Describing a photo.



This photo shows Salerno, a city in Campania. It was taken by a plane. It's a coloured photo, In the background we can see mountains and some houses. On the left there's the motorway that connects Salerno to Reggio Calabria, and it's called A3. On the right there's Tyrrhenian Sea. In the middle there's Salerno with its houses and its buildings. In the foreground there's the harbour of Salerno, that is connected to many cities. I like this picture because it shows a wonderful landscape of Salerno, one of my favourite cities, and it transmits a sense of tranquility.

Confessions of a tweeter.

This is an article of The New York Times where Larry Carlat talks about his experience with Twitter . He says that he started to tweet in 2008, and before long he started to post 20 to 30 times a day, and soon his life was based on tweeting. He says that it became an obsession: for example, when he was out with his friends, he used to go into the bathroom with his iPhone. He also posted when he was asleep, using a web site that let him tweet. After, he lost his job, but, after a year, he got a job at men's magazine, but his boss told him that someone in H.R.* had found his tweets and was shocked, because they were a violation of the company's socialmedia policy. He had a choice: to delete the account or face termination . He decided to leave . He also separated from his wife, but, finally, he decided to stop posting, and now that compulsion has gone.
