Should we start counting towards 2012

Despite the fact that 100,000 flights on international level were cancelled, stranding of hundreds and thousands of travellers, disrupting schools and businessess, the current volcano eruption is only a teaser of a chaos to come.

Eyjafjallajokull erupted on 14 April, Forcing the European governments to impose a no-fly zone. Thousands of flights were cancelled and many people stranded on their airports. ''Katla'' is tipped to erupt in the coming months, potentially causing much more savage and sustained disruption. Since the past 2,000 years that the Eyjafjallajokull has erupted, Katla has exploded within six monts.

Many things were rumored and said true the minds of the so-called professors and scientist. 2012 should be the year that the earth will be destroyed by nature. The Mayan calendar predicted this also. Many times we said that this was just crap to scare the people and the society, but with things like this happening true out the years and months, I am getting the fear that maybe not everything is just made up. A volcano erupted in a land not even near Holland and all the flights were cancelled. If this volcano had such a huge effect, I am afraid that ''if'' the other one erupts we are in a far more dangerous situation. This time we did not pay attention to it because nothing fell down on us but the question here is. Should we actually be feared and pay attention to mother nature?

Freedom vs. Business

Who does not use twitter these days?

Almost everyone has a twitter account and socializes with each other. Because of this huge success even twitter has turned his eyes on money and has made his first step to introduce the ''ad service''. Known as ''Promoted Tweets'' twitter starts with a revenue on public offering and advertising.

The independent Wed. 14 April*

Such a shame, Twitter was well known as the social place where everyone could easily write his or her experiences in their lives. The website had an easy structure and simple layout without any advertising. Just when we thought that we would not get annoyed with all these promotions and advertisements’, twitter starts of a new ''revenue''.

In my eyes it is totally unnecessary to start such a thing. But as always when money comes in play, everything and everyone will change in less than a second!
