This Wikipedia page shows all the available online resources open to the public.

Interesting, Taylor. Notice that that page is part of a project called "The Resource Exchange" and/or "The Wikipedia Library." I was just talking to a frequent Wikipedia editor named Jake Orlowitz the other day who's volunteering with the Wikipedia Library; we're going to try to bring him to campus to give a talk. If we do, I'll let y'all know. Thanks for the link!

Wikipedia's page on the different XML editors that are available.

Probably no one in the class will ever need to use an XML editor -- and in any case, really you can just use a plain text editor -- but thanks for finding it! Everyone I know who creates XML uses oXygen.

Fascinating article from the Wall Street Journal on Google and how they are handling China's censorship laws.

Even though Prof. French gave a rather in detail tutorial of Zotero in class, here's a visual guide in case you get lost!

This website provides a list of 20 shortcuts you can use google for. This list explains how you can maximize the google search engine in order to find a wide variety of information quickly. Enables the user to use google to answer everyday questions easily.

(A little outdated, 2012) This is an interesting article about possible international telecommunication regulations; and how countries have been preparing for The World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?

Interesting updated article about skype spying!

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.

I found this as a fun video. T This video is in respect to today's (27SEP13) Google Doodle (or Game). It shows an individual changing the HTML in order to "Win" or achieve a higher score for the game itself. These steps can be done by anybody. However, I feel like this individual has too much time on their hands and could be putting their skills to better use.

The fundamental principles by which Wikipedia operates can be summarized in five " pillars"

I attended one of the Open Access Week events in which a contributor from Wikipedia came and spoke about Wikipedia. I found the presentation to be really interesting. He spoke about the five pillars of Wikipedia (which we've already learned about) among other things.

Thanks, Paola. I'll add 5 points to your Exam 2 grade when I grade it.

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.

This CNN article discusses research done to determine what young people do online. Concerned parents may not want to read this.

Here are other sites that are torrent sites, thought it was interesting after seeing the BitTorrent presentation today

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

Here is a good list of different people that are behind big sites on the internet.

An article about a recent incident in China where a group of people were found to be selling fake scholarly articles to academics and producing fake medical journals for sale.

if you had Google Chrome, now you can use the voice search on it.

This article by the NY times back in 2010 explains how China's censorship on the internet, mainly google is creating a wide variety of issues.

This article the the NY Times explains how the Obama administration is making sure everyone has access/knowledge to a computer

I thought I would post this site where you can make word clouds for our final project, if your interesting in adding some media to it!
