Are Bloggers Journalists

I researched this week topic but I couldn't get a specific topics talking about this matter, our generation have reach a high stage of using Internet and Web until it became their media! or in other words "free media" as they can freely express their ideas without anyone affecting their beliefs, and since we all now believe that Internet have a major affection on people now days they find bloging is the most efficient way to deliver their message, just like any journalist, and since the journalists basically document "create reports as a profession for broadcast or publication in mass media" Then blogers are also journalist except they use Internet as there media

strotypes of arabs in media

Its out in the open now everyone knows that the media damages the image of arabs and muslims around the world, but yet people still belive the media or still have this bad mage about arabs and ofcorse the media never stops

How many times have you watched a film or a TV show that shows Arabs as terrorists, idiots, or somehow lesser than any other race of man? Hundreds? Thousands? Maybe more…Stereotyped such as terrorists, oil-hoarding sheikhs, and American-hating Muslim fanatics, brute murderers, sleazy rapists, religious fanatics, and abusers of women...

After different film studies and main stream media research, It has been found that: “No other group has been more vilified than the Arabs”, more than 1000 movies have portrayed badly the Arabs, and since 11 September 2001 the image of Arabs in films and medias has only worsened!" Said Jack Shaheen, the author of the best seller: “reel bad Arabs” .

Google plus VS. Facebook

since the social media website "facebook' growing and taking over all network users attention, people have become obsessed with it, and as it expanded it become the actual definition of "social networks", and no one seemed to be looking for a change even within the website it self, whenever facebook tried to change the looks or the way things work on it, there was always allot of people attacking it for changing whatever thy got used to,.. and just untill a few weeks no one had a single thought that facebook could ever be replaced, but only then Google decided to give the network users a sneak peek of there new social network (Google+) by sending out invites to a group of people to try it out, you can only join the Google+ network if your invited from one of your friends who already have an account there, yet the users responses to it was unbelievable people started searching for those invites trying by any way to join Google+ and peoples Thirst for change and for seeing something new, all showed of really clear
people thinks of facebook as THE social network no one will go search for another website for social networking  because they're all so small compared to facebook,
exactly the same for google people never go search for another search engine to do their searches on because they're all too small compared to Google, but since a big company like Google decided to join the social network business ofcorse everyone will be excited about it and interested to know what its welling to offer.the layout Google introduced for their profiles is this:

ofcorse the Google referred to facebook features in its own social network cause as i mentioned earlier, this is what people expects from a social network, to be like facebook and facebook also copied some features from twitter, so its really just how the business work, but ofcorse Google added some interesting features to it and Google's touch just gives it this magical looks :

till this moment Google+ hasn't been publicly lunched yet but people are already starting to go after it and find invitations to it and reviews are going back and forth! sone just miss allot of applications on facebook when they're using Google+ and some are saying that they're totally welling to eave facebook for it...

   The pluses of Google+ over Facebook

1. Google+ provides better privacy and well layered grouping – circles
2. Google+ does not have annoying applications like facebook (may be yet)
3. Google+ combines facebook and twitter together when the main features are concerned
4. Google+ is simple and sweet – May be just because it new
5. Google+ uses the google chat for chatting. It is much better than facebook chat

The minuses of Google+ over Facebook

1. Google+ lacks some features that facebook has (Since it’s new and beta)
2. Google+ does not have anything special for a typical facebook freak who does not care much about privacy
3. Google+ does not have the own powerful branding as a social network (It’s a sub-product of google and not a mere social network brand like “facebook”) However, this is how it could be released because a unique branding is too weeker to compete facebook
   
   as a social network user i expect so much from Google+ but the question that we're left with, 
   Does Google Plus stand a chance of replacing facebook?
