Journal Entry #4 

Mar 22, 2011

I did learn quite a bit this course. Learned about online collaboration, emails, blogging & micro blogging, wikis and how to use them for not social uses, but for educational and business uses as well. Nothing much for this course, mainly just focused on working on the projects and presenting them.

To be honest I never really thought about using social networking or blogs for business use. I mean, I knew that people did all the time but when thinking about the idea of advertising your own business comes to mind all I think about is the weird ads on the side of the web page or TV commercials.

As for educational use, I think that using blogs and wikis are good in theory, but since anyone can post and edit something I don’t think it’s a too good of an idea. So I would check several sites if I ever needed help with something.

I thought I did pretty ok for this course. Nothing too much that I couldn’t handle well enough

Now for some super awesome vocabulary time!

The administrative address is the e-mail address used for administrative requests, such as subscribing and unsubscribing from a list.

If someone sends a message to a moderated list, the moderator reviews the message, approves, edits, and sends the message to anyone, with comments or discards it.

A web-based e-mail service is an e-mail service available to a user through a browser and a web site. They are created especially (but certainly not limited to) for people who do not have a computer, but have access to the internet, like at the work place.

The social media is described as online tools that allow people to communicate, collaborate, and share over the internet.

The Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) sends newsgroup messages over an IP address.
