The Social Network – Smells like an Oscar?
The movie “The Social Network” that is based on facebook and the story of how founders Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin’s went about creating and establishing it. It documents the controversial beginnings of this phenomenal website. The plot starts with the company's privileged origins and the Harvard whiz kids who started it. Class warfare is evident as the big new idea ends up with high-priced lawyers fighting over profits. As they take depositions, the clever screenplay shifts back and forth between answers to legal questions and the events that led to the questions.
Facebook has changed the way the youth communicates and has become a vital part of their and our daily lives. Not only has it affected people on personal levels but also on professional/business levels. You are applying for jobs? – Make sure your facebook page is clean so you don’t get portrayed negatively.
Grabbing the chance to use the stories of the Facebook founders, David Fincher, who has directed successful movies like Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is on his way to get praised for another one of his creations. Reel critics believe that this movie is going to get attention by Oscar’s nominations.

Betty Ford says no Turkey for you Lindsay Lohan -- Thanksgiving with Daddy
Lindsay Lohan is not allowed to leave California to go home for Thanksgiving. The Betty Ford clinic, where she is currently rehabilitating, is not giving her permission to fly out of the state and to head to New York to spend time with her mum. Instead she will stay local, celebrating with her dad. Michael lives close to the clinic and was hoping to get the rest of the family out for the day too. Without luck.
Maybe next year he will be more successful. Though Christmas is close and maybe, maybe then the whole family will get together. Or maybe not.

DailyBurn attracts Mindspark
Losing weight strategies often talk about taking food additives or electronic machines for abs muscles that will lead to weight loss and the change that once hopes for. These methods end up being unsuccessful many times because dieting and exercise has to be done alone. In comparison, DailyBurn, a social website that promotes fitness and diet has attracted more than 500,000 members encouraging them to make changes together.
This success and main concept also attracted Mindspark Interactive Network Inc.’s CEO, Joey Levin, who set up a meeting with DailyBurn founder, Andy Smith, and ended up acquiring a majority stake of the company. Mindspark already owns a number of websites, which focus on allowing users to connect with friends, play games, customize graphics or download electronic greeting cards, such as Webfetti and CursorMania. Levin expressed his confidence about the acquisition in a statement after the deal was done, “We hadn’t ever marketed anything in the diet and fitness category and we know there’s a big opportunity there...We felt we could bring that strength to DailyBurn.”
