Its online presence looks impressive as it displays digital photo albums on a map of the world, but it's slow and unwieldy for the most part and may not be better than a standard travelogue site. This week, I took a closer look at the project currently named the World-Wide Media eXchange (WWMX)."

There is a program in the US called Big Brothers/Big Sisters. People volunteer to spend time with and be a role model to young people (kids, teens) that may not have such positive influences in their lives.

Not everything is a *&%#^@% conspiracy, people.
