Refurbished Microsoft Xbox 360 - Good Or Bad Idea?

If you are looking to buy an Microsoft Xbox 360 but you don't want to spend a lot of money, you might want to consider purchasing a refurbished Xbox 360. These consoles have been inspected by a licensed professional and are guaranteed to work. They also come with a three month warranty which can usually be extended for an extra fee. If you're unsure of what type of 360 to purchase, take a look at the following features of each of the three systems. This will help you make your decision.

Xbox 360 Arcade - This version is the cheapest version of the three. It doesn't come with a hard drive attached, but rather a 256MB memory card. It also comes with five games loaded onto the memory card, from the Xbox LIVE arcade. This system is probably best for gamers who play casual games, or aren't looking to have a huge game collection. It is the standard white color and includes such accessories as a wireless controller and headset.

Xbox 360 Premium - This version of the console is what most gamers end up getting. It includes a 20GB hard drive which is great for many saved games, but isn't quite enough space to store movies, music, and game demos you can download from the Marketplace. It also comes in the standard white and features the same accessories as the Xbox 360 Arcade edition.

Xbox 360 Elite - The elite edition of the Xbox 360 is designed for the most hardcore gamer. It features a 120GB hard drive which is more than enough space for any gamer to store saved games, movies, music, and game demos which have been downloaded. You'll have plenty of room to expand with this system. It features a shiny black finish along with a controller of the same color. It also features a headset and some boxes even include a free trial subscription to Xbox LIVE.

Blogging, Can It Make Money For You?

Blogging is a good way to meet people. Blogging isn't dead but it has sure narrowed down to those who update their blogs regularly. Blogging is bringing new voices to the online world. Most bloggers focus on personal experiences, not politics 7/19/2006 | Release. It is more about speaking out and meeting other people that agree with your narrow point of view. Blogging is easy, almost instant, publishing of content to a website, where every entry is preserved in a database and is therefore categorizeable and searchable.

Blogging

Blogging combined the personal web page with tools to make linking to other pages easier - specifically permalinks, blogrolls and trackbacks. Blogging was used to draw attention to obscure news sources. It can sometimes have unforeseen consequences in politically sensitive areas. Blogging by established politicians and political candidates, to express opinions on war and other issues, cemented blogs' role as a news source.

Bloggers

Bloggers began to provide nearly-instant commentary on televised events, creating a secondary meaning of the word "blogging": to simultaneously transcribe and editorialize speeches and events shown on television. Bloggers think that good argument and strong opinion cause people to seek information, an equally logical sequence. They post about their day or their opinions on different matters. Bloggers consume and extend the shelf life of our reporting, and they scrutinize it at a new level of intensity. They can critique, fact-check or applaud journalists on their own platform, as well as offer their own analysis of world events.

Journalism

Journalism is defined in the Penguin English Dictionary as "a profession managing editing or writing for newspapers or perodicals'. Journalism is always up for grabs, because it only exists in a free society, which is free to redefine itself and always does. Journalism, for many who blog, is one thing they are blogging against. Established schools of journalism began researching blogging and noting the differences between journalism and blogging. It's about how blogs and participatory journalism are changing the business of persuasion.

Google

Google should realize that controversy and selling ad space does not go hand in hand and make sure it doesn't happen again, otherwise people will stop seeing Google in terms of 'not being evil' and see it just as another service provider which would massively decimate not only the good will but also the value of the brand name. Google already crossed a line by setting up a blog specifically to cater to the health care industry. Google can't tell the difference, and customers googling may not care that an opinion they find distasteful is "only being done in off hours. But Google is shamelessly using structural information and photos culled from blogs in its own products (like restaurant search in Google maps).

Personal

Personal bloggers take pride in their blog posts, even if their blog is never read by anyone but them. Personal blogs may not be important to readers, but for the people who write them, they are works of art. Personally don't feel what I'm putting would be that interesting to most people. Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. The modern blog evolved from the online diary, where people would keep a running account of their personal lives. Blogging combined the personal web page with tools to make linking to other pages easier - specifically permalinks, blogrolls and TrackBacks.

Money

There's a good chance that if you are reading this you make money online or want to. I think that making money while blogging is like watching grass grow. The reality for most chasing a quick buck from blogging is that few except those at the top of the blogosphere succeed in raking in a lot of money. The vast number of people looking to make a second income from blogging already own and write their own blogs and don't make much money; simply a low paid network blogging job is often more than what they are making from their own blogs. Blogs don't generate that much money so there's no reason to have minimum wages and benefits for bloggers.

Blogging is changing, and for the better. It is a good way to meet people. Blogging isn't dead but it has sure narrowed down to those who update their blogs regularly.
