is going to get old to people and a new generation is going to want their own social network. No kid likes to use the same thing that their parents used, right?

     Because Facebook is very popular right now, it may take a few years for the users to switch over to something else. However, from past trends of social media, I think if another social network is find a new way of interacting with others over the internet, then it won’t take long for people to learn.

Here is how it works:

1. Press the Find Keys button.
2. The phone will give you a list of all the places they could be.
3. Check off which places you’ve looked until you find your keys!

There are many t.v. dance shows on that are becoming more and more popular everyday.

 For example:

• So You Think You Can Dance?
• Dancing With the Stars
• America’s Best Dance Crew

But in the real dance world…dancers do not always get the spotlight of television. So we rely on social networks like Youtube and Facebook to show off our talents and creativity. I want to show you all styles of dance from dancers that are working hard to live their dream!  I will show you videos from maily from Youtube and some from Facebook.

Some of these videos will be of dancers and choreographers that I have discovered and others will be of me and people I know personally and want to share with you!

1st person I want to show you is a hip hop choreographer named Luam. She has a unique style of hip hop that is hard to find. Her website is awesome and she even has her own blog! Hope you like it!

After watching some videos of each company’s development and how each CEO  managed things, I realized Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are very different. Steve Jobs of Apple, was a more motivational manager and Bill Gates of Microsoft was more competitive. Bill Gates is said to be very smart,  hard-working and known for his strict management of his company. He is very competitive even with his own friends.

Steve Jobs on the other hand, is known for being more about innovation of new products and knowing what the consumer wanted. He knew that competing with Microsoft was not the way to become successful. Jobs needed to make his product different from anything that Gates would produce. Apple software and hardware would look nothing like Microsoft’s software and hardware. Apple’ software is said to be more user-friendly than Microsoft’s software. Microsoft was more complicated to use by the average consumer. Because their software was so different, people tended to either choose Apple or Microsoft PCs…this was a huge gap between the two computers.

Here is video of an advertisement Mac vs. PC:

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuqZ8AqmLPY  It makes fun of how complicated PCs can be.

Today, Apple is the company to beat. Apple now had successful computers, but they didn’t want to stop just there. Apple has a wider range of products to sell, such as the ipod music player, the iphone, and itunes. Having more than just a great computer made Apple become even more successful than Microsoft. The Apple company ran under Steve Jobs are continually innovating the technology industry. Every time they come out with a new product and people begin to buy it, you turn around and there is a new cooler, more advanced product coming out and that is why they will be successful for many more years.

We do all styles of dance:

• Hip Hop
• Jazz
• Contemporary
• Tap

It’s amazing how far the technology of computers have come in just a few decades…

Computers started out as HUGE message processors as just a way to communicate from one machine to another, then later became PCs…and now they’re in the hands of most Americans today! Unbelievable!
