Homework #5- Joey

Posted on September 19, 2012 by | Leave a comment

The common crafts video on social media was a great way to explain the idea of social media through example. This video was easy to see and very short, it showed how social media has its big corporation and small markets.  It also explained how every market had there on share of distribution which is the same in social media, every blog or website gets there own share of views and people see their opinions.  Also showed how every person has a say in that they could express what they thought about while they read the blog or newspaper website. The article  “Linked Data gives people power” showed how in the internet people could help others in many ways, it could be just by comments or rating.  It told us how citizens helped make a map of dangerous bike routes just by putting in reports of where accidents have occur to help future cyclist.

Wiki… What – Sabrina Martinez HW5

Posted on September 19, 2012 by | 2 comments

I started using Wiki about four years ago and me being a student that hated technology I did not know that the public can actually edit the information until the first week of school. I think that it is awesome that anyone can share any kind of information from any part of the world.  I began to use Wiki for study purposes while attending the Ass. Radiology Program at City Tech and now I like to use Wiki for travel information, like what are fun things to do when you are in Saratoga Springs, or what are the best hotels in Florida.  You can get so much information from Wiki however, it becomes a problem when you do one search and you get about 10,000 different hits of information that you have to take time out and go through what is worth reading.  One issue that I tend to think about is, “Who put this information up and how true is the information?” I guess I always leave it up to my judgment to decide.

Wiki_ Homework 5

Posted on September 18, 2012 by | Leave a comment

We all know of wikipedia but then again this article Charms of wikipedia was very interesting. Nicholas Baker went through some negative and positive points in using this website. It all depends in the way we could use and in my opinion I would rather use wikipedia for random search which has nothing to with my school research, because after reading this article I could tell vandalism has existed for a while. Which does not give me the confidence to use the information posted in wikipedia, but browsing wikipedia with the many topics this web page has, may be interesting and fun to see. Knowing there are different editors with bits of knowledge in Bakers term ” it’s like some vast aerial city wiht people walking briskly to and for on catwalks, carrying picnic baskets full of nutritious snacks.” Full of controversies, opinion, ideas and bits of knowledge.
