Do you get your news on the internet?

I find this topic very interesting, considering I am a geek I tend to get my news and updates from places on the internet. However what I find interesting is that this trend seems to only occur in people of my generation. A.K.A people between the age of 15-30.

Because of this I decided to doa little social experiment and ask around my family and learn how they get the news and as predicted most family members over the age of 30 get the news from T.V

Don’t get me wrong I completely understand that social media can causes undesired effects but it is interesting to know that anyone with a computer and an internet connection can turn into a journalist or news anchor. Take into consideration how many people watch sxephil on youtube. He is funny and makes the news entertaining. The real question is this our future and what does it mean for news media business. Are these news media avenues (FOX,NBC,CNN,etc…) going to start using things like twitter or even ping.fm to mass send info to the world? Is online news as accurate as news in the paper or on T.V? Where do you get your news? Let us know in a comment below…

iPhone Software Upgrade Coming NOW!

whoknew — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 03:58:53 +0000

Insiders tell us that the apple iPhone software upgrade is coming not on the 11th but tomorrow. Yes ladies and gentlemen the App Store, Mobile Me, and the iPhone software upgrade are to be released July 10th 2008 at 9am PST. So fasten your seatbelt and get ready for the ride of your life. All you apple fans we have been waiting a year for this and it is finally here.

So you might ask what exactly does this bring to the table? Well first of Mobile Me is going to allow users to sync all their contacts, calendar events, email, and tasks over the air. This gives the consumer, i.e you and I the ability to have the features of exchange without the hassle or price. Mobile Me is a small price to pay at just $99, compared to these Person Exchange solutions that can total over $250 a year. Like Steve Jobs said so well. “Mobile me is exchange for the rest of us.”

Moving right along to the next big thing this great software upgrade brings is the App Store. WOW! That is all that I can say. I almost cried when I heard that apple was going to have a centralized place for all iPhone app’s. I would give anything for my WM6 based device to have something similar to this, but because WM6 is brought to us by the wonderful screw up’s a.k.a Microsoft I do not see that happening. If you want to have one place to get all your applications, the iPhone is the phone you need.

So, that about wraps it up for this blog posts, and if you have any questions, comments or concerns please email me at support@bluephoenix.tv or stop by the chat room on the live page. Thanks for reading and see ya around!
