This week we looked at the results of the survey we participated in last week. A few of the results, gathered by the SurveyMonkey webpage, were quite suprising to me such as the question asking us whether or not we thought 'E-mail was God', out of the 87 responses, 12 of us responded with yes. I would've thought that more of university students would be bowing at the feet of the almighty e-mail, but judging by the low percentage, I was wrong. Other results showed that we spend an average of 2.85 hrs a day online. Further results showed that 55% of students accessed email daily, over half the class use email daily. With technology constantly evolving and improving, it's hard to tell where we will be in the years to come. Something I do know is that email is not dead, but it's clearly not as alive and kicking as it was when it first washed up on our shores in the early 90's.
Readings:
handbook for bloggers- I found this reading very helpful and interesting. It's something that I found myself refering back to constantly while updating my blog and editing certain aspects of it. A few of the terms in the glossary section that really helped me during this tutorial were-
Blogroll- List of external links appearing on a blog, often links to other blogs and usually in a column on the homepage.
Content Syndication- How a site's author makes all or part of its content available for posting on another website.
Permalink- Web address of each item posted on a blog. Handy way of permanently bookmarking a post, even after it has been archived.
RSS Feed- The file containing a blogs latest posts. It is read by an RSS Aggregator and shows at once when a blog has been updated.
