Netiquette

Netiquette is a set of rules you follow online. These set of rules help you to not offend other people and help you stay out of trouble on the net. It keeps in mind proper etiquette, morals, and ethics. Etiquette means to have polite behavivor when you are adressing a group of people. Netiquette helps to point out how easy it is to offend people. Sometimes people forget that there is an actual human being on the other side of that e-mail. It helps you to think, would I like it if someone said that to me? You may say yes or you may say no. Either way you must always keep in mind other peopels feelings. Without Netiquette the internet would be cluttered with rude people.

The War Between Facebook Users and Facebook Developers

I recently read an article called, "Facebook Users are Cranky, but Developers Like What They See." Basically, this article is about all the changes that are being done to Facebook. Many users of Facebook are fusterated with all the difficult and complicated cahnges that are being done. They want Facebook back to normal. Kevin Rose, who founded Digg, said in response to the outbreaks, "The fb news ticker reminds me of the hate when the news feed launched," he tweeted, referring to negative reaction Facebook's members had when the feature first launched in 2006. "Everyone will love/accept it in a few days... watch." The Facebook Developers feel confident in their new changes to the popular social network and state that this will follow the traditional cycle and soon will be accepted like always. Developers feel the changes were nesscacary and will make Facebook more efficient to use. Developers feel that after users get use to the change things will go back to normal. This artical was interesting to read and i might continue to follow on with the battle of Facebook as it progresses  http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/22/technology/facebook_f8_reaction/index.htm.

                            

RSS

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. Syndication means website material that is made available to multiple other sites. I think this defintion really helps me to understand what an RSS does because, a RSS (like Google Reader) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Basically, if i find a web site intersting and informing I can add the subscription to my Google Reader. By doing this I will get notifications when something new was added instead of having to check the website myself. It helps me to not waist my time by checking the website I like but nothing being new. Not only does it tell me when newsfeeds are updated but it tells me if blogs are updated too. RSS makes using the web much easier.

About Delicious

Delicious is a social bookmarking website. Basicly, this is the website you would go to if you would want to keep all your favorite websites in one spot for easy access. Because Delicious is a social bookmarking website I get to discover new websites by looking at the tags people post. This website is very useful because, it keeps all the blogs, music, reviews, recipies, and more things that you enjoy in an organized list. Also if you would like to discover new recipies or something you can explore tags and discover new things. This is why I think Delicious will be useful to me in my personal life when im looking for music websites or books and so much more. It will help me at school by being so organized and easy to use when my teacher tells me to get online.

Technology and Me

I use technology everday for all different reasons like schoolwork and etertainment. At school I use a computer everday in my online expeirence class. Also I sometimes have to type up a report at home or maybe reasearch something for a paper im writing, but thats not all i use computers for. I also go on the computer when im going on facebook or twitter. I sometimes check my e-mail, watch tv shows and movies, listen to music, or simply just browse the web, but my favorite thing to do on the web is play video games like Portal, Terria, and Amnesia. Thats not all the technology I use. I also use my phone. It's a blackberry curve and I use it to text, send pictures, go on facebook, and look at youtube videos all on the go. I wouldn't say i'm obssessed with my phone, i'm more obssessed with my x box 360, another peice of technology I use. I play video games all day sometimes with my cousin or brother. Some of my favorites is Assassins Creed, Black Ops, and Bioschock. I also like to watch movies on it. Of course i also have a tv where i watch all my favorite shows. The last peice of technology i use is my I pod. I listen to music 24/7. Technology plays a big impact in my life.
