    This article shows how companies are using social media as customer service tools. A man had a problem and sent an SOS out on Twitter. GM responded back to him directly with a tweet and then later turned to Facebook for more character space. This goes along with Ford's article that web and social media are being used for customer service.

Fair Use Evaluator - 0 views

  •  
    I thought this was a pretty interesting find! It's a free tool that evaluates fair usage. You enter the context, purpose, and nature of your intended use and it's effect on market value or the value of the copyrighted work, and then it calculates the fairness for you.

    Being able to produce a document that the audience can understand is key to this whole process. That being said, the PSA is a great guide that is flexible to just about all documents so this website is so handy in giving another idea to a writing tool and gives help/examples to other kind of documents. http://writing.colostate.edu/guides/ Desaray K.

    This is my favorite online writing resource by far. Purdue created an interactive module that you can go through to learn several different formats of writing. This covers APA, MLA, and CMS styles of writing and also has numerous tutorials on general writing, teaching, research, job search writing and more. The module that most concerns our project is the Visual Rhetoric module. It gives ideas on how to apply colors, visuals, fonts, and designs to incorporate into displays.

    I agree - this site lives on all of my browser toolbars. I confess that I sometimes just browse, looking for nothing in particular. I should probably seek therapy. A *great* resource.

    I love this website because it has something for just about anyone. I use this resource for work, helping my kids with their homework and my own homework. It has so many resources and with the different writing styles it covers helps with the different professors that I have worked with. This site will help me with Project 1 to use proper grammar and writing mechanics.

    This was my favorite bookmarked relating to Chapter 1. It is quite comprehensive and touches on a lot of what was covered in the chapter. I find this very usefeul.

    This is actually appears to be an online textbook for a technical writing course. I found that the introduction and many of the examples/models were great tools in helping to understand chapter 1. Also, I think the page in itself is a great example of technical writing.

(D#4, H#4) Wall Street Journal - 0 views

  •  
    The home page of the Wall Street journal is a site that I think has adhered well to the good use of design principles we have discussed. Certain elements (location of links, tools, etc) are consistent, repeated no matter where your in-site browsing leads. It is always a simple matter to return the home page, and the content, though varied in topic and section, are placed and located in instantly comfortable page areas. The use of color and contrast to delineate different sections draw the eyes right where they need to be, and the fusion of advertising and written content is fused seamlessly. This website is nearly overflowing with all manner of content, yet the design and appearance of the home page is neither cluttered nor confusing. I believe this is an excellent example of the successful use of C.R.A.P. design elements.

    This article examines the blog's sidebar, one important element that can be either a total waste of screen space or a useful tool to assist the readers in navigating the blog. The article functions on the utility of the sidebar layout and is aimed at making it a valuable resource for both the author and reader as a way to highlight key information while providing the audience a convenient way to access the materials we aim to present.

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]

  • 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.
