The sites that I have visited for comparison are Facebook and MySpace. I have had both of these sites since their hype in popularity and have used them for a good time throughout their transitions.
Personally I do not use this these sights as often as I used to. One reason is that since Facebook was accessible to all college students, it was longer popular and is not used for interacting with people anymore. Now it is more of a music based sight. Most of the time I was on it, the home page was showing bands and their different concerts and tour dates.
Facebook on the other hand has pretty much kept its original layout where people can post information, pictures of links to different websites. What I have seen develop over time time are the features like begin able to "check in" to locations that you visit, or "geotagging" pictures or even the ability to tag faces for faster picture searching.

Describe New Media
New media is technologies that are most up to date to transfer or share information.
A great example of new media that is most up to date is Instagram. This website was mobile based and began with only iPhone users. From there the application allowed for those with Android phones to also join in. Then Facebook bought the company and now it is spreading faster. This form of "new media caters to though people who would rather post pictures of what ever they are doing. One can add a filter and make the picture look really good. There is a space to write a caption and the followers that you have on your profile can comment on your picture and "like" it.
The best way to distinguish old media from new media is simply by the technology. Old media consisted of something that was used in the past but is barely or no longer used. This includes news papers. With mobile tablets allowing people to read the news on their tablets, the physical piece of paper that is distributed every morning is starting to loose its edge.

What is New Media?
New media is what ever you want it to be, it is an ever-changing definition. The types of technologies that are apart of new media is first and foremost the internet. It is an interactive hub of information that can be easily accessed through search engines and any form of search. Other technologies are online news websites, social media networks such as Facebook or Blogspot.com. There can even be user based sites where the user is the controller of the world that they participate in virtually.
Internet plays a very big part in new media because without it we would not have access to the newest forms of media that is out there. Most media mediums are all web based. You can not go to a place called Facebook to do the same thing you do on its website. EVERYTHING is virtual and the internet is the home place for it all.
New media will always replace old media because as new sites, apps and forms of technologies are developed, information will only get spread faster and faster. Old media took time and needed to be presented in the style the the medium required, but with websites like Twitter there is no room to get fancy because you are limited to 140 characters.

Hurricane Sandy
So my basement is flooded...we hope not.
My mother and I fled before they had to rescue the residents of our area. We live by the beach so the high tide wiped our area out.
My brothers baby pictures, my baby pictures, my mothers degrees and anything that is of importance was down there and it might be gone.
Here are some pictures of mine and my friend who lives around the block from me. Flood flood flood

Cake?
For the last month or so I've been making changes to my life so that I can be healthy young and skinny!
So far I've been going to LA fitness at least 3-4 times a week. I've been taking GNC's Active Woman's vitamin pack for 1. my vitamins (duh) 2. For energy boosting and 3. To burn fat. To make my hair and nails grow I'm also taking GNC's prenatal vitamins.
BUT my diet is a different story...soo far I've been making semi-good choices. Low fat this, grilled chicken that. I eat out a lot (ugh) I work at the mall and I am never actually home.
I need solutions, suggestions, something!!
😘😚😘😚 thank you so far for the support
