      Make sure that you justify how skype is part of workflow software. Also, you may want to pull out how the new skype lets you screenshare and record a movie of that and has all these productivity add ins to help workflow go.

      This should be written like a wikipedia article in 3rd person so you'll want to rewrite this - also the current news section needs quite a few hyperlinks. How about all of the Google Docs and google type things that let you compute in "the cloud" -- also, things like timebridge let work flow around the world. Look at other things that help people work together like Elluminate, for example.

      Not sure I understand this- but I will give you some examples here - how about SIS (student information systems) like SASSY and Powerschool that let teachers and administrators look at information from home or school and also let work flow from one person to another.

      words and stuff - this is sort of written in jargon and needs to be cleaned up a bit. Also, there are no citations and hyperlinks - how do I know that this is true? Examples of workflow software here including the article I posted to the Flat Classroom group that show that the White house has gone "open source" with the whitehouse.gov website, using something called Drupal.

  • Workflow software can be used many ways for a government as well as politics and employment. Working as a group simultaneously is very important to fulfill some kind of difficult work, like administrating works such as Microsoft Sharepoint . Since the work that big companies do is very complicated and intertwined over and over with the part that do not really seem to be related that much, workflow software is almost mandatory to practice. Same as in politics and employment, the organization, association use this program for more efficient work capabilities (for their own profits).

  • a new team to track down people who make anonymous comments about companies online.
  • the numbers of disgruntled employees looking to get their own back on employers or former employers was also on the rise.
  • a story from six years earlier about United Airlines going bankrupt was voted up on a newspaper website. This was later picked up by Google News and eventually the Bloomberg news wire, which published it automatically as if it were a news story.

      Is it possible to have accountability AND anonymity? Must these be mutually exclusive?
  • This is known as the ‘Streisand effect’ online, after a case where singer Barbara Streisand tried to suppress photos of her California beachside home from a publicly-available archive of photos taken to document coastal erosion.

  • If you allow a lot of anonymous debate by people who are not regulated, you can get it descending to the common denominator. If you allow people to register with an identity, even if it’s not their real one, you bring the level of debate up.”

  • the ‘Wild West’ era of the internet was in some ways coming to an end, with firms starting to crack down
  • I think companies are still grappling with whether it’s better to take it on the chin and hope people don’t see the comments, or on the other hand cracking down on everything that’s particularly damaging that’s said online. Maybe this is set to change.”

    While this article starts out about a lawfirm in Birmingham UK that is going to "track down people who make anonymous comments about companies online" it becomes an amazingly poignant article on the very nature of the Internet today and the push pull between anonymous commenting and accountability of the commenter. Push pull between free speech and online identity and brand protection. One person in this article claims that this sort of thing is the sign that the "wild west" of the INternet is coming to an end. Oh dear, I hope someone invents a new one if somehow anonymous commenters are now going to risk such! Also love the article's discussion of the Streisand effect wherein Barbara protested the sharing of some photos of her eroding beachfront which caused a stir and more people looking at the photos than if she had left it alone. This article is going to be a must read for Flat Classroom students and would be great for college-level discussions as well.

    Important article that would make a great video story for someone predicting how the Internet is changing - with commenters being hunted down by companies!

  • In the 2000s the Internet grew to an astounding level not only in the number of people who regularly logged on to the World Wide Web (WWW) but in the speed and capability of its technology. By December 2009, 26 percent of the world’s population used the Internet and “surfed the web.
  • The rapid growth of Internet technology and usage had a drastic cultural effect on the United States. Although that impact was mostly positive, the WWW caused many social concerns. With financial transactions and personal information being stored on computer databases, credit-card fraud and identity theft were frighteningly common.
  • Hackers accessed private and personal information and used it for personal gain. Hate groups and terrorist organizations actively recruited online, and the threat remained of online terrorist activities ranging from planting computer viruses to potentially blowing up power stations by hacking computers that ran the machinery. Copyright infringement was a growing concern

  • At the turn of the century, most users accessed the Internet by a dial-up connection in which computers used modems to connect to other computers using existing telephone lines. Typical dial-up connections ran at 56 kilobytes per second.
  • raditional communications media such as telephone and television services were redefined by technologies such as instant messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), mobile smartphones, and streaming video.
  • The Internet changed the production, sale, and distribution of print publications, software, news, music, film, video, photography, and everyday products from soap to automobiles.
  • With broadband, Internet users could download and watch videos in a matter of seconds, media companies could offer live streaming-video newsfeeds, and peer-to-peer file sharing became efficient and commonplace. News was delivered on websites, blogs, and webfeeds, and e-commerce changed the way people shopped. Television shows, home movies, and feature films were viewed on desktop or laptop computers and even on cell phones. Students researched online, and many parents began working from home for their employers or started their own online businesses.
  • It was also becoming increasingly easy for users to access it from Internet cafés, Internet kiosks, access terminals, and web pay phones. With the advent of wireless, customers could connect to the Internet from virtually any place that offered remote service in the form of a wireless local area network (WLAN) or Wi-Fi router.
  • In January 2001 Apple launched the iPod digital music player, and then in April 2003 it opened the iTunes Store, allowing customers to legally purchase songs for 99 cents. Although federal courts ordered that music-sharing services such as Napster could be held liable if they were used to steal copyrighted works, Fanning’s brainchild realized the power of peer-to-peer file sharing and the potential success of user-generated Internet services.
  • Email was the general form of internet communication and allowed users to send electronic text messages. Users could also attach additional files containing text, pictures, or videos. Chat rooms and instant-messaging systems were also popular methods of online communication and were even quicker than traditional email. Broadband made other popular forms of Internet communication possible, including video chat rooms and video conferencing. Internet telephony or VoIP became increasingly popular f
