When rafflecopter was first introduced, I thought it was rather neat. I liked how easy it was to enter, and also the back-end of things. However, the new of rafflecopter has wore off, and I have noticed bloggers are getting a bit wild with it. This is causing companies to lose the buzz they are reaching out for. I have been entering giveaways for awhile now, and what annoys me is when a blogger is using rafflecopter, and they have 5 mandatory entries, and not one has to do with the sponsor of the item. I mean come on 5 mandatory entries... let's be real here, isn't that a bit much, and to NOT promote the sponsor a bit better. Don't you think that is a bit tacky. The company goes out of their way to get you a product for review, they also give you one to giveaway, and you cannot make the mandatory about the company. This looks bad on bloggers, and gives them a bad name. Another thing that annoys me, and many others entering giveaways (yes, I have spoke with several). When a … [Read more...]
what do you think of the death penalty
I have always been a strong believer of one should have to pay for their crime. I have also been a believer of the death penalty. I feel some crimes need to be handled by death. Don't get me wrong, I don't feel everyone should be sent to death for wrong doing. However, I feel strongly of a person to be sent to death for harming a child in away that is unforgivable. Such as Casey Anthony, maybe she shouldn't have received death, she should however have spent more time in prison. She is the reason her child is gone, whether it was by her hands or by her stupidity. Within the past few hours, Georgia put a man to death, when there WAS NOT enough evidence to say this man committed the crime. Millions of people around the world, protested, asked to re-look into this case. The judge refused, the state refused, this man was left out to dry. Did Troy Davis commit the crime he was accused of, or was this one of those "we will pin the crime on someone to close the case deals." Troy Davis … [Read more...]
do you hate the recent facebook changes?
Yea, so do I. Like many, I am not one for change. Sure change is good sometimes, but other times, change is not needed. Last night before I was about to close down the laptop for the night, I noticed some changes to Facebook. These changes were not for the better, I got pretty annoyed. I do not want to see my updates in a small box on the right hand sidebar, I want to see it in the middle how it once was. Instead I am seeing the same thing over and over again. Just because facebook thinks it is a top story doesn't mean I do. I seen several other facebookers fussing about this new change as well, one had comments, so I read the comments to find out there is an app for your web browser. I use firefox, so I got the firefox plugin, now this app or plugin whatever you would like to call it, doesn't make the facebook look like before, but you can customize how your facebook is, you can even change the theme. If you are interested you can head on over to Better Face Book, and check it … [Read more...]
