    Personally, I think Facebook is useful.. in some ways.

    by
    As some of the people in the class knows,
    I am not a big user of Facebook.

    I created my account while MSN chatting with my friend when I was in 5th grade.
    That time, I had no idea what it was,
    plus, I was not using internet so much, because the time I will be able to connect to internet was limited.
    So, the conversation I had with my friend when I first encountered Facebook was:
    Friend: I think you should start Facebook too!
    Me: ... ... is it free?

    Friend: ... ... it is free.
    Me: but is it safe?
    Friend: just go to this website Facebook.com
                and I'll tell you more about it.

    And so, I created my account on Facebook.

    Since I was still in 5th grade, using WindowsME, with limited internet time of 30minutes,
    I did not use Facebook so much.

    However, when we changed our internet connection and the limit were gone,
    I started using Facebook more.

    My good old friend who taught me about the existence of Facebook
    told me how my friends from elementary school are using this as well.

    Since I moved to Tohoku region when I was in elementary school,
    and I did not have computer at that time,
    and so I did not have emails,
    Facebook was the only way to get in contact with those friends.

    I thought Facebook was an interesting way to have connection with people around the world
    since we can not only share our status, but photos and interests too.

    When I entered Temple, the first thing my friends asked for were my cell phone address
    plus, my Facebook account.

    I was glad that my good old friend told me about Facebook.

    So, aside from emails,
    Facebook is one of the biggest social networking that came into my life.

    POP-CULTURE

    by
    Definition of POP-CULTURE

    My definition of POP-CULTURE is youth culture, culture that exists currently like within 10 or 20 years or culture that is not traditional.
    Anime could be one of the Japanese pop culture for me because mostly the funs of anime are young people.



    JAPANESE POP-CULTURE and BROADCASTING WEBSITES

    Recently, some of broadcasting websites show some anime, such as
    ニコニコ動画
    Gyao
    . anime
    You probably watch anime on TV, but you might sometimes miss for some reasons.
    Before those website exist, what you have to do is looking for your friend who recorded it.
    Now, you just need to go to those websites and look for what you miss.
    After the anime had broadcasted on the TV, it also would be broadcasted on those websites for free for a week.
    After the free term, you have to pay for it.

    Ustream is right now trying  new thing.
    From this spring, they have been broadcasting an anime TIGER&BUNNY.



    Unlike other websites, you cannot watch the anime everyday on Ustream.
    They're broadcasting it every Saturday night like other normal anime does on TV every week which is still new thing.

    And, it's not directly related to this topic, but in this anime one of the character, SKY-HIGH has the logo of Ustream.
    TIGER&BUNNY is a pretty unique anime; each main character has  sponsor logos.
    The main character has SOFTBANK's logo, and his partner has BANDAI's logo.
    One of the sub characters, ORIGAMI  CYCLON had only one spensor , . anime , when the anime have begun, but now he has TAKASU CLINIC and LIVEDOOR's logos too since he's became somehow one of the most popular characters!
