    Because she was forbidden from going into a studio, she recorded her own demos on the computer and sent one to Berklee college of Music, who promptly offered her their first Steve Vai online music scholarship. So now Arooj can study music (long-distance... for now) at one of the most prestigious music schools in the world.

  • Pew Center illustrates how Craigslist is killing newspapers

  • There's no question either that Craigslist dominates Web classifieds.


    "In the world of online classified advertising, Craigslist is by far the most
    used Web site in the United States," Pew said in the report. "In March 2009,
    classified sites averaged 53.8 million unique visitors, up 7 percent from
    February. Craigslist had 42.2 million unique visitors in the month of March."

The Globalization of Google. Going Global: Adventures in Web globalization and all that it ... - 0 views

  • Google handles more than 200 million queries a day from around the world.
    Increasingly, these queries are not in English. Over the past few years, Google
    has aggressively localized its search engine for more than 60 languages. These
    language-specific search engines are very important to Google's continued
    growth, since the majority of new Internet users are not native-English
    speakers.

Howstuffworks "How has technology changed the way we conduct business?" - 0 views

  • One of the biggest ways the Internet has changed business is through targeted advertising. Using Google, companies can specify
    the keywords that will drive certain customers to their ad. For instance, if you
    were to plug the word "baking" into Google, you might click on a page from
    epicurious.com. That epicurious page will have Google ads from sponsors who sell
    baking-related products. A company that sells rolling pins can pay to have its
    ads show up for people who search for specific words, like "baking," "pies" or
    "dough." It makes good business sense -- people who search for "baking" on
    Google will be much more likely to click on a rolling pin ad than the average
    person.

  • CNN) -- In 1994, most people had to call the bank to
    check their balances. Or inquire in person, or wait for a paper statement to
    arrive in the mail. Baseball box scores were found in the newspaper. Weather
    forecasts came over the phone from the weather bureau, or on TV.

      These changes are universal, everyone is impacted by it.
      Internet is 'the' form of modernization where access to information
      has been made easy.

China's Web Watchers - TIME - 0 views

  • A decade ago, the Internet was hailed as a breakthrough technology for promoting
    freedom and democracy because its pervasive reach would make it impossible for
    repressive regimes to control free speech and the flow of information within
    their borders. The Chinese government has proven this to be wishful thinking.
    Employing much of the same information-screening and filtering technology used
    worldwide to combat pornography and spammers, Beijing has built a Great Firewall
    of China that restricts viewing of scores of foreign websites (such as those for
    Amnesty International and numerous news sites); the government has also deployed
    tens of thousands of Internet police to investigate online crimes, including
    political offenses.
