Blackplanet

-
There is only one social network that is specifically created for a black community. That is Blackplanet. It allows users to interact and have fun with other members of similar ethnic background. It is geared towards African American members and is not like other social networking sites that can be used by every one. The founder of Blackplanet, Omar Wasow, did so in 1999 and sold the site to Radio One along with the parent company for Blackplanet, Community Connect Inc. They provide users with jobs, chat, forums, photo sharing, dating, normal interaction and other activities that are geared towards the black community and their interests. The amount of users have increased each day since inception. Users are able to sign up to the site for free on a platform that can be easily navigated. It is similar to the other social networks with little differences. Some of these differences include the ethnicity of its users, quizzes, a rate me app and a chance to be, or to get a secret admirer. Without signing up, you can view comments and get a feel of the site, but the more important information can only be viewed through a valid sign-up. The registration process is simple; it is just like the process on other sites. The information that is provided is kept strictly confidential and will not be revealed to other sources. Users can interact by chatting and sharing experiences with other users of the site. They can view each other’s profiles and rate them in terms of popularity. Most importantly, users are able to make friends and quite possibly meet someone to date. Some of the main features and benefits of the site are outlined above, they include, but are not limited to meeting and greeting friends and family, dating, meeting new friends, viewing and commenting on profiles and photos, sharing photos and videos, sharing encouraging words and quotes with each other. Getting a job on Blackplanet is not uncommon as they have employers who list their want ads on the site. Users are able to search and find other members.Some of the other features of Blackplanet include an app to use on mobile phones; this is known as Blackplanet Mobile. It was revamped specifically for this purpose, users can check and send their mails, view or chat with their friends who are online and do a variety of things with this app wherever they are. Listening to music with Blackplanet is easy with millions of songs to choose from and listen for free. Users can make their own spin on Blackplanet’s music play lists by creating their very own. It is also possible for users to use Blackplanet NEXT to connect with other social networks, share links and visit new sites. Blackplanet offers a one of a kind experience to African Americans to be among others who are like them and enjoy the interacting and sharing of information on every aspect of their lives. It gives them an easy way to keep in touch and know what is happening in the lives of friends or family members who they have not seen for a while.

Why I Traded My Wine for Weed

-
As the world we live in becomes more frantic and the reality and responsibilities of the longer work day and week continue to increase. It becomes more important to figure out a way to de-stress, to take a breath and to change the pace from the frenetic one to a slower more laid back one that is more conducive to relaxing, especially after work and on weekends. For some it is easier said than done, and that may explain the growing trend among professionals and women in particular to have a glass of wine at the end of the day to decompress.   Added to this is the fact that it has been said that a glass of wine is good for the heart (just look at the French). All of this may add to the growing popularity of trading wine for weed. While wine continues to be the leading choice for recreation and relaxing, that is changing. One of the reasons could be the hangovers that follow the glass of wine. Inevitably, one glass of wine with or after dinner turns into a bottle of wine and you ...

On Smoking Weed and Elon Musk

-
Marijuana is known to all by different names; Weed, Ganja, Spliff, herb, grass, pot, and the list goes on. For many people, this is known as a recreational drug, but for others, its medicinal properties come to the fore. Legalizing a small quantity is perhaps the smartest thing that could ever have happened, because there are die-hard marijuana smokers who would literally die while smoking this plant. Marijuana is called by street names, cultural street names and geographical terms. As with everything else, there are good and bad with smoking the herb. Many have thrown caution to the wind and just indulge in all the highs and lows that it has to offer. As it is with any drug, there are signs and symptoms that can alert someone about the use of marijuana. Users may experience disruptions in their visual, audio skills, or even a speech impediment.
