Reaction #4 to required Blog List

From Slashdot, there was a very perverted blog posting that indicated that a 54 year old German man was getting involded with porn through the use of Avatars. This is very disturbing sincenew technologies are continually being used for malicious intent. Avatars now provide sick individuals such as this man a means to covering up his true identity in order to trick younger women and perform these heinous acts. The article was titled "Germans Pursuing Kiddie Porn In Second Life" and can be found here.

Edit #3 to "New York Yankees" article

For my third and final post to the wikipedia article "New York Yankees", I updated the most current news about the team that Roger Clemens had signed a new contract with the team on sunday and is expected to play in early June. This is tremendous news for Yankee fans since he is still very dominant. For my edit, I wrote "The Yankees signed Clemens to a tremendous deal that equates $28 million on a prorated basis from the first day he is added to the Yankees' Major League roster. Many question how much he will be able to help the Yankees win a World series since he is currently 44 years old, but Roger Clemens made it clear that winning a championship is the only reason he is coming back." This edit was placed at the end of the section labeled "The 21st century (2001-Present)".

Post #4 on Class material

For my fourth and final post on class maerial, I would like to comment on the article we read in class "how digg.com is democratizing the news". I think the democratization of the news is a great, and unique idea that does have a lot of potential. I think it helps solve the current news problem today that it is very uniform, and owned by a few large firms. This gives the news a chance to be published by people and should shed new light on different subjects. Also using RSS feeds to filter news that interests any one person can also be very convienent. However I do agree with some of the critics that bashed this idea in the article. It will be interesting to see if digg does begin to shape into a tabloid type publication. Those types of stories are entertaining and may dominate the popular front page if they get the most hits.

Edit #3 to "New York Mets" wikipedia article

For my third and final edit to the wikipedia article "New York Mets", I added a breif update on how the mets are performing in the current 2007 series. In the section titled "2005-present: Minaya takes the reins", I added the line "From the looks of the first month of the season, the Mets and Braves should batteling all season for the top spot in the National league East Division".

Reaction #3 to required Blog List

From Diva Marketing, toby worote an interesting article called "Crisis Management in the Year 2007 and beyond". This article addresses the issue of rapidly notifying people during an emergency in the most effective and efficient mannor. This article was spurred by the tragedy that occued at Virginia Tech, and one possible solution that she had mentioned was devising a text messaging system that could contact students on campus. I have heard of this type of system before and think it is a great idea. Text messaging is easy, fast, and nearly everyone has cell phones. I know companies are also starting to implement this communication median in case of an emergency. My dad who works for Avaya, had told me his company implemented a text messaging notification system in case of emergency as well since they all have corporate cellphones.

Edit #3 to "Rockville Centre" wikipedia article

For my third and final edit to the wikipedia article "Rockville Centre", I made a small gramatical correction in the section labeled "Miscellaneous Facts". A previous contributor had spelled Rockville Centre wrong by having the "e" before the "r" in centre.
