Themes From Internet Studies.Day3

When we say Internet studies we have to put in mind...

• Virtual community.

which mean human feeling on web forms.

• Individual identity.

Identity play "be someone else".

• Shared interests.

In Early times (groups shared the same idea).

• Ego-centric social network.

mostly focus on self interests "center of attention" rather than group interests.

Important time in the history of the Internet "WEB 2.0" year 2000

Tim O'Reilly and his Friends restored trust and faith back to the Internet,which produce

the "web 2.0" concept. And here some the features...

• Organising knowledge (using "tags" on posted items).
• User-generated content (Make our own stuff).
• Open API -Sharing data between services.

Social Media

• web blogs(blogs,mob logs,micro blogs"twitter"etc.
• Social network services (SNS's) like (Myspace/facebook/blogs) etc..
• Content sharing communities ...such as (flicker/YouTube/blip) etc..

But for some this services has some drawback to it ...

Your information is open for the public "used mostly for marketing , Ads or Economy".

you should ask yourself these questions ..

• who owns your stuff?
• mostly about social people (Friends) and there no anti-social ?
• are we consumers? or creators?
• what role will you play in the"social Media "landscape?
