TRYING TO BE A CONSUMER CITIZEN!
I was taught to save my money, but I spend my money all kinds of ways. I buy DVD movies and Stargate stuff on-line. I occasionally buy tickets to see movies at the theater-Student price. I go discount shopping for clothes in stores. I try looking for discounts on various books and movies through sites like Half.com. My shopping habits seem to say that I love to spend money on things that I like, but that I’m a person that will look for bargains on those things. In the future, I want to be able to control the amount of buying that I do. I spend when I have money, and I try not to when I don’t. When there is something I really want I wait a few days (if I can) and then if I still want it, I go and buy it. This is who I am as a consumer citizen.
FOR THE LOVE OF IMDb!
I only visit around ten websites regularly. I wanted to choose my email accounts (UMBC and Yahoo) or Facebook. BUT, Facebook is a cliché since our class is titled it, and my email accounts really does not have advertising that change to have any impact on me or any one else that I could think of. On the other hand if I think about it I do go through Yahoo home page to get to my email account. The page does have one advertising area that advertises various things from cars to food, but other than that it has various news headlines around.
ANYWAY I choose IMDb. The ideal viewers of IMDb are movie lovers, anyone who wants information on a certain movies, or people who want to know entertainment news. IMDb advertises movies, and various companies (Classmates, Monster, etc.) through pop-ups (which can be avoided if you have a pop-up blocker) and in a small advertising area on the different movie pages. The ads are random, because it seems geared to older people. However, I know that many college age students view IMDb on a regular basis. I can say that the ideal viewer is the actual people viewing it.
It attracted me because it’s a movie database, and it’s really accurate. It has a Wikipedia feel to it, and it can be wrong sometimes, but it has very interesting and good information. I love movies and I love finding out little things about movies and actors in general. The news section on the main page keeps me up dated daily on entertainment news. It is actually how I can check if any thing is true or not. For example, my friend told me when Heath Ledger died , but I had to check IMDb to see if it was true.

I guess I don't view IMDb as much as you do because I'm not exactly a movie buff, but it is an excellent resource.
I LOVE IMDB! I'm on that site everyday. When ever I need to look up a specific actor, show, episode, or movie I go to that site. My sister, a huge movie buff, goes there constantly.
I've found a whole slew of cool movies by checking out the movies credited to actors I like. It's fun to hunt down lesser known movies that never "made it" but have really good actors in them. I'm glad to see you like it as much as I do.
