Tech Blog 4

 When we are finally thrown in full force into the real world after college we should leave with  the knowledge to able to look for jobs and have some type of business sense no matter what jobs we may do. Which brings me to talk about a website called Penton. Penton is basically a business site that starts from the basics all the way to advanced details about the business world. For instance they can help show people how they should make business decisions, what to look for and what would be best for their business in any career. As well as marketing and creating opportunities for people to get their foot in the door. We learn a majority of this in college if we take business courses but it doesn't  hurt to have something to reference to if you forget certain details of business, also not everyone takes business courses so this definitely helps a lot.
Penton goes hand in hand with my career choice because I am, along with my majoring in political science, also minoring in business, so knowing how to market myself out to my clients would be very beneficial. Another reason is this site is beneficial for me is that eventually I want to start my own law firm and with the information that Penton can offer me it can help to make sure that I'm running my business in the right direction.

SMACKDOWN #3

For this smack down I would like to talk about probably one of the worst websites that  have probably ever seen called libertyvan.com . I have never been on a site that made me so confused on what to look at because as soon as your on the site there is so much information that your shown you don't know where to look. When you go onto the website there is nothing but links after links after links on that one page alone. Normally a good website will have certain links under certain categories that you can look at by going to certain tabs, well that is definitely not this website. When I initially went onto the site I didn't even know what it was for, all I saw were links and pictures of vans decorated to the max. The site is basically showing vans that are decorated and promote political issues and peoples' rights, which I think its great if someone want to express their opinion about the views of their political rights on a van; to each is own. However these vans are so over decorated that you cannot even see what they are even talking about it just looks like something that should be in a circus.

Even when you really try to read the information given, some of the sentences overlap each other so its hard to make out what they are saying. Honestly when I saw the pictures of the van I thought they were pinatas. Also when reading what its somewhat about it talks about liberty and freedom vans but randomly throws in that they do dog shows too. Basically this site would confuse anyone.    

TECH BLOG 3

For this Tech blog I would like to talk about the app that Taryn talked about last week, Pandora. Pandora lets you listen to any type of music, on any music station by any artist. For me personally music is the best way to relax, forget about all the stress thats going on and/or just to have a great time. As odd as this may sound this app can actually help me with my future job of being a lawyer. The type of field I want to be in is a lawyer in the music entertainment industry, basically have music artists for clients, make sure the rights of their music agreement is fair, etc. Using pandora can help me listen to the type of music they normally do and make sure there were no changes in the song that the artist them selves were not aware of. Also to hear past songs to make sure that other artist have not copied any song that my client has already produced and has rights to.

Pandora is great because I like listening to the songs that I have not heard in years, songs that I didn't even know certain artists sang and to hear songs that I've never heard before. Normally what I do is I'll go on pandora, listen to any station and if I hear a song that I particularly like I'll look at the name of the song and artist, type it in on a music downloading app and download the song. This makes looking for songs that I like much easier.
