Today I'm reviewing a book that I'm sure all of you have read. It's about magic, dragons, flying broomsticks, and friendship. Have you guessed? Yup, it's Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling. Many of you already know how this book goes, so I'll review the series as a whole. I couldn't put any of these books down because they were all so great. The imagery described really created a whole new world. I also like how Harry, Ron, and Hermionie are really good friends. You really don't see plots like that anymore, and this was a relief. For me, "Order of the Phoenix" was a bit boring, but the story quickly picked up again towards the end. If you haven't read these books, go out and get them!!!
Keep reading!

Mark Zuckerberg
Here's another class post!
Mark Zuckerberg is one of the co-founders of the popular social networking site Facebook. (I'm sure many of you readers have a Facebook, but I don't, so don't try to find me on there.) Zuckerberg first started programming in the 1990's, and his father even hired a tutor for him. He later went to Harvard University in Massachusetts, where he studied psychology and computer science. At Harvard, he joined a fraternity and met his friends and later co-founders Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin, and Chris Hughes.Zuckerberg is also red-green colorblind. This makes him see the color blue best, which is coincidentally Facebook's dominant color.
He and his friends originally began Facebook as a Harvard site, so everyone could interact with one another easier. This eventually spread to other schools and is now a worldwide website. Many major companies tried to purchase the fast-growing website, but Zuckerberg and his friends kept it. Their original goal was to make the world open, and have everyone on the planet connected. Today, Zuckerberg gains 24% of Facebook's profit. This has helped him to become one of the youngest billionaires in the world.
