      This is a useful site which tells me about the security of this site. This is the reason why I use fake name for many of these programs and release very little personal information. Several of the other sites talk about upgrades of this program with plugins. This site advises against it and how to set up stronger passwords and not to link personal MySQL server to connect remotely if working on a project with another computer. So updated security is essential and avoiding 3rd party plugins can be important.

      This site helps tidy up and customize your wordpress to look unique but I have to say after reading information from http://interconnectit.com/679/a-common-sense-wordpress-security-primer/ , I prefer not to use 3rd party plugins. A lot of this is coded customization like how Myspace.com first use to be.

    This site lists out 50 ways to help improve your blog, specifically for WordPress which is relevant to what we are using. It groups all the sections of WordPress and underneath those has tips to help that section. There was stuff that I didn't even know that would help improve the blog. However I'm not sure if we will get that in depth with our WordPress blog but nonetheless it's a good resource to look over.

    This article was another good one I found. Even though there are so many options it discuess but it breaks down into sections depending on what you are looking to change for your wordpress. The chunks the author chose to break these tips into are navigation, Design, Performance, Security, SEO, and other. Each section consists of 5 or more specific tips that fit into that category.

    D#6, HW#6-- I really enjoyed this website for many different reasons. Firstly, for the way t is set up. It is easy to read and enjoyable. They have a main bullet point to look at, and then list and shortly describe different aspects of that bullet point. Also, it covers just about every aspect from design, to performance, to even security. It has a lot of great information!

New media - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • New media is a broad term in media studies that emerged in the later part of the 20th century. For example, new media holds out a possibility of on-demand access to content any time, anywhere, on any digital device, as well as interactive user feedback, creative participation and community formation around the media content. Another important promise of New Media is the "democratization" of the creation, publishing, distribution and consumption of media content.
  • Most technologies described as "new media" are digital, often having characteristics of being manipulated, networkable, dense, compressible, and interactive.[1] Some examples may be the Internet, websites, computer multimedia, computer games, CD-ROMS, and DVDs.
  • Although there are several ways that New Media may be described, Lev Manovich, in an introduction to The New Media Reader, defines New Media by using eight simple and concise propositions:[4]

  • New Media versus Cyberculture -
  • New Media as Computer Technology Used as a Distribution Platform
  • New Media as Digital Data Controlled by Software
  • New Media as the Mix Between Existing Cultural Conventions and the Conventions of Software
  • New Media as the Aesthetics that Accompanies the Early Stage of Every New Modern Media and Communication Technology
  • New Media as Faster Execution of Algorithms Previously Executed Manually or through Other Technologies
  • New Media as the Encoding of Modernist Avant-Garde; New Media as Metamedia
  • New Media as Parallel Articulation of Similar Ideas in Post-WWII Art and Modern Computing
  • he Zapatista Army of National Liberation of Chiapas, Mexico were the first major movement to make widely recognized and effective use of New Media for communiques and organizing in 1994
  • New Media has also found a use with less radical social movements such as the Free Hugs Campaign. Using websites, blogs, and online videos to demonstrate the effectiveness of the movement itself. Along with this example the use of high volume blogs has allowed numerous views and practices to be more widespread and gain more public attention
  • New Media has also recently become of interest to the global espionage community as it is easily accessible electronically in database format and can therefore be quickly retrieved and reverse engineered by national governments. Particularly of interest to the espionage community are Facebook and Twitter, two sites where individuals freely divulge personal information that can then be sifted through and archived for the automatic creation of dossiers on both people of interest and the average citizen.[
  • The new media industry shares an open association with many market segments in areas such as software/video game design, television, radio, and particularly movies, advertising and marketing, through which industry seeks to gain from the advantages of two-way dialogue with consumers primarily through the Internet.

    The wiki page has everything one would need to get a brief overview of what new media is. Within the site it gives all the different definitions of new media and how it affects people.

    This webpage made me understand more about new media in terms that it talks about new media being interactive. I didn't get that from Manovich's artice.

    I felt like this website gave a good simple explanation and it also provide examples of the history and the applications of new media.

    This was the best website i found because I was honestly confused after reading the article so this breaks it down in less than 20 something pages and makes it easier to understand it explains everything there is to know about new media.

Chapter 12 instant messaging

  • According to America Online’s most recent survey, 26 percent of its users use IM at work. Of that 26 percent, 58 percent use IM to communicate with colleagues, and 49 percent use it to get answers and make business decisions.1
  • IM allows users to transfer files and images, which can be dangerous. IM was originally designed for entertainment purposes. The software did not take into account the possible transfer of sensitive data such as electronic personal health information.
  • IM software has a very basic technology structure, which creates many security issues.

  • Managing records of IM chats is tricky and exists in a gray area legally. Are IM chats part of daily business records and thus the patient’s record? Depending on the content of the discussion, certain messages may need to be kept. Activity that contains electronic personal health information or involves a patient and that’s passed between users should be logged and audited.
  • The reality for many organizations is that IM is already in use, regardless of the threats involved
  • To IM or not to IM, that is the question. IM has its advantages and disadvantages. Do the risks outweigh the benefits or do the benefits outweigh the risks? Every organization should carefully consider both when deciding whether or not to use IM.

    This is an interesting article about the pros and cons of IM's in the health care industry. It's funny how everything seems to come back to legal issues these days.
