Much Hype on Madonna

There is so much hype on Madonna trying to adopt another child from Malawi. Reportedly, she wants to become the parent of a 4-year old girl. But her plans are on hold for now. She went before a judge in the African nation today. However, the court will not decide whether she can adopt the child until Friday.

I have mixed feelings about this. As much as I commend Madonna for doing such a deed. I often wonder about the first adopted child from Malawi. I mean, I would really love to hear how he's doing and is he learning about his family in Malawi? Don't kid yourself - I'm sure she faces a lot of challenges raising a black child.

President Obama in Europe

President Obama will bring a full agenda to the G-20 Summit in London today. The G-20 consists of finance ministers and central bank governors from the European Union and 19 countries. This group represents 90% of the world's Gross Domestic Product.

First on the list: creating a global stimulus package, preventing protectionism by individual countries, helping developing nations that have been hit hard by the recession and toughening regulations on financial markets.

Of course, the Presidents has his work cut out for him, trying to convince world leaders to get on the same page.

So what makes these online social networks so addictive, is it looking at the photos from the party last night, chatting to your friends through the wall, playing them flash games with your friends or checking in on your friends life? You tell me.
