Bits of News

Since I am an avid reader of newspapers and magazines, I often find something I think others might enjoy reading.  I don't necessarily agree with what is written. Anything I post will always pertain to genealogy or something technical that we can all use (if I can figure it out first). Recently, I did a short piece on Facebook or Google. I also did several pieces on "Who Do You Think You Are?" and quite a few people responded. It was interesting to read what the critics in the entertainment field thought. One was a Genealogy software review from a magazine and the other for the above show. I had two others, but took them down.

However, I think some of the articles are interesting and here is the most recent. A little background first. Three weeks ago, I copied the review of WDYTYA? from Entertainment Weekly, an awful review it was. They gave the show a D. A lot of us were upset.  Fast forward to the recent issue, they give this Friday's show a "TV What To Watch" a nod. So they have gone from a negative to a positive. (I wonder if the ratings have anything to do with it.)
