From Zennie62, lost in the flurry of social media reports was the fact that New York, the media capital, was crippled in another way: its media outlets were rendered inactive.
This was true for many large data center online publications like The Huffington Post and Mediaite. But many small blogs that used popular free services like Blogger, were still up and running. The lesson: have both a self-hosted blog and a Google-hosted blog, or series of blogs, on Blogger, as Zennie62Media has. Then you won’t have to worry about dealing with blog service interruptions.

Hurricane Sandy: Mitt Romney’s Insensitive, Wants To Kill FEMA
New York, take note! According to Zennie62.com, Hurricane Sandy is more than just the perfect storm, it’s the perfect tool to out a campaigns message for better or worse. For President Barack Obama, it’s for the better, as an improved FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) was a central focus of the Obama Administration, which was anxious to avoid the problems caused by a less-than-prepared FEMA during the George W. Bush Administration.
Now, President Obama is tasked with doing his job: coordinating cabinet heads, making sure state governors know the resources they need are available, and getting the message out to the American public. Meanwhile, his Presidential Race challenger, Gov. Mitt Romney, has to deal with comments he made about essentially dismantling FEMA.

Amanda Tood and Shania Grey: YouTube The Difference
The hacktavist group Anonymous is up to some good.
The Internet Troll that was Todd’s primary harasser has been outed as Vancouver-area man. Since no charges have been filed, although police have been searching for a man, this blogger will not release his name. But this ugly practice of tormenting young girls online is finally being challenged. Gawker blogger Adrian Chen outed a man named Michael Brutsch, who was known as Violentacrez on Reddit, and posted what are called “creepshot” photos. He defended his actions, saying that he was just trying to “rile” up people online by using racist and sexist terms and images. More at Zennie62.com here...
