1. I enjoy this website, but it could definitely use a few improvements.
2. I don't think recycling is a big issue for Starbucks.
3. Not sure, but I'm guessing that there are complications behind it. It probably isn't just as simple as adding recycling bins to the stores.
4. I enjoy it, and I want to help make Starbucks better. Being a twice a day customer, I care about Starbucks.
5. At times, it can detract from other things because I spend too much time here. The site definitely gives me my daily dose of laughter because many of the ideas people post are so ridiculous. Hope this helps.

1. What do you think about this website?
I think this website is a great way to connect with others who care about the Starbucks experience, and a great opportunity for Starbucks to get a general sense of what customers want. There are some flaws with the mechanism, especially since all the old threads that pre-date negative voting have much higher point totals than newer threads. Also the blogs don't get enough visibility & use, and there are too many repeat threads which causes a variety of problems.
2.why is Recycling a big issue for starbucksRecycling is not a big issue just for Starbucks - It's a big issue for any corporation that wants to be responsible with limited earth resources. It's a part of corporate responsibility, and Starbucks is simply part of a larger awareness that it is happening with many companies all over the world.
3. why does starbucks have to wait all the way unitl 2012 to finally go recyclable.
You have been given wrong information in your post. Starbucks has stated that by 2012 all the paper cups will be fully recyclable. Other, easier aspects to recycling are happening now. Here in Seattle, there is already recycling at a number of Starbucks - just not paper cups. The challenge with the paper cups is that right now Starbucks uses a very sturdy cup designed to hold a very hot beverage and not fall apart. The cup has a thin plastic component to it which prevents it from being easily recycled in most cities. Starbucks could just switch to a cheap paper cup, but likely you'd see them following apart with very hot coffee in them. The real problem is not Starbucks, it is customers. There is a great need for customers to use their own tumbler and cut down on using paper cups. The first "r" is REDUCE not Recycle. But most people just want to blame Starbucks for not having a recyclable paper cup, rather than use their own tumbler. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMqH_c1zY_8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlfszjapNb8 The situation is far from perfect. Starbucks needs to speed up getting some of the easier recycle bins into their stores, but I see progress being made here in Seattle.
4.why do u post blogs comments and ideas on this website.Good question! I ask myself the same thing all the time because often I find myself getting angry at things that people write. I came here because I believed that we, together, can make Starbucks better: That collaboration and brain-storming leads to great things. I have doubts at times.
5 how does this website affect you. This website gives me a chance to connect with others who really care about Starbucks. That's the best part of it. It makes me giggle to see the many people who all call themselves "Starbucks number one fan" and I'm humbled to be around others who love Starbucks like I do.Also the "Ideas in Action" area provides a wealth of information that I link to for my own blog that I write (just google starbucks melody).

2) How do you feel about girl empowerment?
-gives women the same jobs and position that men have.(joyce)
-give men and women eqaul treament (camisha)
-its a good thing but some people take it too far, like women are starting to discriminate agianst men, the battle between the sexes need to come to an end.(samantha)
3)Do you think it is a good thing to talk to teen girls about sex?
-Yes, awarness is good, its better if someone told them instead of the streets teaching them.(joyce)
-yes because teen are going to explore sex anyways.(camisha)
-yes, but biases should be known.(samantha)
4)How do you feel about teenage girls learning about relationships and sex from a community websit?
- if these girls are not getting the full story then there may be consequences, they need to know that if they get pregnant that a baby is an 18 year responsibility that will cost money. most teens cant take care of themselves how do they expect to take on the responsibility of another human being.(joyce)
-in a way yes and no. some girls don't have anyone but Gurl does sometimes act more like a friend instead of a guardian(camisha)
-yes and no. gurl is there to help but sometimes the truth needs to be told.(samantha)
5) do you think there is such a thing as a website giving itsendusers too much freedom?
-yes because it might lead to teen pregnantcy.(joyce)
-maybe, its just an online thing, but some girls may take it seriously and could get pregnant which is bad, i want to live life to the fullest while im young and am not trying to grow up too fast.(camisha)
-not good, some of these girls on here are mentally immature and some of these feeling they are feeling really arent real, so they need some kind of good influence (samantha)
My Observations (Faatimah Muhammad)
HIV Awareness and Support Group (Faatimah Muhammad)
Hey everyone, I am a new member of the HIV Awareness and Support Group and I am doing a study about it for a paper in my English 112 class. If I could just get everyone to respond to this forum topic and at least answer one of my questions.Questions are as followed:
1. How effective is the HIV Awareness and Support Group?
2. What could the group do to become more effective?
3. Does this group attract members well?
4. What particular audience does this group attract?
5. Thinking as an HIV victim, would you turn to this site before various other sites, or would this site just be a last resort?
Everyone if you can answer one of the questions I would greatly appreciate it. Think if you were me and I were you, I'd definitely do it for you. Thanks!!!
Justin Lupo
Hey man, just lettin you know i sent out your request to some people. I'll answer your questions...
1. I was lookin for lifted Chevys for ideas and happen to run into cardomain so it was more like trail in error.
2, Not really sure. Most likely if they judge by performace instead of looks. For example, if you have a 1985 Chevy truck lifted for offroad use and a crappy body on it, come on who cares about the look and see how well it does in dirt.
3. I believe the blog posting should be reviewed before being posted for others to see just incase something is inaporpreiate.
4. Sure, why not? If people need help with something and need to ask a lot of people at once for an answer a message board would be key.
5. I think an IM would be cool to have here. Meeting friends is cool and having to wait for the comment to appear on your page or a message is a pain, an IM would be ideal.
I hope this helped you, just one question, why me? Theres a ton of people on here why did you ask me? not that i mind i'm just curious.
1.) How did you first hear about www.cardomain.com? Web search for cars.
2.) From your view point what would make this site better? It's pretty good the way it is.
3.) Do you think the blog post should be reviewed before they are posted? Should people be able to post whenever and whatever? Please express your opinion. Don't read the Blog's or have any interest in them.
4.) Do you think a message board would make this site better for mass communciation? Why or Why not? Really not concerned a getting messages or sending messages.
5.) Could an instant message function benefit this site (like on facebook and myspace)? Why or why not?
Have no interest at all in instant messages on this site. If I want instant messages, I'll use MSN, Facebook or something else.
