Week 5 task -- 3D world

So ,that awesome class, I clicked Active Worlds, viewed the virtual life. Got some ideas of 3D. Actually i used play online game WoW(World of Warcraft), it likes a 3D virtual life, isn't it.

Then, whats the difference betweeen these 3d worlds and text based social networks. Firstly, I think msn or other IM tool, the friend list almost were your real friend and family. In contrust, the 3d chat room is more like getting new friend from there or have fun. Moreover, its different way to communicate....

In 3d enviromental place, you can dress, build and have some increment services(payed user). Its a sense of flaunt, pride? ehh ,i think its more dangerous then IM . However, its more lively.

lecture summary , Week 5

So ,this week lecture is very intersting. It talked about Media, social media, and web2.0. It was funny and ralate to our daily life. It's about new tech and networks.

Firstly, it's the idea of technology and media, virtual community and individual identity. It is different relationships between individual people or realms. Using these techology, people can contact someone similar and share interests .

Moreover, discussed the ego centric social network. It's not still a room for share interests, but a place for people to talk friend or family they already know. Focus has moved away from groups of people with common interests to networks where you (the individual) is the common thread.(lecture notes)

w4 task - qustions 2

1How do search engines rank the stuff they find on the internet?
who, or what, makes one page (that you might get in your search results) more useful than another one, so that it is put at the top of your search results?
2what are some of your favourite search engines? why do you like one more than others?

1. Basically, something most relevant will rank higher. For example, in conversation, Jack talked Maggie, Mike talked Maggie, Nick mentioned Maggie as well, so Maggie must be popular. In internet, link most like 'quote', in B website linked A = in conversation B mentioned A, if C,D,E,F all mentioned A, so, A is the important one, thats A will be rank highest. Thats called pagerank rate, if you wanna check your pagerank rate, you can click this google free toolbar: http://toolbar.google.com/.

Of course, for Google, or Yahoo some commerical searching engines, they will rank these websitle based on bid fees.

2. I usually use Google as my first search engine. Beacuse it briefly and concisely, at the same time, there are lots of extra function in google, such as maps, GPS, translate tools. Anyway, I am Chinese, when I serch for Music, Video, or picture, I always have another choice.

When I was in high school(1999), there is a communication tool that called OICQ become popular in people's life, it similar to ICQ. And this time, OICQ grown into China's largest and most used Internet service portal.tool in China I think. Like Msn or Facebook, most of ppl in China have this one.

Communicate frds or family with these new communication techonologies is much more free and easily, meanwhile, there are lots of optional to talk them in different ways.

Of course, privacy is always an issue of me using new tech. For instance,.From facesbook or google, other user can collect information about me or other user. Sometime I dont want to provide this information to that person. However, they can from my friend list or something relevant to get information easily. Yep, i usually got some trouble like that.
