Middle School havoc

Posted by Cory on Mar 2, 2010 in Uncategorized | 1 comment

As most of you know I’m in the 8th grade, and some of the most awesomeness teachers around!! But lately it seems they are just piling stuff on us like crazy, I know its not technically there fault, but its the states for the curriculum. But since we had a few weeks off due to snow, and now that were back, it seems like teachers are assigning us projects, assessments, and everything nice. I just hope that VERY soon everything will return to normal, and I won’t have so much to do. And that’s not to include the ill-behaved kids at our school, who seem like they will get by easily in life, I hope soon they receive the reality slap. I warned you a long time ago this my outlet for things I feel need to discussed!

Twitter reaches 50M Tweets a day!

Posted by Cory on Feb 23, 2010 in Uncategorized | 0 comments

Surfing through my overnight tweets from friends I noticed from @DylanParrin from DylanParrin.com, he posted a link to a twitter blog post!

5000000 Tweets everyday! http://blog.twitter.com/2010/02/measuring-tweets.html

about 4 hours ago from TweetDeck

I went read the blog post, and it was really cool!

Quote from Twitter blog:

Folks were tweeting 5,000 times a day in 2007. By 2008, that number was 300,000, and by 2009 it had grown to 2.5 million per day. Tweets grew 1,400% last year to 35 million per day. Today, we are seeing 50 million tweets per day—that’s an average of 600 tweets per second. (Yes, we have TPS reports.)

I thought I would just make a quick post telling you that twitter is now getting 50M tweets a day, which is spectacular!

My View on the iPad

See the resemblance?

Seriously, what does that look like to you?

Huh?

Well to me, it looks like a big iPod Touch, not a Pad.

This maybe good for schools, the average user, not so much.

It really needs a copy of OS X installed to make a true “pad.”

There concept was good, just basically more design features, and a copy of Mac OS X installed.

That’s just me, you? I don’t know!
