Behka’s Links: Virtual Music
Kids, today on my Links post I thought I'd share something to make you feel a little more musical.

Kids, believe it or not, I spend a considerable amount of time on the internet.
The country music went world wide in June 2012. Stars tweeted from all over, including during trips to London, Australia and from the audience of the CMT Music Awards in Nashville. They serve drinks at that awards show, which led to more than a few funny tweets. Two of those made the Top Tweets of June 2012 list.
We're inundated with ads asking us to join this dating site or that. Chances are someone you know dates online, they just don't tell you about it. It makes sense. If they're not dating you, why would they want you to go online to see what they say about themselves in an effort to get the attention of the opposite sex?
I am a social media addict. I have both a personal Facebook page and a "Fan" page. I have Twitter and Google +. Not to mention Linked In and various other professional accounts. I use social media as both a way to entertain and interact with people. Finding the balance is a tricky thing.
I've written about over sharing. No. I'm not interested in what my closest friend had for lunch, so unless there is some benefit to me, I'm not interested in what my Facebook friends have either. Now, I'm noticing something else attacking our collective senses.
I was having a discussion with a friend of mine about Facebook. We came to the same conclusion: people share WAY too much on Facebook. A cute story about your kids or dog once in a while is interesting, but honestly, I'm pretty sure most people don't care what you have for dinner on a daily basis, every ache and pain that you feel or any of the other mundane things in your life. As a Facebook addict, I use this guideline: Would I call all of my friends to tell them this news? If the answer is no...well, it's not getting posted.
‘The Dark Knight Rises‘ tickets went on sale earlier this week and the first midnight showings promptly sold out in just minutes. Now, tickets to the midnight IMAX screenings are popping up on eBay and Craigslist for over $100; at times an almost 80% markup. Boy, we’ve heard about a ticket prices going up, but this is ridiculous.
For the first time, Domino’s Pizza racked up $1 billion in digital sales during a one-year period — and to celebrate, the chain is giving you half-off any pizza ordered online or using one of its apps.
Wake up. Sound the alarms. Father’s Day is on Sunday. It seems like we talk about Mother’s Day for a month before it actually happens, but Father’s Day just sneaks up on us every year. If this has happened to you and you aren’t prepared with a gift, it’s not too late.
Today's "Complete the Sentence" is inspired by some female friends of mine. Several of them are using online dating sites and receive many emails a day. When the subject comes up, they immediately talk about the bad ones.
