Welcome to my new blog. I deleted my old one because all of the information was out of date. This blog will try to take you through day to day uses of the Internet for your personal and business use.
This week I spent my usual amount of time on my favorite websites: http://www.facebook.com/ http://www.drudgereport.com/, http://www.rivertowns.net/, http://www.ebay.com/, http://www.wellsfargo.com/, http://www.searchenginewatch.com/, http://www.coburnsdelivers.com/, http://www.youtube.com/ and I could go on and on. The most unusual thing that I did on the Internet this week was to develop a Facebook Fan page. This is different from a regular Facebook profile page. Facebook fan pages are for businesses and allow you to custom program your pages. Please take a peek and become a fan here. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Blogger etc.. are community websites that are part of what is collectively known as web 2.0 soon to be web 3.0. Easy to use programming interfaces that allow even a half way intelligent 8 year old to do advance tasks on the Internet such as posting photos, creating and joining discussion groups, posting multimedia, configuring design, etc.... Johnnie, my 12 year old son, has a pretty nice Facebook site and is proficient at using MSN messenger and developing applications on ROBLOX. Keri and Kristen, my teen daughters are active daily on Facebook. Kristen just landed a social media marketing insternship at St. Thomas University. I mention this because I intend to include them in my blogs from time to time as their Internet activity is the window to the future. (please note: I do not recommend letting any child go unsupervised on the Internet. Computers should always be in common areas of the home, usernames and passwords must be known to the parents for all sites and services and children should know that they have no privacy when it comes to the Internet.)
To wrap up now, this blog will hopefully keep you interested in the Internet without being too overwhelmed or bored. Hopefully you will come back and visit from time to time which is the whole purpose of blogs: driving traffic to your website. Feel free to email me with topic suggestions or comments.
