Wikipedia turns 10 - 0 views

  •  
    Wikipedia turns ten years old this month. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia that is open to anyone with an internet connection to write on any topic that they see fit. IT is more of a starting place for research on things because of its open user format, but those dedicated to Wikipedia usually come in and remove any nonsense that a person, place, or event may accumulate. The founders of Wikipedia could have easily made a fortune, but in turn decided to make Wikipedia a non-profit, charitable business.

iPad Apps That Government Workers Use on the Job - 0 views

  •  
    The Apple iPad, one of apple's hottest sellers, is seeing frequent use by those in the government sector. With the seemingly endless amount of apps available for use with the iPad, many help government workers to become more efficient. The apps that are seeing the most use include twitter, quick office, evernote and flipboard. Twitter is helpful to disperse quick messages to others in the work place, and obviously has social networking benefits as well. Quick Office is seeing a lot of use as a microsoft office productivity tool. Evernote allows the user to take notes, record sound bytes, add pictures and video, and other helpful pieces of information into one "note" that is easily dispersed to others in one piece, together. Flipboard is presented almost as a "personal magazine", where feeds from social networking sites and other sites the user selects appear directly on the iPad's interface.

Newsletters as Social Media - 1 views

  •  
    Despite the outstanding growth of places like Facebook and Twitter, the majority of information on the internet is still shared via e-mail. Crafting a newsletter for your organization remains to be the easiest way to get in touch with contributors and other interested parties. The age discrepancy has to be something to overcome, and in that sense, e-mail still covers the largest percentage of users worldwide. As a young person, it may be hard to remove yourself from the Twitter and Facebook dominated world, but more times than not the old ways still work the best.

These images appear in magazines and in other places and you take a picture with your smart phone and the image links you to a website. Nonprofits use these for advertisements and virtual tours and is free to do.

More Americans borrow neighbor's Wi-Fi connection - 1 views

    Although this article speaks mainly about protecting yourself on a network I think it applied very well with this class. It offers many good tips and points as to precautions to take to protect yourself. These precautions are important to consider especially if any work at your non-profit or public place of employment can be completed outside of work at at perhaps a local "hot-spot". This leads me to wonder how safe the new cellphone hot-spots are.

Europe Seeks Ways to Lower Data Roaming Charges - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • BARCELONA — Neelie Kroes, the European telecommunications commissioner, said Monday that she was likely to seek new regulations to put an end to the “rip-offs” that Europeans face when using data services on smartphones outside their home countries. Speaking at the opening day of the Mobile World Congress, the industry’s largest convention, Ms. Kroes said limits placed on the charges operators charge each other for mobile data roaming, which were enacted in 2007, had failed to significantly lower the charges consumers paid.
