DISCOVERING THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF TWITTER

Well in this blog and like others I decided to express my opinion. To me twitter is a unique site like a facebook or myspace. To me is another one of those out there sites dedicated to tagging and social bookmarking GREAT! What happen to the good old days when facebook was use as away of keeping in touch with folks. Now have all these different sites thats copying a format that is already spoken for. My main questions is twitter better then facebook? Is it response time faster then any other site similar to it? HELP ME OUT HERE PEOPLE. LOL

news aggrigation

Well I just had the chance to read over some of the articles for this week session. I read the newscred article and the aggregation article. Mainly I took from these articles that certain online news sites arnt offering valid information on certain topics. Some of them even include blogs as there sources. To me its kind of crazy because I rely on certain sites like Google for news but from doing some research i discovered that they get their articles from different sites and then show the top ranked stories. To me this doesn't make the stories on Google news reliable because its coming from different sites which means interpretations of stories. THAT'S NOT A GOOD LOOK! :)

TAG CLOUDS R.I.P

This article was an OK read.I thought the cartoon was funny .From reading the article and looking at the little cartoon. The conclusion I came up with was that tag clouds have become cluttered to the point that maybe people are tired of seeing them.I mean from class we learn that the tag clouds has alot of the links a certain person is interested in and how a cloud can be a little spot to a big storm cloud. I took from the article that tag clouds have there place and mainly certain sites should be added to it instead every single web site you go to.

THE DELICIOUS SITE

Like I stated in the previous blog my prior knowledge of tagging was just limited to myspace and facebook. But through the website delicious you can find were other taggers share similar interest. That can be websites ,etc. To me this is wild because i didn't know such a website exist for just tagging. We actually learned about tag clouds as a form of a resume because it shows personal interest. My question is using tag clouds as a resume a good idea of gaining information about a person?

week 3 discussion in class(tagging)

we revisited the discussion of searching info on Google and we also discuss tagging. Which is a key word we use to describe something on the web. To be honest the thought tagging main use was for myspace or facebook. But it's also bookmarking. Which allows you to revisit a site or document or restore links through the web. This was amazing to me cause just thought tagging involved putting the name of a certain person on facebook and myspace. WOW i guess i really learned something today.

is google making us stupid

This article was a fun read. I like the image of the Internet patrol.To me it was like Dave was viewing something he wasn't supposed to and the Internet patrol try to stop him. To me in a since it made me think of a child using the net and is maybe in a chat room and then boom a parent (Internet patrol) steps in. When thinking about the Internet it has come along way when crating firewalls on what can and can not be viewed. Google takes an extra step protecting kids from viewing mature content by automatically blocking it out. SO in away I don't think Google is making us stupid , its really trying to protect to days youth.

getting past google

From reading this article and thinking about the class discussion this past Wednesday it really made think that today's my space ,facebook , and just plain web browsing society has to really be aware of we are putting out there. Like I stated in the previous blog any thing we but out there can be viewed by all kinds of crazy weird people. From listening to the class discussion and even being shocked about viewing my resume online. It made me thing about what other research options do we have and will there be any type of education of how to break apart certain sources like articles and web pages. From reading the article I kind of found an answer to my question. The article had mentioned that the student has to be educated on the proper places to find research info and they most also so know how to evaluate the source. The question that I have is will there be classes or seminars offered to teach the student how to break apart through certain info when there own the web.

class discussion

From the class discussion I learned that all information on the net isn't true and further more it isn't private. I learn through Google you can maybe found out about someones deepest secrets. It's crazy how your private information can be viewed and even used over the Internet. In some way me establishing this blog has me a little leery. But it also teaches me that we have to be a little more careful of what information we put out there......
