EOC Week 10: What are the benefits vs. the features?

For my project I am doing is ThisIsLife.com, the key benefits vs the features have quite a bit of explaining because people just don't want cool features, this has to be different than most so the benefits will have to be the main selling point. With the features, people will be able to go onto the website and create profiles. When  you make a profile you can upload pictures, make posts, follow friends, follow certain groups, and message people back and fourth. Like any other social network. The difference is the UI system (User Interface) this will be one of the best features on the site because people now a days don't want to see a header a body and a footer on a site, they want things to move around and be exciting. This site will be very heavy on the UI system just for that reason. Users will be able to customize their settings for their profile to edit how much they want to offer. Basically giving the user a better handle on what their doing, because we already know that social networks run peoples lives everyday. Now for the benefits, they have to be unique in a way that will make a person want to come back everyday to find out more. The key benefits for ThisIsLife.com is that the experience you have on this site will be like no other. People will enjoy going on and reading peoples posts because each post will be meaningful and enjoyable to read. People will feel comfortable going on and speaking about their lives on this site where they don't have to worry about thinking about if people will like it or not. For people that are suffering with depression I can only hope that they will use this site as a pathway to happiness. No one should ever feel that low in life that nothing is exciting or fun. No one should ever feel that way.

Week Nine EOC: Three Great Mission Statements

Three great mission statements that I have read are as followed; Andre De Los Monteros DreCo Media   caught my attention because I too am wanting to help kids that are less fortunate then others, "I have had a long dream of reaching out and helping children with poor or no parental guidance and give the love and direction needed." http://drecomedia.blogspot.com/ I believe if everyone worked together we can make sure that the future generations of the nation will be able to live the lives we did when we grew up. Haley Blaine "Beauty and the Bully" caught my attention because in my own project I'm trying to help other people feel more comfortable posting about their lives.  "To spread the word about the seriousness of bullying. Our mission is to inspire youth to speak only kind words, and teach that it takes a kind heart and mouth to be truly beautiful." This is a inspiring mission statement and you can look at this and more at http://byhaleyblaine.blogspot.com/search/label/Final%20Project.
The last Mission statement that caught my attention a great deal is Kathryn Lynch f35 Studio, her passion to help veterans find confidential help for ptsd or other issues countered when they were deployed in the war. "Vets Ride will continuously evaluate other worthy charitable organizations that serve our military personnel and we will be flexible in shifting our financial support when applicable."

Week Nine BOC: Week Nine Top Hits

The top five songs of the 2012 summer are as followed; Call me maybe by Carly Rae Jepson , Payphone by Maroon 5 feat. Wiz Khalifa, Somebody That I Used To Know, Gotye feat. Kimbra, Wide Awake by Katy Perry, Lights by Ellie Goulding. The Information I read was on                          http://www.billboard.com/charts/summer#/charts/hot-100?order=timeon and by clicking the link you can see them too. Each of these songs are on the charts because each of them have catchy lyrics in the song for people to remember. Also by over playing them on the radio forces people to hear it, you might not like it the first time, but at some point you will be humming the tune of Call Me Maybe. By also putting songs into commercials it allows people to hear the songs even on the television. These songs make people have the urge to dance and be happy.
