Services Online....

So last week in class we went over E-Commerce and all the services that were available online before. When it first started there wasn't much to choose from online but that didn't stop people from becoming excited with the idea and trying to think of anything they possibly could to sell online. Some of the few things that were sold online to start with were books, such as on Amazon.com. Alot of the companies that delivered things offline faded quickly because of the price of gas, and they were spending alot more money shipping and delivering than they were acutally gettin selling the products. Later on though this industry started to grow even more and ideas such as shopping carts and online catalogs came about. Shopping carts are huge and actually one of m favorite things because you can pick things out and put them in your cart but you can also take them back out of your cart if yu decide you don't want them anymore. Alot of things that you see in stores and things you can find on the web. Different departments, different stores, different sections. It's just as if you were walking through a mall deciding which store to go into and once you go in you find it divided into different sections and such. This is a great way to keep services online available and easy to manuever.

So I was thinkin about it today and realized that I had said that I was gonna post a few blogs on my new job @ Starbucks :) It's been about a month and 1/2 now and honestly I am just starting to get the hang of the job! All of you who think that you might be getting of easy by having a job at a Starbucks are lying to yourselves! haha all of the people that I have talked to at work said that it takes forever to get accustomed to the job and really know your way around. There is way more stuff to remember than I ever imagined and you know all those complicated orders that people do??? Yea...not fun! So all you people that order Quad Venti nonfat 1/2 decaf no-foam 1 pump white chocolate one pump vanilla no whip no water Espressos.........get a life!!!!!!!!! All in all though....its starting to appeal to me...and I'm definately learning to at least like it.

SHOPPING!!! ♥

Well I gotta say that this is one of my favorite things that we have discussed in class. Honestly, what girl doesn't love to shop! I am an avid believer of shopping online and truly believe that you can find anything that you could possibly want. I have to say though that I am not the most careful buyer and have purchased a few things off sites that could possibly be risky, such as Overstock.com, E-Bay, and craigslist. Sometimes you don't know if the people you are buying from are really going to follow through with what you got. I know a few times my mom has bought off E-bay and never recieved what she brought. The process to actually retrieve the item or get your money back is pretty annoying. One of the main reasons I love shopping online is because of the spontaneity of the buy. My most recent and my most spontaneous purchase was recently when I wanted to go to the Justin Timberlake concert and purchased the tickets the night before the concert on craigslist. I took a chance that the guy was going to meet me and give me the tickets....and luckily he held up his end of the bargain! The concert was definately worth those few hundred. :) My most favorite thing to be online though is purses....I have to say I have probably bought over 10 purses online...most of them Coach haha! Love it! Those who are nervous about online buying are definately missing out...it has become my new favorite thing over the past few years. The one downside.....you still have to be able to go to the mall and try on clothes on with your friends...thats something you cant do when you buy online :)

Kevin Freitas

Well I have definately not wrote on my blog in a while. It has been craaaazy at work for me this week and finding spare time is a little unusual. So a little behind on my Kevin Freitas blog....but I didn't forget! So this past week Kevin Freitas came in and visited us in class to guest speak. First off I noticed that his blog was completely unique and different than many of the other blogs that we have looked at and observed. I think alot of this has to do with the fact that he built his own blogging engine and worked off of that. His page, kevinfreitas.net has a massive amount of info that you can browse and check out. I loved his picture feed, it is amazing that he has over 10,000 photos that circulate through. It was also pretty fun that we had a few cams on his page that were located in a couple random places, like outside his house. Alot of bloggers definately try to keep their identity a secret but you can tell that that is definately not the case for Kevin, I admire and applaud his attitude on that! Till next blog...
