just repost this because last time posted wrong. this article talks about some basic differences between Internet and Web.

This website provides tutorials on HTML, CSS, PHP, and Java Script. Under each category you can learn a history and introduction into HTML or CSS and then learn how to create your own website using the step by step instructions.

Not a bad site, Lauren, though I still think http://w3schools.com is better. Heaven knows there are tons of tutorials all over the Internet. Tons of books, too, of course.

(A little outdated, 2012) This is an interesting article about possible international telecommunication regulations; and how countries have been preparing for The World Conference on International Telecommunications for months "behind closed doors". Although the idea seems easy enough, I do not believe that all the involved nations could reach a single standard when it comes to rights of speech and censorship. Even more so, if a treaty was made how would this effect the laws and citizens of the individual countries who already have laws in place?

An article that goes more in-depth of the presentation I gave on Yelp CEO/Co-Founder Jeremy Stoppelman and how Yelp has the power of online reviews affects businesses.

Interesting updated article about skype spying!

Here's a great story related to the issue Milan raised of authenticity in photographs -- during any disaster, lots of fake photos circulate, such as these "from" Superstorm Sandy.

This is an interesting article about stars who are against photoshop or think it portrays an unrealistic expectation about how they look on magazine covers

A tutorial on how to put RSS code into a website and basic information and history of RSS.

This video shows a brief history into Wikipedia and how it works. In this video they interview the founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales who answers some questions about what Wikipedia is and how it works.

Listserve is a website that writes about lists of things strange and yet fascinating at the same time. This list definetly falls under this idea, and despite the fact that this article was originally published in 2011, most of the articles in this list are still up and running on wikipedia.

I found this to be really helpful if anyone is interested in the history of wikis. Wikipedia is one of the most popular wiki websites, but not the first.

Another useful link, Paola! Thanks.

Interesting article about Jimmy Wales and how he lives a modest middle class life, while running one of the most visited websites on the planet.

You should look up Craig Newmark, who founded Craigslist! Totally regular guy, although supposedly he's worth about $400 million.

Here's a recent article published in April about where people get their news.

That's useful, Milan, thanks. Note, though that it's not super-clear what "get" means in this context -- I'm sure a lot of people, like me, get their news from several of these sources. I get news from radio, the Web (including newspaper websites and Google News), and social media, and I'm not sure which of those sources is primary.

Here is just an interesting timeline of video game consoles. It does not reference open source issues, but shows the companies that produces each console and when each console was discontinued.

Great article of why there is a drastic statistical decline in people reading e-books

I found this article to be pretty interesting. It is about what scientists believe is to be the first book ever written (about 2,000 years ago!). I thought it was pretty cool!

website on UMUC breaks down the difference in sources and how to use them

This is an archive of google news stories. You can search for specific news events or dates and find the articles written and shared on google. I thought this was an interesting find with archives since it combined google news stories with archives we learned about today in class.

Just a short history article regarding a fire that broke out at the Library of Congress. This ended up destroying many of the resources the library had at the time.
