I’m sure everybody has tried to find themselves or other people on Google at least once before, but were you dissatisfied with the results? There is a website that you can do a people search and find anyone located in their collection of entries. This service provided by Spock is much more intuitive than any other particular search engine I have used previously. When you search for a person, you are displayed with tags related to them, related people, related news and related web links. This makes it much more useful than sorting through over a million pages provided by a regular search engine. The other great thing about it is by clicking through on the other links on the person’s page, you get other related material.

So naturally, I had to try the application using one of my favorite High School Musical actors, Vanessa Hudgens. As I already had some background information on Vanessa I knew what to expect from the related material. I was right in seeing High School Musical as one of the tags and Zac Efron as ‘boyfriend’. It was kind of interesting to note that even the latest scandal with her “nude photograph” was listed as one of the tags. I think that controversial issues such as that should be left outside of the tags and placed into related web links. People should be searched on good attributes and not-so-good attributes should be left into other categories. The other great thing is the ability to produce “widgets” of your searched person with which you can place on your blog or site (like mine ). Below is the widget that you can use provided by Spock:

Next time you need to do some research on a particular person or even see if you are on Spock, take some time to head over because you never know what kinds of things are on the web these days.

16.Even though its the last day of school, its ok to leave stuff in the locker for the summer.

17.If your family is “saving pennies” for your college education and gives you a junky truck to drive, it is normal for their kitchen to have granite counter tops and a $7,000 fridge.

18. Pianos can float now. Go ahead, try it.

19. It’s perfectly acceptable for a guy to wear girl’s capris.

20. If you’re upset, just run through a golf course, jumping and spinning, while singing “Bet on it”…you won’t fall at any point, and no one will stop and think “what the hell?” .

“GET YOUR HEAD IN THE GAME!”

For those of you that don’t know what Zanessa means, it stands for Zac and Vanessa mashed together. Apparently the High School Musical stars are back together according to Just Jared. They were spotted having lunch at Aroma Cafe in Studio City. Zac also picked up Vanessa in his new Audi A6. A few days later they were also spotted having lunch at a pizza place, again in Studio City, California. They were both wearing those so called “friendship rings”. So does that still mean all good things come to an end?

The headlines are screaming “Zac and Vanessa Officially Split”. Apparently all the hype about Vanessa exposing herself on the internet has broken their relationship. Some say that the pictures were meant for Zac and some other sources say that Vanessa has been cheating with some other guy. The story I find the most convincing is that Vanessa was spotted at a Hollywood Hills party where witnesses say that she was all over this guy. When someone mentioned Zac, she threw a hissy and said “don’t mention his name”.

The main concern here (LOL) is the affect of the cast on High School Musical 3. It just won’t seem natural to anyone anymore. I think that if the cast were to be changed after these series of events, the popularity will skyrocket - down. Anyway that’s my headline for today.

High School Musical couple is no more
