...THE INTERNET The internet is the largest computer network in the world, connecting millions of computers. A network is a group of two or more computer systems linked together. Types of Computer Networks Local Area Network (LAN) - two or more connected computers sharing certain resources in a relatively small geographic location. Wide Area Network (WAN) -two or more LANs. The computers are farther apart and are linked by telephone lines or radio waves. -The internet is the largest Wide Area Network (WAN) in existence. Servers and Clients Server -a computer that "serves" many different computers in a network by running specialized software and storing information. Client -communicates with the server to get the information it requires. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network each computer acts as both a server and a client. The World Wide Web (WWW) The internet is the physical network of computers all over the world. The World Wide Web is a virtual network of web sites connected by hyperlinks (or "links"). Web sites are stored on servers on the internet, so the World Wide Web is a part of the internet. HTML The backbone of the World Wide Web is made of HTML files, which are specially-formatted documents that can contain links, as well as images and other media. URL To get to a web page, you can type the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) in a browser. The URL, also known as the web address, tells the browser exactly where to find the page...

...com/exclusive/free5000subscribers/ Now let’s dive in... 1 I’ve got a quick question for you... If you’re looking to attract your first 5,000 subscribers, my first question I have for you is this: Does any of the following sound familiar? “I’ve worked myself ragged creating content, and nothing is happening. It’s like I’m working for free.” “I’ve tried posting to my blog multiple times per week, commenting on other blogs, guest posting, and pretty much everything. None of it is working.” “I’ve got no idea how to even get started with attracting subscribers. I write a lot of blog posts, but the traffic is just trickling in.” If you said “Yes,” to any of the above, block out 15 minutes and read this entire free ebook. Because it’s not your fault. Here’s the truth: Much of the “common sense” wisdom that “experts” share about building a readership is, at best, flawed and, at worst, flat out wrong. As an example, has anyone ever told you that “the secret to building a blog readership is by regularly updating your blog with engaging content each week?” That couldn’t be MORE WRONG. I’ve already debunked this myth on several occasions. You can read more about it on my blog. The real secret is about 80% promotion / 20 % creation. Read about it here. You see, many of these “experts” who dish out flawed advice fall into one of two categories. They are either: 2 A) Experts who built their readership back in the day, back when there was almost no competition. Back when it was EASY to build a readership. B) Experts...

...location. This enables efficient communications between supplier and donor programs and access to real-time information, so they can do their work much more efficiently to impact the local community. 2. Set up a blog Actually, I have a blog that I created several years ago. I use Google as a blog site because it is really easy to create and organize. As long as you got a Google account there is no need to special registration process. My blog is part of music portal that I worked previously. Therefore, there it is about musicians and their lives. Blogs need to be updated constantly because readers want to get fresh information instead of something they already know. 3. Start locationing with Foursquare I saw specials from Chuck E. Cheese, JCPenney, MAKS Mobile and Computers nearby me. Signing with a Facebook account makes a lot easy to add friends. And you do not have to add photo in order to use foursquare. Obviously, I do not like this kind of services because I do not think my friends really want to find out where I am. Personally, I am not interested in about current location of my friends either. That is why it seems me kind of silly. References: 1. http://www.businessnewsdaily.com/6234-crm-small-business.html 2. http://blog.tmhits.com 3....

La compañía ideo una campana de mercadeo llamada “100 Geek Dinners in 100 Days”. Cada cena iba a estar organizada por una persona. La cena se iba a usar para catar vinos por varias docenas de invitados en el Reino Unido y Estados Unidos. La pregunta que se hacían era como iban a conseguir 100 personas que organizaran una cena para catar vinos y como iban a conseguir que asistieran de 40 a 60 invitados a cada evento. La contestación a su pregunta fue la implementación de la tecnología Web 2.0. El plan de la compañía consistía en lo siguiente: • “Blogging”- El CEO de la compañía matriz de Stormhoek, Orbital Wines, en colaboración con Hugh Macleod, un muy conocido “blogger”, escribieron docenas de “blogs” sobre el evento, solicitándole a voluntarios que sirvieran de organizadores del evento. Entre las personas incluyeron a otros “bloggers” y a entusiastas de vino. • “Wiki”- Usando tecnología “wiki” le proveyeron a cada voluntario la información del contacto y localización. La tecnología “wiki” era principalmente usada para relaciones de gestión de clientes. Esta incluía caricaturas y otro tipo de promoción. • “Podcasts”- Usaron Web de contenido RSS para enviarle noticias y análisis de vinos a los correos electrónicos de los participantes. • Enlaces de Video y Fotos - El “blog” corporativo apoyaba...

...The Kollection: From Music Hobby to Startup and Beyond 1. How did Lovin come to recognize the opportunity for his young venture? Of the three types of start-ups mentioned in Chapter 3, which one does The Kollection fit into? What was the source of this opportunity? Lovin saw an opportunity in the market to share music “mashup”. There were already many different online music blogs, but they really lacked design and speed. He saw the opportunity to create a well-organized, visually appealing, and efficient website. The advantage that Lovin had on the other online music blogs was that he had web design experience. Unlike the blogs that were run by other high school or college students, he knew how to improve search results and increase traffic. The Kollection fit into the “new benefit” start-up. The idea of the business wasn’t really new, but he offered a better version of what was previously offered. Since online music was really just starting to expand, he jumped on the opportunity to be part of it. However, unlike his competitors, he delivered it in a well designed and well organized way. There were a few sources that really contributed to why The Kollection was better than other online blogs: the website benefited from Lovin’s web design experience, the free and fast downloading was available through Soundcloud, and the collection of music articles that was available from the authors working for Lovin. 2.

...For my blog entry, the topic that came to my mind was insomnia. Insomnia was the first thing that drew my attention when thinking about mental disorder. Personally, insomnia had an effect in my past, which will be stated when concluding this blog entry. The article examines the controversy of insomnia, symptoms, and what the causes are for the mental disorder. “Insomnia is the inability to fall asleep easily, or remain asleep throughout the night, or waking too early in the morning” (Jim Folk, Anxiety Centre). The controversy here is that insomnia requires a number of hours a person needs to sleep; statistically the number of hours was about 7-8 hours to get enough sleep. That number could differ depending on what age the individual is. What this means is that the older the person is, the less sleep they would need. However, the lowest number an individual would need would be 6 hours at least. Most people have occasional nights of restlessness, which is okay. On the other hand, a long rest is not the best scenario because it may lead to diminished memory, depression, headaches, impaired concentration, and an increase in risk of substance abuse. The answer that everyone is so keen to find out is what are the causes and conditions of insomnia. There are numerous reasons to how insomnia happens; consuming coffee or any type of caffeine, extended computer work, and etc. There are many more conditions that could cause insomnia, but the main reasons are mentioned above. There...

I had a friend launching a business + blog who chose a method that I now love to use and help other people use: she wrote (actual) personalized + purposeful messages to each person. This may sound very “duh” to you, but make sure each time you reach out, you include: * a personal note that lets someone know this is not the same email/message 300 other people got; make a connection on a hobby, interest, desire, or need of theirs * a brief description of the type of work you are doing now and why it’s so important to you * the ways in which your friend/contact can help you (Do you want referrals if your friend knows someone in need of your services? Do you want people to share your message?) * a clear way for people to practically do what you’re asking/hinting (for example: if you’re asking for people to share your brand on Facebook, give them a brief description and picture “if they so choose to use it” . . . or if you’re asking for referrals from a good friend, give them an idea of what they could email out to others–and perhaps even give them a sweet freebie to distribute) * a sincere “thank you” for the person’s time in reading your message and in helping you any way they see fit Are you at a loss for where to pull personal connections from other than your phone’s contact book and Facebook friends list?

...What Annoy Visitors in a Website or Blog. Hi Friensd! What might be responsible for a frequent visitor or follower of a particular website or blog to stop visiting the site? Many factors might have contributed to that. The following action of a Webmaster can really frustrate those people that normally visit his website or a blog and which directly drives them away. 1. Loading site with pop-up windows Pop-up windows are windows that open when a visitor reaches a page as well as when they leave the page. This can really annoy visitors. In fact, if you want to annoy them even further, open a pop-up window when they click on links on your site. 2. Disabling right click menu of the browser. Never mind that people need the right click menu for many purposes, and that they can access the same functions through the main menu bar even after you've disabled it. After all, if your aim is to annoy, you might as well make their visit to your site as unpleasant as possible. 3. Playing background music when visitors arrive to page and page is loaded with background music, they are likely to leave the site immediately because of the large amount of their MB that the site will consume. 4. Making every link on a site to open in a new window when visitors clicks on it. That is, put a target="_blank" to every link. This will annoy visitors since every time they click on a link in your site, a new window or tab will open. Imagine the number of windows those poor sods...

...communication channel scenarios assigned demonstrate the challenges that occur when there is error in communication. The first scenario highlights the risks of not choosing the right communication channel when dealing with important business matters. The scenario also shows what can occur when important conversations take place via e-mail rather than one on one, and how the evidence of the conversations can cause future damage. The second scenario shows how the internet has changed communication and created new challenges for organizations. Both scenarios demonstrate that it is essential to understand the different channels of communication. COMMUNICATION CHANNEL SCENERIOS 3 Communication Channel Scenario 1 In the case incident between Diana Abdala and William Korman, I side with Mr. Korman.

...Wilkins Wikis and Blogs Tools for Online Interaction Jane S. Grassley, PhD, RN Robin Bartoletti, MS Online education requires nursing faculty to learn teaching strategies that encourage students’ interaction with the course content, their peers, the faculty, and the technology. The Web 2.0 technologies of wikis and blogs can help faculty direct online learning activities that encourage peer support, collaboration, and dialogue. The authors discuss these tools and how they were used to engage students in a nursing research course. ince the mid-1990s, increasing numbers of people have come to rely on the Internet as a convenient source of information and education. In nursing, the growing need for convenient and nontraditional learning strategies fostered a proliferation of Web-based nursing education programs. Since teaching online requires faculty to use strategies that differ from those used in face-to-face classrooms, nurse researchers have investigated characteristics of online education environments that facilitate students’ engagement with learning.1-3 Thurmond concluded,3(p237) ‘‘Good teaching practices are deeply rooted in the concept of interaction.’’ MancusoMurphy4(p257) identified interaction among faculty and students as ‘‘the core element of an effective online environment.’’ Researchers determined that peer support, collaboration, and communicative dialogue were the characteristics of online learning environments that encouraged interaction.1-3 These can be facilitated...
