My Topic Proposal

My topic is pretty broad right now but the more I research it, the narrower it will get. I’m going to research the privacy risks of social networking sites. Social networking sites have become the preferred method for social interactions. These sites are relatively easy to access and posted content can be reviewed by anyone with an interest in the users' personal information. Facebook also started a new program which sends messages to users’ friends about what they are buying on Web sites like Travelocity.com,TheKnot.com and Fandango, I have mixed feeling about the issue and would like to learn more. I would have to describe the background, accessibility, privacy policies of facebook and myspace. I have a myspace, so I understand how it works. On the other hand, I never created a facebook account so I know very little about it. It seems like my topic is going to be a lot of work, but I am up for it.

If anyone has any comments you would like to share or any insightful information… please leave a comment!

Reflection on Hypertext

I think the hypertext essay was quite interesting. I thought it was cool that we got to make it on dreamweaver. I never used that program before. I actually would have liked to spend more time on it. It was quite rushed, and i defiantly could have made it better. For the most part, I wanted to make my hypertext look clean, authoritive, and professional. I would have liked to learn how to put pictures, and change the layout more. I tryed to put a picture of social networking in the backround, but it failed to show up so my essay looks bland and not too professional. I had some problems linking my essay to my purdue space. It would have been nice if i had dreamweaver at home so i could have worked on it more. Overall, i thought it was a good assignment.
