Preakness

I will admit this class got me interested in horse racing. Although I had little success betting Curlin at the Kentucky Derby, I won $125 betting him straight to win, and $210 on the trifecta box 4,7,8. Thanks Professor Brown for the good advice, Curlin was the horse.

Wikipedia Edit

Antoher addition to the online poker page on wikipedia. "In addition online poker sites used systems to detect a players usage of programs such as Poker Prophecy; which give a player an unfair advantage by giving information about the players at the table." I had a bad experience with this as attempted to use poker prophecy and was boted off party poker after having much success. Oh well!

Wikipedia Edit

I added a little fun fact to my town's wikipedia page (Haddonfield, NJ). This edit had to do with the harosaurus: "the hadrosaurus was a duck-billed dinosaur (a plant-eater) discovered and lived during Cretaceous period." Hoped this was a positive contribution to the wiki world!

Wikipedia Edit

Another edit to "Haddonfield Memorial High School"...I added an atheltic accomplishment from 2001... "Haddonfield Memorial High School's cross country teamed ranked 4th in The Harrier's Nike / Foot Locker Super 25 National Rankings in 2001." I was on this team, thus pretty proud of this achievement.

Wikipedia Work

From my last 3 edits on wikipedia I recieved one deletion from my edit on the term flea markets. I added a flea market worthy of being noted on this page however someone removed my work. They probably did this, thinking an owner was attempting to promoted his/her business through wikipedia, however it truly wasn't.

Wikipedia Edit Boothwyn, PA

I made an addition to the term Boothwyn, PA on Wikipedia. I posted "The famous Brigg's Auction has been in Boothwyn, PA since 1932". This auction is represents a major part of the towns history and is a unique experience that tells a lot about the towns character.

Reflection on Class

Reading the article in class yesterday opened my eyes to how drastically media is changing. It will be interesting to see where we are 10 years from now. Its pretty amazing to me the power of media & technology and its influence on us. For instance, facebook. While I am not a member I notice my friends spending hours a day on it. Its certainly now a major part of their lives and almost seems to be an addiction. But from a marketing standpoint it goes to show the incredible opportunities presently and the importance of innovation.
