Ray Kroc- McDonalds


At the age of 52, Ray Kroc invested his entire life savings into becoming a exclusive distributor of a milk shake maker called the Multimixer. Hearing that a burger Stand, McDonalds, in California was running eight Multimixers, In 1954, Roy took a trip to California. He couldn’t believe how fast the service was and the happiness of the customers.

Facebook Privacy Changes

Facebook, with over 350 million members, has developed the option in which you can choose by what ever you post on facebook , who can see it. For example, I wrote something really personal and didnt want people i dont know readind it, i would switch the privacy level from everyone to just friends. I believe this is the most appropriate thing to put on their site because of the amount of people and how personal your facebook can be. Being a member of facebook for over 3 years now, many people who i have never meet or even live in a completely different country try to add you, weather it be just to talk or some perv/ Murder trying to pick up girls through the interent. It surprises me that only 15% to 20% of the site’s 350 million peole on have used the privacy option.

Mark Cuban


Mark Cuban's Blog is mixed with many different topics. Some are globall problems like " How to Jumpstart the ecomony and creat millions of jobs" and go to talking about google to What the age limit would be for Basketball teams. He has many strong thoughts about what he see's and believes, and demenstrates hes thoughts through his blog. I believe he bloggs for the freedom of speach, and to also get some feedback from his Blogg followers. "Im curious what readers think."
The one blogg that really stood out to me was the one called " How to jumpstart the economy- tax free small buisness", mostly because he explains how and what to do with a buisness and what tips will help you to start a buisness, wheather it be done by a millionair or someone just starting out. "In the Internet world, all you have to do is setup an account with an ad network, put it on your website, generate some traffic and they send you a check. . No licenses, no tax id, no announcements in the newspaper. It took me minutes. Its exactly what millions of people do as well and its created an entire Internet economy that lives off of Google, Yahoo, MIcroSoft, AOL, Ebay and others. Its the entrepreneurs path of least resistance, which is exactly why most take this route"
