Business interest in cloud computing has picked up since Amazon started offering storage and computing services over the Web about three years ago. Google and Salesforce.com are the other two early leaders.

I know that some of you reading this wont be very interested in this news, because its what insiders have to keep track of, but for those who are, a popular blogger from rotorblog.com which many outlets draw information from regarding techworld news says its actually quite possible.

From a Pimphop.com perspective, we have ALWAYS known full well that you cant have Ray Ray ,Billy Joe, & Rachael Sue up in your venue without soon seeing a property value decline , from the people that they attract. For those who dont get what I just said.. its not meant for you.
Just be sure to respect the dress code!!!
We interrupt our regular programming with this “disturbing†post regarding an interesting trend reported by Web analytics and trending company Hitwise. Hitwise’s Top 5 Social Networking Websites Ranked by Market Share of U.S. Internet Visits showed that both MySpace and Facebook which are occupying the top two spots are suffering from a slowing growth. Is this a sign of what the future holds for social networking sites, or is the saturation of the social networking sites and the proliferation of niche social networks affecting these two top social networks?
According to the Hitwise report for, MySpace is still the number one social networking site in terms of market share despite suffering from a decline from July’s 68.23% to last August 2008’s 67.54% market share. Comparing this with August of last year’s 75.04%, means that MySpace suffered a -10% loss in market share.
Hot on the trail of MySpace is Facebook which despite of gaining 50% market share from August 2007’s 13.68% to this year’s 20.56% still posted a loss from July’s 19.48%. This only shows that although Facebook has gained tremendous amount of market share for the past couple of months, it has all of sudden declined from July to August.

Now, what in the world motivated you to click on this link?
Chances are, that it was the SAME EXACT reason why legendary
Celebrity Photographer Anne Leibovitz popped off a few shots in an effort to get you to pick up the latest copy of
Vanity Fair, or perhaps Google up some Racy images that were leaked on the web of Miley Cyrus involved in some GIRL PLAY.
So lets get into it shall we?
She (Miley) is the 15 years young offspring of popular Country Music star Billy Ray Cyrus
known now and forever as Mr. Achey Breaky Heart.
The whole current debate resides over her apology for posing in Vanity Fair magazine, in an artistically nude setting.
Miley states- “I took part in a photo shoot that was supposed to be ‘artistic’ and now, seeing the photographs and reading the story, I feel so embarrassed,†Miley said in a statement released by her reps on Sunday.
“I never intended for any of this to happen and I apologize to my fans who I care so deeply about.â€Â
Call me NEW FASHIONED, but what is there to actually apologize about?
Is there some form of an UNMET NEED which inspired her to appear in such a fashion?
sprightly; piquant; pungent: a racy literary style.
4.
having an agreeably peculiar taste or flavor, as wine, fruit, etc.
It all sounds agreeable to me!
For PR purposes, I would have to conclude that since she is a Multi Billion Dollar Brand, whose target audience SHOULD be young teens, the Disney Corporation would have to accept some of the moral responsibility in regards to the image that she is presenting to the public.
Interestingly enough, you also have a peer pressure factor which indicates that while Miley is acting as a role model for millions of minors, she and millions of others of her age group may have been influenced by the ones before her who have acted as role models, in a trend many know as the Girls Gone Wild Effect, with many of todays current female icons or Hollywood Party Girls representing for the cause.
Madonna, who actually has her last Warner Brothers Full Length album in stores now

made her bones in the industry before Billy Ray Cyrus, was GETTING HIS BONE ON resulting in the avatar currently known as Hannah Montana.
One of my mothers favorite sayings is that there really IS no such thing as a coincidence, and that everything is RELEVANT and RELATIVE.
(Miley Goin’ PIMPHOP???)
Britney Spears & Christina Aguilera were actually BOTH apart of the Disney Talent Roster as minors with some another current celebrity notables Justin Timberlake who brought sexy back from wherever it went.

AHA!!!
Now we know why so many star athletes want to go to Disneyland following a championship game.
Back to the lesson at hand.
This is simply a small list of the current trend we are now experiencing in Pop Culture , and it all looks strikingly similar to what I may encounter on a daily basis in my travels to popular social networking sites(Myspace,Facebook) as well as public places such as malls, clubs or college campuses. There are plenty of galleries here at PimpHop.com with the same play by play footage!
While many parents may be somewhat disgruntled with Miley Cyrus, and her team for the decision to show some skin, many of the teens that are following her would probably be wondering what the hold up has been and why Hannah Montana has been so out of the loop in regards to the status quo standards.
Is the only thing that is blocking Miley Cyrus from expressing her third and soon to be released alter ego her age?
If so, perhaps many of her real fans would be marking off calender days until her 18th birthday similar to what we saw with the Olsen Twins.

Ill wrap up this installment with an important PimpHop.com F.A.Q.
Q:What is it the difference between some of todays top female celebrities, and some notable adult film stars and entertainers?
From what the numbers and recent signs are showing, it is time for us to give you an even more in depth view of what this cause/brand represents.
In the business of entertainment via 2009 with New Media slowly approaching the status of Main Stream,
making it the New Main Stream a.k.a. Game Stream, the saturation of women on the internet with a desire to reach stardom has been overwhelming for some. Due to the fact that the Internet has somewhat equalized the playing field, it has at the same time led to a saturation of the market, which actually shows to be undermining the value of the content.
Its the same thing over and over again, yet it does not detour many women from putting forth at least a minimal effort at presenting themselves to the world at large. It would require a lengthy explanation as to why I have the information to share with you, yet at the end of the day, like may things, there is actually a DEEPER CAUSE and INNER MEANING behind why this phenomenon is so prevalent at this point in the worlds history. Call it a spiritual matter for the sake of this discussion.
Therefore, I invite you to go ahead and preview the video clip below, which is an actual demonstration of what the true desire is regarding this new age phenomenon on the Internet.
What we are witnessing is known as the Goddess Principle , in philosophical circles, and who better than me to asses it? In order for it to continue to flourish and continue on its natural course , it needs to be brought to the frontal point of your awareness.
We are not scarred to take you there, so this will be the only entry from me for today as the time has come to thoroughly concentrate on this initiative.
Please be sure to note that the criteria has nothing to do with ethnicity,culture, or any other form of division amongst humans, as this tendency is spread through out the world, which has become a smaller place due to the connection capabilities of the web.
In closing, from this point forward, when you behold the following image,
it can be classified as a call to action, which leaves you with the choice of involvement, and to what extent if any you wish to participate.
One time for your mind, and back with another episode.
Today , I again did not get the chance to travel too far from home, as I had a no show for an afternoon appointment which allowed me to complete some much needed upgrading and expanding for the spring season.
I did have a chance to sneak over to the local mall for a few hours before the
Laker Game which is on now.
As I was relaxing, I happened to gaze across the mall court, and saw that a new day spa had recently opened, I believe it was on Sunday that they officially opened their doors.
It had to have been the name that caught my attention, as I was thinking about the difference in existence between myself, and the average Joe, between the hours of 3-4 pm.
After that I made it downstairs and passed by another place of interest.
Its called the matinee, yet I have to look up the actual definition, yet sometimes I may be found on the inside, and will have to visit more frequently and stop being lazy with the um…
official studio released DVD versions of the latest movies.Yet and still, its all in the name of fun.
It was a short, get out of the house and from behind the computer trip, and not much else.On my way out, as similar to the very first image, I guess I call my self venturing into the art of photography and this is my work.
Ok, its my first day back on the job, so give it some time. And since this is an intimate affair at www.PimpHop.com , I can let you in on the fact that my goal is to actually turn this little daily activity into a lucrative business venture, because looking at this post after it is complete, when I ask if I would be interested in being a patron at the movies or some woman I am with at the Day Spa, or the automotive dealer that sold this truck, the answer is ABSOLUTELY. And so would you, so its publicity, marketing, promotion, advertisement, and entertainment all integrated.
