Firefox Has The "Restore Session" Feature

In the event of a power outage, or if your computer stops responding, you can just exit and restart Firefox (don't restart your computer). When you relaunch Firefox, you will be given a choice to "Restore Session". When you choose this option, you will be taken back to any webpage you have been browsing before(including password protected pages).

Easier Access To Browsing History

With Internet Explorer, finding the 'browsing history' section is like finding the Holy Grail. I mean it! With Firefox, there's a highly conspicuous, separate tab fully devoted to your browsing history. In case you get lost while browsing 10,000 pages in an hour, you can just visit the 'History' section and toggle between pages that you have visited before. And yes, with Firefox it's easier to delete your history archives.

The Mozilla Firefox Interface Is Less Cluttered

Have you noticed that Internet Explorer sometimes takes longer to load than Firefox? This is because Explorer has more tabs/features/add-ons, and this is not necessarily good. When users browse online, majority of them don't care how many features are available on the browser. They just want to check their email, watch some Youtube videos, read the news etc...whatever they wanna do, they wanna do it faster!

Another thing, the Internet Explorer interface takes up too much screen space. Firefox is a breath of fresh air. It is less cluttered with features that you don't need anyway. There's more room for the webpage itself. (To be fair to computer geeks, Internet Explorer has more features to spend time with and explore on).

Firefox Automatically Opens .PDF Files -- No Need To Download

Online reports and e-books are pretty much popular online. These kinds of files frequently come in .PDF format (a file that can only be opened with Adobe Reader). With Internet Explorer, you cannot read .PDF files online. You need to download them before you can read them. That means, if the PDF file has some sort of viruses or malware attached to it, or if the source website is malicious, then you acquire those dangerous elements into your computer as well.

With Firefox, you can open PDF files online without having to download them. It's safer, faster, and it saves disk space. Ain't that convenient?

So, tell me, which browser are you using right now?

Barack's Digg Profile

Thats right, Barack's on Digg. If fact for a busy politician running for president, he's pretty active and has submitted and popularized some great stuff.

How Obama Stands On Almost Every Issue

A rundown of almost all of Obama's standing on issues from civil rights to the environment to corporations and war. If you're new to learning about Barack Obama, visit this site first to learn more about how he stands on almost all the deciding issues during a election. You can find his stance on almost anything here.

Obama's Facebook Profile

Like Obama's myspace page, his facebook page is very similar. The fact that he is reaching out through mediums such as myspace, facebook, flickr and twitter shows dedication to the youth and trying to connect with them and get them involved with politics and their country.

Barack's Twitter Account

Yeah. He Twitters too. In fact he has great tweets, and their not pesky or bothersome. An informative way to keep up with where he is, who he's speaking too and campaign news from Barack himself.

Baracks Official Wesbite

This link will take you directly to his official campaign website and stance on the issues. I have also included a link with a summary of more of his views in broader categories and his voting history.

Obama's YouTube Channel

Barack's youtube page is the first place to go for new campaign videos, videos of his speeches, meetings, debates and so much more. Almost 1200 videos and countless hours of everything you could ever want for in front of camera appearances.

Flickr Stream

It's pretty cool to see Barack's Flickr stream, where you see the pictures from a president elect's point of view, and not just user submitted photos of him. You can also keep up with where he is, because he has thousands of photos.

Barack's MySpace Profile

If you're a big myspace fan, friend him and check out his myspace. It's similar to his facebook and his official campaign page. Having a myspace page, hopefully he can connect with and encourage more of our youth to do more research and get involved with their countries issues.

Wikipedia Barack

Check Wikipedia for more information on Barack. If your not a wiki fan then go to his website. But wiki has a great database of information about his early life and early political career.

Official Voting History

Check Obama's voting history since being a senator. This is for you if you are a die hard fact checker, you can see how he voted during each of the sessions, on each issue.

Stance on Foreign Policy

A great question and answer session with Barack about his stance on foreign policy, from war in Iraq, to Chinese growth and development, to Iran and North Korea. Great to hear it quoted directly from Obama instead of it being transcribed ten times over by the mainstream media.

Daily Kos

Daily Kos is the biggest political blog on the internet and is a liberally leaning democratic grassroots blog. The idea is activism and contributing editors that are selected through the Kos community. Daily Kos will almost always be in discussion over Obama's political track, many times breaking news and uncovering follies of big media conglomerates.

Hopefully these websites will encourage people to learn more about Obama and educate themselves, their friends, peers and family. Becoming active in politics and issues that directly affect you is crucial, especially for our youth. Voting is the number one easiest way to get involved.

Wikipedia's policies are what provide the guide to creating a successful encyclopedia. They create a way to show what is needed in a user created encyclopedia to be successful. The policy about verifiability says that all information that is not common knowledge must be attributed to a reliable source. This means that even controversial material on Wikipedia must be supported by another source. Another policy reffered to as Neutral Point of View (NPOV) says that each topic must be explored from all points of views to create an accurate article on a topic. This allows Wikipedia to be a reliable source when learning about a topic

The community that creates Wikipedia is an essential component as it applys the policies on Wikipedia to create an accurate encyclopedia. It is also the people who work to keep Wikipedia an inviting place to find information. This environment is created by many advances in technology; most notably Wiki technology.

There are many sources of information on the Internet. Some have guidelines which help decide which information to add to an article. Often times the best place to find information, is the place that brings information from other places together. 

See for Yourself

Not only can you provide information of your brand on the website, you can also include visuals of your brand, promotional ads and instructional videos of your new products. It's a great way to encourage customers to "see-and-feel" the brand for themselves, heighten their awareness and develop an understanding of what your brand can do. Say you have a new product, like the latest digital camera that has the specs comparable to an SLR. You want to showcase what the camera can do before the product launch. You can include a review of this new camera with a demo video to showcase the camera's functions and types of photographs the camera can take.

Being Included

Website marketing also provides the opportunity to build online communities - a place where customers can feel belonged. Besides participating in discussions, participants of online communities also build relationships with one another. Just think about it. Online communities are like mini global villages. People from all over the world who are hooked up on the internet can come together regardless of geography, nationality or culture to take part in your brand discussion. What better way than this to build brand loyalty on a global scale.

How Can We Help?

Need help? A great way to engage your customers is providing a link to customer service. By providing a useful online helpdesk, which should be responsive and informative, reflects on how much you care about helping your customers and providing customer satisfaction. A list of FAQs, contact details and email address are a must so that customers know how to get in touch with you. One advice though, never let your customers wait for more than 24 hours to get a response. The more responsive you are, the better you can keep your customers coming back.

Visiting an online community site, led one to observe the many functions, operations, and services that are available. One can register as a member or as a guest with little information about the character of the person entering the site. Wood and Smith also agree that, “The internet allows us to determine how much of an identity we wish to display as online presentations (p. 61)”. What are so impressive about these types of sites are its chat rooms, e-messages, and discussion boards. The site also offers many links to other areas of interests. These links are avenues to the community. They are loaded with infamous information ranging from government to where to find the best of any manufacturing goods. A virtual community tends to look like a real community of a small town but not in a literal sense. The focus of this paper is only to deal with a small fragment of its virtual conception such as the composition of its activities, the function or purpose of the community, its audience, and its effectiveness of such a community. The world is getting smaller and smaller within a virtual community.

The Composition of the Activities

The composition or make-up of any online community is unique. It consists of various links which also includes sub-links. Some of these links are individually created from other entities. And, with permission, they are incorporated into the one master field. When business links are added to the system, they become networking channels for the users. It is good advertising practice. Other links serve as library of information. Not only the links must be studied but the various programs written just to get things up and running are special. Cybernetic technology is really amazing. With support, portal information, and the display of the data, gives the audience a sense of great mechanism.

An online community has multimedia use, interactive use, and hyperlinks. Each one serves as a masterpiece within the society. As a non computer expert, it leaves me with a breath of awe just to see how much information in the form of texts, images, and other stuffs that are displayed. The administrators or designers must have taken on a tremendous load of responsibility to manage a site. Perhaps, the work may have been contracted out to small computer firms in order to set up and manage portions of the site. The electronic surveillance is also a challenge. Even the communicators are part of the make-up since they are relying on the users to work the system. Since the community is just booming, there are other areas such as laws and maintaining a site that are in consideration.

Purpose or Function of the Community

The function or purpose of an online community is to tightly bond people together in a virtual world. Whether they are living close by or in other parts of the world, they are given the same opportunity to find out all the factual information or share factual information. They may request information on its government, share ideas on political matters, and have a central place to see where all the festivals or activities are scheduled. Better yet, they can talk to relatives or friends via the chat lines. It even went as far as providing discussion message board and e-mail address services just for its users by having interpersonal relations via a computer mediated communicational avenues. The purpose may be broad but knowing people on a whole especially young people, they like to party, and having such a virtual intelligence would please them. Like what the above authors said, “Using the internet should be fun (p.73)”.

The creators or administrators make sure they cover the interest in-depth with every piece of information one can find on their agendas. According to one online community of its links' messages, it is a premier source of information on all aspects of its culture. It is putting a person in touch with his or her culture. It even professes to even have goods shipped to one's door. It provides door to door services by going beyond to do shopping services for its users or registrants and have it mailed or shipped to their homes. The business of commerce is well presented. It seems as if it has made an attempt to operate like a real community where it covers business and commerce as part of a strong economy within a city.

The Type Audience It Attracts

Because of such isolation and people been busy, technology has made it possible for them to communicate with others. The cyber rat's support group has provided a way to reach these loners by creating a virtual world for them to interact and bridge them together as a unit with a common interest. Some of them are loners, while others are psychologically out of touch with their roots. Many people who have migrated have left their homeland for more than five to ten years. Some have not gotten a chance to return home but using the online community, they can stay in touch with their roots if they choose. Wood and Smith discuss the possibilities of using the online medium for therapy (p.01). With the use of an online community, it appears as if the plan is to maintain a demographic composite of population than can be achieved whether they are living abroad or not.

Another type of audience is the surfers. They are not necessary a particular group but are bystanders in a sense who happens to find the site. Most of the people who fall into this category are people who spent time on internet and just want to end up somewhere. They are encouraged to visit and perhaps become a member. Some of these top of the line hotels within a site give virtual tours. Technology has gotten so smart that one can literally sit in his or her bedroom and view several hotels before one can be committed in making reservation for a particular hotel or travel destination. Other surfers are interested in places for business opportunities and they will scour a site for that type of information. What was so surprising is when a surfer posed a question on a discussion board. He wanted to know how to obtain a visa in order to visit a particular country. An administrator responded with all the pertinent information within the same hour.

After analyzing the online site, one can also see that a hidden audience is involved. This hidden audience is the administrator(s) or netizen(s) who is constantly at work. They have made their site very attractive, and in addition, they have maintained and updated their community with new information in a timely fashion. They also police the environment so that un-welcomed behaviors do not manifest among the registrants. On the other hand, these netizens appear to be friendly as they make the citizens of such community involved with their inputs by asking them to vote in polls.

The Effectiveness of the Community

An online community is a very effective community. It utilizes its skills by building a site that accommodates just about everything. The people are exposed to all sort of knowledge. The knowledge base area is full of very important information. What makes it so effective is that a response to any idea is posted in short interval from the time the question was raised. It seems as if the system is pre-programmed with the relevant answer to a typical question. A site can be very colorful. It is saying, “Welcome, I am here for you to see”. Another way the site is effective is by having the members participating in events. It poses poll questions where one can respond. It even suggests for members to post poll questions. When a community gets a person involved, that is an excellent community. Nobody wants to be left out or ex-communicated from a society. An online community wants everyone who engaged in it to become an active participant.

The virtual support group within the system is a type of social support that meets online and encourages participant to give and receive feedback from one another. Wood and Smith say, “It is like when a family must compensate for a family death (p.17)”. In a real community, the idea is to work together as a team. Well, it is the same with an online field. People are encouraged to assist one another as team members. Such effectiveness must be applauded because it is not easy for any group of people to work and share effectively together as a team much less via a machine - the computer. Some forms of feeling and care has to be manifested during such discourse. Much can be said of its effectiveness.

Conclusion

Since the focus of this paper is only to deal with a small fragment of its virtual conception such as the composition of its online activities, function or purpose of the community, its audience, and its effectiveness of such a community, it is very important to know that a virtual community has the capabilities of a real community. Other areas are been manipulated as well. Jamaica is also making an effort to create an online community to draft Jamaicans and surfers from all over the globe. The internet has become the most powerful force with information for this cause. Wood and Smith make it clear when they state that information properly channeled can ensure that individuals will act as a unit within a framework larger than themselves (p.31). Observing and understanding of an online community has proved that the world is getting smaller and smaller within a virtual community.

MySpace effectively replaces the malls as the latest hangout place for teens. An estimated 19% of the total users are 17 years old below. That is why, parents should make it a point to understand the way this social networking site works. The internet is a good place to meet like-minded people from all walks of life. It also enables one to establish contact with people from other countries. It could be a way to build business relationships or help promote products and services. The drawbacks for networking sites though could be equally multiple. One, it could be dangerous especially if the teen meets child predators online. Another is it could be used to bully other teens. Parents then should be vigilant and exercise control on their kids' internet surfing habits.

Some people may find social networking sites as a way to fill up time or evade boredom but MySpace does serve a purpose. For one, some hiring managers used MySpace as a creative way to find prospective employees through social networking. Lisa Graham, Client Relationship Manager for FurstPerson / Sprint, admitted that she hired four personnel using the popular networking site. Since Sprint chooses tech-savvy employees, those using MySpace would most likely fall under such category. She posts information of job fairs through her MySpace site. She received numerous job inquiries in the process and was able to hire at least four candidates.

Major social networks such as Myspace, Facebook and YouTube attract millions of new unique visitors and registered members everyday, so this is where this article gives an honorable mention to those already worldwide well known “Super Mega Corporate Branded Giants leading the social networking industry”. Cool!?

It is suspected that there are millions of social network members that could potentially be reading this article for the first time and grumbling inside that their social network isn't mentioned in this article, well there is always Google. There is absolutely no way to mention every single one of the thousands of social networks existing on the web today or yesterday.

Personally, I am still waiting for my invitation, but I won't hold my breath, because I am just a lonely writer and not an ultra elite superpower processing an equally high net worth.

So, you are thinking about now, that this was a stupid article about social networks that just doesn't offer the tools or the environment that you would offer to your members. Now, you are thinking that you could have done a better job organizing and building your own social network that would just blow anyone of these social networks out of the water and you are determined to let your thoughts be known in the comments section at the bottom of this page. But, Wait! Let's just see how good and different your ideas are and then - visit Ning to actually build your very own social network for free. Build it the way that you want it to be. Grant your members the tools that you want them to have and use.

Bearing these things in mind and centering on them as our focus, we created a web-application that help people (communities) live out the above ethos, in real life, using the web as a tool for communication and collaboration. At root, TheCommon is a place where "needs meet abilities and abilities meet needs." I know, that may sound a bit vague, but it's really pretty simple... I promise.

On TheCommon.org, communities can sign up to have their needs met by their own members. Additionally, those members of that community are able to meet each others needs, with their natural abilities. And, even further, communities can share needs and abilities with other communities, to "love their neighbor" and build God's kingdom here and now. Pretty cool.

This article was inspired after following the bartering (swapping) skills of a man named Kyle MacDonald and his website “One Red Paperclip". Kyle, Swapped his self from one trade to another, until he had himself his very own house. Amazingly, he managed to swap himself to a house in only fourteen trades.

Now, I am not suggesting that anyone can do what Kyle MacDonald did, but if you never try, then you will never know. Even if your idea isn't so grand as swapping until you achieve something big, it is cheaper than buying new or bidding in an auction. You can still swap your old things for the things that you want and only be responsible for paying the cost of shipping the things you have agreed to swap with another member(s).

This list isn't a Top 10 list, but if it were, then I would suspect that this list would look pretty much the same as I have it right now. So, enjoy!
