Shout out to TMZ for yet another “P” True Hollywood Story add on, again confirming how deep the game is when the last part of this latest video from TMZ up above this paragraph that was released today is actually what was the full video that was listed below back in July of 2011 which led to a re-publishing of this article from 2011, to let the world in on some of the types of things that can happen with just a few key strokes from a few key people.

Moving Forward!
Sunday Funday it is, and a great one for us as I am at last one step closer to finding signs of intelligent life which will allow for me to at long last fade into the background and turn the focus over to where it belongs which is the young female entrepreneurs in the information age of whom which this cause known as PimpHop.com Lifestyle Magazine was designed for.

Raquel is a young lady that I stay updated on on my personal Facebook page as she is an entrepreneur, and well, that’s just it. The interesting thing about this phenomenon taking place across the globe, but especially in Los Angeles, is that the list of titles and hats worn by these women of a certain type grows by the minute yet since Raquel took the step towards opening her very own personal blog to add to her menu of goodies, in addition to the fact that she is a one stop for all of the top notch local and global fem fetales, I will just leave you with a simple YouTube Video Clip showcasing the
Lifestyles of The Rich & Pimpish, while I determine where this journey will lead to next,or have we already arrived unknowingly?

Welcome Home.
It is that time of the year again, where we conduct one of our annual Facebook Fasting initiatives here at Your Friendly Neighborhood PimpHop.com, and it usually comes during one of the four months in a year where there is a change in seasons.

Over time, the situation with social media addiction shows to be beyond just Facebook, and much more about the attention paid and time spent staring into the screen of a smartphone and or personal computer in general, at the people, places, and things which over time, prove to be a distraction, yet since Facebook is still the leading online social networking service and yours truly does not have a Instagram account and uses Twitter sparingly, we will initiate this process to ensure that our time and attention automatically flows elsewhere and report back with our findings in July when we will officially be in the 2014 Summer season.

Stay Tuned.

This post is  about more of an administrative subject matter as applied to information technology business, yet since life on Earth as we currently know it as is technologically dependent, the information may be of use for more individuals than what would appear to be on the surface.

Facebook From An Administrative Perspective

While conducting research on the MSDN.com (Microsoft Developers Network) website, the term username showed up on the screen which led to a thought about what the term user actually describes, and from somewhat of an urban perspective, and even suburban at times, the term user is usually one of disparagement towards another (a diss).

user
(Urban Dictionary Definition)

user (n.) – a person who uses a friend or aquaintance
solely for the purposes of gaining a type of advantage;
whether it be:

1) when no one else is around, they need
someone (like you) to take them places

2) someone who doesn’t include you in any activities that they have
with their friends, who you too, are friends with, yet
YOU would invite him or her in a heart beat

3) a person who completely ignores you when he or she
is with a group of people who may be cooler than you

4) a person who can call you ANYTIME and you would be there for them,
and yet if you try to call him or her, they will not pick up;
however, ONLY for using purposes he or she would pick up,
like if he or she needs a RIDE somewhere (yet they would pick up
their phone for any other person)

5) a person who constantly gives you excuses…when you know he or she is completely full of SHIT, and even after all this, this person still calls you their “friend”

Apple Inc.

Apple Inc. is an American multinational corporation headquartered in Cupertino, California, that designs, develops, and sells consumer electronics, computer software, and personal computers. Its best-known hardware products are the Mac line of computers, the iPod media player, the iPhone smartphone, and the iPad tablet computer. Its consumer software includes the OS X and iOS operating systems, the iTunes media browser, the Safari web browser, and the iLife and iWork creativity and productivity suites.

Apple was founded by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne on April 1, 1976, to develop and sell personal computers. It was incorporated as Apple Computer, Inc. on January 3, 1977, and was renamed as Apple Inc. on January 9, 2007, to reflect its shifted focus towards consumer electronics.

In May 2013, Apple entered the top ten of the Fortune 500 list of companies for the first time, rising 11 places above its 2012 ranking to take the sixth position.

Comedian Dave Chappelle often talks about Iceberg Slim during his stand-up routines. According to Chapelle, Iceberg Slim got his name by keeping ice-cold in a shoot-out where he stayed at the bar drinking his drink even though a bullet pierced his hat, a story told at the end of chapter 13 in Slim’s Pimp. On his 2006-07 summer tour, Chappelle told a tale of Iceberg Slim, learning of him from Maya Angelou, and relates it to why he left $50 million at Comedy Central and secretly went to South Africa.

(Repost) #whydowedothis ? – Twitter Hash Tags Explanation

(Editors Note – Wednesday May 28, 2014)
Article Originally Published on: Oct 15, 2011 @ 19:46 by Rylan Branch

With the news of the Santa Barbra CA massacre and subsequent social dialogue that is occurring as a result of it, the decision has been made to republish this article to explore the reasons why we do what we do, including but not limited to using hashtags in our online social statements.

There does appear to be a trend that lends more towards a selfish and vain attempt to appear kool amongst ours peers and to the public with the use of non relevant but hip sounding hashtags, as opposed to the original reason that they were implemented in the first place, which was to bring individuals together under one common subject of interest and discussion in which many can participate.

 

In closing, the tragedy does bring us back to the explorations of why individuals do what they do for better or worse so yours truly as the author of this article will add my own 2 cents with a hashtag that states #YesAllWomen as well as #AllMen can and should become more conscious and aware of our thoughts and behaviors by asking #whydowedothis ?

(End Note)

hashtag

The more I grow and know, the more square I seem to become in the process, so today’s entry in the tech gadgets section is simply an attempt to answer my own questions that for all I know, may be on the minds of others as well, or is now that it has been mentioned.

Throughout the history of the Social Media phenomenon known as Twittering”, I have seen these hash tags “#” become somewhat of a literal cultural icon similar to the way that the “@” symbol has become a universally understood way of stating the term “at”.

The Twitter hash tags has a significance in the since that the symbol is still commonly used as a numbers sign, and if there is someway to make it so that they are the same in both instances (Twitter & Numbers) then perhaps it is time to open up an investigation and subsequently Pimp The System by making it work in the most effective way.

Again, the feeling of squareness is what has led to this search because as embarrassing as it may be for me to say, watching shows like 106 & Park and others where the usage of this symbol and Twitter social media service does not answer my questions as to why in the world people do what they do with it, other than the fact that its the thing that people do because many people do it, which is definitely anti-pimp to the fullest extent.

The Solution?

Well, from what I know, Twitter and most websites that are effective at serving the needs of its viewers/users will list the descriptions of the services so that the occasionally square people such as myself may find the technical and rational descriptions about popular and trendy things that many of us do.

via Twitter Help Center

What Are Hashtags (“#” Symbols)?

Definition: The # symbol, called a hashtag, is used to mark keywords or topics in a Tweet. It was created organically by Twitter users as a way to categorize messages.
Hashtags: helping you find interesting Tweets
•People use the hashtag symbol # before relevant keywords in their Tweet to categorize those Tweets to show more easily in Twitter Search.
•Clicking on a hashtagged word in any message shows you all other Tweets in that category.
•Hashtags can occur anywhere in the Tweet.
•Hashtagged words that become very popular are often Trending Topics.
Example: Below, @VegNews added the hashtag before the word “vegan” in their message. The word is now a link to search results for all Tweets containing “#vegan” in the message.
Using hashtags
•If Tweet with a hashtag on a public account, anyone who does a search for that hashtag may find your Tweet.
•Don’t #spam #with #hashtags. Don’t over-tag a single Tweet. (Best practices recommend using no more than 3 hashtags per Tweet.)
•Use hashtags only on Tweets relevant to the topic.
Further Discovery and Reading
•The third party site hashtags.org offers an overview of popular hashtags used on Twitter. Find out about trends, look at small, pretty graphs, and search to see if the hashtags of your fantasies exist.
•You may also want to read this article about hashtags, which appeared in The New Yorker magazine.

Welcome Home.
This Tuesday Newsday also doubles as the beginning of the new moon of June 2010, so it appears that we are beginning the month on a lucky note.

This entry is just an application of what the experts say is the first and most important step in accomplishing your goals, which is to create a clear and accurate picture of your destination, to have as a point of focus before you set sail.

Big plans are in store for this month, and it comes as a result of adding some things and subtracting some others, also known as figuring it out.

If you plan on riding along on the journey, the time for preparation is now and for the rest of this four day work week, and for those who are better suited to sit back and watch the show, this week I will also be releasing the  programming schedule for you to record on your TiVo.

Only seven months left in the year 2010, so where are you at in your list of new years resolutions and goals?
