    What does it mean to leverage social networks? To leverage social networks, is to use social networks in order to promote their product, such as using it as a tool for advertising. Define digimarketing. Digimarketing basically is marketing, but based and interacted with the social media. Businesses would do advertising, selling products, etc. online for customers that are online. Explain the mistakes marketers make with social networking. Marketers are not using the 'social' side of the social networking sites as an advantage, and just promoting, instead of interacting with their customers. Like for example via Twitter, some marketers try to take advantage of the 'Twitter trend', and promote their product using the words that are trending, so that more people will see, even though their product has nothing to do with the trending word. This may lead to negative comments from users.

    1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business, E-commerce 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Online Newspaper companies, newspaper subscribers 3. Identify one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. Globalization 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. - Groupon: a deal-of-the-day website that is localized to major geographic markets worldwide. Launched in November 2008, the first market for Groupon was Chicago. - LivingSocial: an international social buying company based in Washington, D.C. They specialize in daily deals offered in cities across the United States, as well as in Canada, Europe and Australia. - TimeLiimited: is a service just like Groupon, which emails its readers on special offers for travel and living terms The New York Times newspapers are going to start using the internet, and connection of the companies to its subscribers for a fee to their advantage, even though there is a slim chance now. It is the spread of public communication of news, the latest trends, and discounts to events and merchandise while connecting directly to personal communication means of its subscribers (through their e-mails). 5. If possible, describe a solution to the concern (issue). Straightforward copying Groupon is not the answer for the success online. The New York times might be able to have a chance against Groupon and LivingSocial, but these two big groups have already topped the business of connecting companies with deals to its customers and subscribers for a fee. The companies should be able to manage connection between merchants and their customers. The New York Times would have to come up with special deals that appeal to users, such as a subscription discount, so on, and so forth to grab customers' attention from Goupon and LivingSocial to the New York Time's TimesLimited. The process involves sending people e-mail offers and discounts from companies and service providers, then charging a fee for

    Describe the major areas of search engine optimization. m12 nov 10 alec
  •  
    1. Building Quality Back Links to Your Website - the way to a better ranking is to have quality websites link to yours. Such as websites in you niche or social media websites. If your site has these types of links search engines are more likely to give you website a higher ranking. 2. Anchor Text in Back Links - using anchor text also gets you a higher ranking, for example: if you use the URL www.sourcelinemedia.com - then the search engine only sees the site domain as part of its rankings. If you use anchor text such as Website Marketing and Design then search engines will rank you higher for anyone that searches for website marketing or website design. 3. On Page Optimization - Using key words helps to optimize your websites hits during a search. For example a site that has many key words relating to the information in its articles is more likely to get a hit on a search because the words relate to what they are searching. For example if you search Social Networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr would come up as the top few hits.

    Omo GPS stunt opens doors for marketers 1. Identify the area of impact the scenario relates to. Business and employment 2. Identify the main stakeholders to the IT system. Buyers who buy box of detergent, and users of technologies and companies like Unilever, Google, Microsoft and Apple 3. Identify and describe one ITGS social/ethical concern in the article. The main concern in this article is privacy. The article shows the detergent company detects their consumers who bought products with GPS for their event prize. It means, this intrusive behavior can find where you live where you go if you become the target. Besides, Google or other social networking site also makes use of people's personal information without their consent. This truly destroys your privacy, the right to decide how much information you will show to others. Furthermore, there is possibility that somebody gets your information from these companies and give harm to you, such as robbing your house 4. Describe ITGS terminology and systems. GPS- space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions, anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites social networking site- a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. 5. Describe the solution stated in the article or find a solution to the concern (issue) discussed in the article. One solution to stop these intruders in your life is enacting strict laws that companies can't detect where their customers live and get the consent if they use the information. Government should protect citizen's privacy from danger. Companies should get consent if they want to use customer's private information, and if customers don't want it(such as stoking customer's house) they must stop to intrude other's privacy.

Android's biggest security flaws | ZDNet - 1 views

    Android is widely accepted as being iOS' greatest rival, but, according to Dell SecureWorks security researcher Timothy Vidas, it has a host of issues that have made it a target for malware authors. Poor permissions: the huge host of permissions that users must understand are driving them into information paralysis; they are choosing to ignore the warnings presented to them, and not considering whether they may be dangerous or unnecessary. Open marketplace: Google Play does have an automated scanning program called Bouncer, but its effectiveness is as yet unknown. Therefore many Russian and Chinese alternative markets basically distribute 100 per cent malware Inexperienced or malicious developers: if they don't have any malicious intent, the developers could introduce new vulnerabilities into the target device, or create features that have unintended side effects.

Great Debate: Should any Internet freedom ever be sacrificed to fight piracy? | ZDNet - 10 views

  •  
    Agree or disagree? all feb 10 soobin
  •  
    Agree Agree to some extent. Internet freedom can be sacrificed only to a certain extent to fight piracy. Getting rid of internet freedom is basically the same thing as shutting out the communication lines of the world. The source of the reason why piracy is done is mainly due to the fact that people can't afford the items that they wish to use, or need to use, because they are ridiculously overpriced. These industries don't think that way because they want profit, however, if piracy was stopped, then no one will buy their products anyways because they still can't afford it. Popularity of the product will decrease, and the marketing of the product basically just failed. We need to compromise something so that piracy is decreased until there is no more. But suddenly stopping everything in one shot with something like SOPA isn't the way to go. Disagree I disagree. The internet should be free and open. We need to educate people not to download pirated software, movies and music. Doing so is the same as stealing from a shop, which most people would not do. Most people would be prepared to pay small amount for the right to download these things. If governments try to remove websites, it is the same as censorship which sometimes happens in dictatorships but should not happen in free societies. We really need freedom for the internet, so that we can easily share our own ideas, and thoughts. Unlike China, where people can't even talk gossip about governments, which is a basic human right. But China is still very famous for internet piracy. The United States should not have the power to prevent freedom of internet because they are not the world's police force. They should not have the power to dictate what happens in the rest of the world. That's why internet freedom should not be sacrificed.

    The Piracy Problem: How Broad? Why are copyright violations are a serious problem? Copyright violations are a serious problem because it is equivalent to stealing. A person who watches from free online movies doesn't realize that all the people behind the movie used their time, labor and energy to create that movie, not to mention the amount of money that was used to produce the movie. So, to broadcast it to as free movie is truly unfair for all the industries concerned. Describe two advantages and two issues with illegitimate downloading. Advantages: (1) People around the world who can't afford to have it have the option of having for free. (2) It is available anytime, anywhere in the world. Issues: (1) Million of dollars as revenues and earnings are stolen from industries (movie, music, TV, etc.). (2) It will cause the affected industries to increase the price of their "product" when purchasing it legitimately. Explain two possible solutions to this kind of piracy. Possible solutions: (1) If people around the world really see stealing as a morally corrupt practice, then let us all shun away from the use of the internet. (2) If we can't afford to avoid the disadvantages of the Internet, let us all practice, encourage and teach honesty. This golden virtue is the only potent cure against SOPA and PIPA. Not enough is being done to tackle cyberbullying, according to the NSPCC. Give examples of cyberbullying. Some examples of cyberbullying are the following: receiving nasty text messages or e-emails 24/7. Describe possible solutions. Some possible solutions are the following: students must not give their mobile number to acquaintances or other students who are their close friends; never chat to anyone whom you don't know; when you received nasty text messages from your mobile phone, change your mobile phone number right away; and lastly be very selective in choosing whom to friend in FB or in other social networks.

    Why might some people want to use tablets? They are lighter and easier to carry around than PCs and easier to control because it is touch screen so you don't need a mouse to control the cursor, and just touch the screen. It may not be good for typing up documents, but they are easy for online searches as you don't need to sit down, open the laptop and search, but just do it on the spot.

    Does the Net allow more freedom or is it a tool for governments and businesses to control us? The Net allows both. The users can roam freely to their discretion where and what they want to put onto the web. It is just a matter of a country censoring the content, or the user self-censoring what is to be put on the web. Also, the governments and businesses both can use the Net to their advantage. The government can learn and find out various information of various individuals and trends of the public through the Net's social networking websites and other portal that have discussion between citizens themselves. Business are able to keep track of trends to see what is happening, such as the stock prices to what people like to eat, listen to, what they like to use. Thus the businesses are able to stay in business a little easier through knowing the information from the web. The businesses can also advertise themselves through the net, and that way, it is actually faster than having actual offline campaigns and advertisement. Therefore, the net can allow us both. We are free to use it more than let it control us. It's just a matter of fact that higher class society, social ranking, or economic status-ed has more chances to controlling the net due to their connections with the higher ups. Yet, censorship and surveillance is everywhere, and thus doesn't allow absolute freedom.
