New Internet Generation Class 2 Blogs

The information given below will be all about the usage of blogs in the internet of today. The second lecture of the course New Internet Generation was probably the most interesting. The reason why I put a blog about a lecture given weeks ago is the fact that the this blog was cited at another blog, but now re written to post on my blog about the class New Internet Generation at the UPV. This particular lecture is all about blogs. A blog is type of website or part of a website. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Blogs are used to broadcast ideas, advices or vision of a certain individual. A blogosphere is a blog network which allows multiple conversations. The basic architecture of a blog contains the usage of the programs of HTML, URL, HTTP and WWW.

By using a network the internet can follow two different networks; random network vs. scale free network. A random network is connection from and too many other different networks. A scale free network is only connected with a single network instead of this broad range of networks.

When using a blog you have to keep in mind that the latest blog you post will be appear on top of the websites. Blogs use a temporal reverse ordering (last first). When starting a blog you have to keep in mind that your audience is chosen carefully. Secondly you need to choose your topic. Thirdly interact with your audience. Finally create links by reading other blogs.

At the end of the lecture there was spoken about aggregators and planets, which allow information about a same theme. The mayor topic on the end of the lecture and in my opinion one of the more interesting topics of the lecture was micro blogging. Micro blogging is an activity which can be applied on certain activities like twitter which is short line blogging with the length of a SMS. Micro blogging has like normal blogging a fan concept with followers.
