Griffin

After the discussing in class about Griffin, I began to think about my experiences with the product. I own an itrip which i use often in my car, and it works well; I couldn't live without it. But other products I have bought from Griffin haven't worked great. The ITrip is great, but other radio transmitters they sell hardly work, especially for the price they charge for them. From what David said in the conversation, it makes sense that the quality of the product cannot be expected to work perfectly, due to the technology.
However, from my experience from using Griffin products, I feel that the price the charge for the quality they offer isn't compatible. To make up the difference, I usually just buy their products on ebay, and end up saving money :)

The Twitter Phenomenon

I have just started using Twitter, and am still getting used to the concept of what it offers. Browsing through people I am a fan of, I began to wonder about how bands use Twitter to communicate with their fans, and keep them informed about their actions and thoughts on certain issues.

This form of networking site allows the fans of artists and other famous celebrities to know what they are doing, and just rant about something they feel like sharing to people who are following them. But does this pose a risk for ubber-fans to take advantage of this information? By sharing intimate information, or details about exactly where they are, it allows any to be able to track them down.
Anyone have any thoughts?

Summer concert

Hey everyone. So the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre is hosting a huge concert with No Doubt and Paramore. I had posted earlier about how I felt No Doubt sold out, and thought anyone who felt nostalgic, would like the chance to see them reunite this summer.
Here is a link to find out more information
