my deliciousnessssss

My social bookmarking consists of websites that I go on frequently. For example my email, favorite YouTube videos, music websites, my social networks, websites to the NFL, my favorite team (SDCHARGERS!), etc.

I have used bookmarks before so it is pretty easy, however sometimes I don't want to go to "my delicious" just to go to the website I'll just type in the url. Then again, sometimes I am too lazy and don't want to type and that is when del.icio.us comes very handy.

if you want something to laugh at, I ENCOURAGE you to watch human tetris on my del.icio.us. It is hilarious... sneak preview:

what's with iTunes...

I realized that when I download and listen to music it comes naturally because I do it so frequently. Here's some steps I go through to listen to my music, I happened to choose Bob Marley...
1) open iTunes
2) go to library--> music
3) upper right hand click in the search box
4) type in "Bob Marley" 
5) look for songs you wanted to listen to, don't hear it? let's buy it!

Steps to buying music...
1) go to STORE and click on iTunes store
2) wait patiently while it accesses store
3) when it opens, the homepage will have new album releases, top songs, top movie rentals, etc.
4) type in "Bob Marley" in search engine (upper right)
5) click on song to preview it 
6) above songs click on the album where the song resides (if you can't find it or want more songs from that album)
7) choose to buy certain song or whole album
8) choose new artist, repeat

Some improvements I thought of were when songs are searched ath the iTunes store they could possibly be organized better so it is not as hard to find them. For example songs should be in order the way the original album is and in order by release dates for the album. Lyrics would be a huge improvement on iTunes because a lot of people are always curious as to what the lyrics are to songs but have to go online to check them out, and sometimes they are not online. If wist lists were available on iTunes the buying process would be faster for the consumer; this would be better for iTunes as well as the consumer.

Internet Marketing Survey...

When thinking of questions to put on my survey I decided I should try and keep the questions somewhat related. That is when I decided to have it focused on iTunes and our discussions on trying to improve it. Before I finished my survey I asked my 6 roommates (males and females) if they would fill out the survey when I was done. Most of them asked what it was about, but a few of the guys asked how long it was as well. I soon realized that the probability of responses would be greater if there were less questions.
