Just in time for the show.
Google+ has connected the dots with some Showbiz A Listers by offering the chance for its users to hang out with the Black Eyed Peas on Google+ before the go onstage as stated on the bottom of the Google.com Homepage as of 2pm PST.
A short, simple, yet extremely innovative move on the part of Google+ giving them the +one up on the other guys.

Greetings Earthlings!
(T.G.I.F.) Thank God It’s Freeday.
The month of September 2011 has been a fruitful one with even less effort than in the prior month of August, so to continue on with this process, I decided to close of the month on a solid yet enlighteningly simple note.
This month marks the point of large scale change and progression in the arena and industry that has been affectionately labeled as Social Media, and along with it, the age old question of privacy and the demand for it has also increased along with a decline in the supply of it.
What we will do for the sake of this discussion is simply FALL BACK to the beginning of this best selling book to offer what I believe to be the most authentic and accurate description as to the subject of inadequacy and the need for privacy as it is in this
New Age of Information, and since one of the most popular technology companies on the planet actually borrows its brand symbolism from this story and book, we can venture together to see if it also provides some additional insight and accurate representations of what is unfolding according to the script and current storyline.
3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
3:9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?
3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
3:11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Moral of the story?
For the complete version of the script and subsequent scenes, I invite you to visit www.bible.cc, an extremely valuable resource for information on matters involving human existence.
In regards to the above stated, while there are many perspectives on this popular ideological and allegorical drama, I see it as a simple case of cause and effect as the need to cover up evidently stemmed from the feeling of nakedness, which to the best of my understanding is actually synonymous with inadequacy (naked) creating a subsequent need for privacy (hiding), and as a bonus point of insight, I would be willing to wager a claim that most if not any parent is to varying degrees familiar with the scenario of having foreknowledge of a child’s wrong doing simply through the observation of their behaviors which reflect some form of an attempt to cover up, often referred to as a what?
You’ve guessed correctly.
A Guilty Conscience.
To good health in the month of October 2011 and beyond as a different perspective to consider.

I Selected The "MAKE MONEY" Template!
Welcome Home.
Moving forward, I kid you not when I say that the Google algorithms may be intelligent enough to actually match my key strokes, cause my browser to close, and then open back up on this log in page for Google Sites asking me to log in with my Gmail account info and add the service to my Google+ profile services menu, which is now the same for all of my Google or Google sponsored services including but not limited to YouTube.
I took a trip around to see what was available, and the screen shot above is what I came up with, and while some of the more artistic and graphically inclined may be able to put forth a better presentation, at the end of the day, I am fully aware that the demand for
ones own is one of the primary driving forces behind social media, as individuals simply wish to have their own personal and customized space on the web.
When I looked through the available template selections, I after 3 consecutive minutes was not able to reach the bottom of the list that indicated that there may be thousands upon thousands of available templates for each user to customize to their own preferences.
For whatever reason, as I scrolled back to the top of the list, the template that jumped out at me was the one that was named Make Money, contributed by some East Indian brother named Dhruv Gupta, and I just charged it to the game and moved forward with the process.
In closing, I guess one of the draw backs is the fact that I was not able to locate, or easily locate a vanity url option as currently with Google+ as well as outside third party or personal hosting options, yet where one may have to make sacrifices in regards to vanity and ego in that area, I believe that since this service is now added to the menu on my Google+ profile, Google can actually compensate for the missing ingredient due to the simple fact that the Google Ad Sense program is also embedded into the service which indicates that Google is actually interested in a mutually beneficial situation by offering its contributors some portion of revenue sharing for the traffic that comes to a Google Site, as all of the services for blogging and social media do not offer the slightest opportunity to gain anything other than a chance to be noticed and perhaps a feeling of recognition and importance, and since Google is a multi billion dollar organization whose primary source of revenue is in advertising, it actually does appear to be a plus as they can afford to offer this program to its users, and at the same time offer its Google+ social media service free of that same key ingredient that leads to profitability in the first place for these Internet powerhouses, which is in the form of advertising.
Let me repeat as a different perspective to consider.
I have searched throughout the Google+ website far and large and have yet to see any form of third party advertisements.

Lets switch up the flow today by expanding our horizons and pondering on this audio clip about telepathy.
As far as my personal two cents, it seems like Internet technology in and of itself is actually an aid in and precursor for the process of telepathy.
Then again, its just entertainment as well as business as there appears to be a sales pitch embedded inside of the message.
Even on the cosmic and astral plane, it’s still about business!
