# 26 Making or ( listening) Music Together

I took a look at the websites,they all have something in common "Music". All of them are interesting,and you can create a lot of things with them.
This is my first time to hear about MOG. In my opinion,Mog is a social networking site for the music enthusiast. It connects music lovers with the similar musical tastes with new music and other users. With music as the focus, Mog users can customize a personal page similar to TagWorld or MySpace.
IMEEM - Now most people join this site just for music sharing and playlist capabilities, but just a few want to upload videos and photos.
QLOUD, provides the music experience consumers want: unlimited on-demand, free music from an endless library.

# 25 Am I a music pirate? It's hard to know...

Once I downloaded the music in the computer, I start burning a CD with the help of Roxio, the program I have on the computer. It was easy but I had to wait a while until the music was copied on the CD.I was curios to see if the music is there if the job was well done and ...yes "I became a music pirate".

I'm a music lover, I listen to a lot of music and I enjoy it.THE INTERNET AND DIGITAL technology have been both a blessing and a curse for the entertainment industry, opening new opportunities for selling music and video but also fueling rampant global piracy.

A recent study by the Piracy Association of America noted that 75% of software pirates were copied from as kids. "It's an epidemic. If we can't stop this vicious cycle then we'll end up with another generation of pirates."

The sound of the music # 24

Everyone downloads music...its a good way to get the song you want at the same time you want it. I personally don't have a problem with downloading music. If we can do it, why not. Today, music lovers are left but two options: pay list price for an album, or perform what a fan might call a free download and a record company would call theft. I took a look at Napster, ITunes, Radiohead and Amazon. I finally downloaded a song on my computer from music.download.com and after that I transferred it to a branch MP3. I finally checked to see if the song is there and it
was.

Ancient Sea Scorpion Was Bigger than Man

Scientists have uncovered the fossilized claw of a 390 million year old sea scorpion in a German quarry. They estimate that the cannibalistic creature, which has been named Jaekelopterus rhenaniae, was nearly 8 ft (2.5 m) long, making it at least 1.5 ft (46 cm) longer than any previously known eurypterid, or prehistoric sea scorpion. While fossil record has long shown that ancient arthropods were much bigger than they are now, this discovery suggests that prehistoric spiders, insects, and crabs were significantly larger than previously thought.

Week***10 # 23 Is this really the end?

That was awesome!!!
Overall I learned a lot about technology and not just. I had a lot of fun when I had to choose my Meez or when I created my first flikr badge. Easy to create but after that, hard to transfer to our blog. But now we have experience...and we are video producers :)... Without knowing we create a connection between us and it was so nice. Before I didn't now about Blogliness, Library Thing or Library Elf. The last two are very helpful and I think everybody should open an account. Anyway, special thanks for those people who create this, because for me personal it was a good lesson.

Week***9 # 22 Downladable Media

I took a look on Over Drive, the collection is not that big but is something. I like Wowio because it's free, bur I don't think I will download books very soon. About Librivox,I found this very interesting: "is a digital library of free public domain audio books, read by volunteers".

Week 9 # 21 Podcasts and Smodcasts

A podcast is basically an audio or video file that can be downloaded and listened to over the web on a computer or downloaded to a mp3 player. The Internet coupled with personal technology like iPods and MP3 players have empowered everyone with a new voice while redefining what "Radio" is in the 2000s from both a technical and distribution sense. Although I love traditional Radio, I'm also willing to embrace new paradigms.
