9. REFLECTIONS ABOUT NEW YORK TIMES NEWS THAT I READ IN THE THIRD WEEK AND PICTURES OF ACTIVITIES (March 19-30, 2007)
10. ARTICLE: MySpace Restrictions Upset Some Users Published: March 20, 2007 By BRAD STONE “ The reason why I am so bummed out about MySpace now is because recently they have been cutting down our freedom and taking away our rights slowly,” wrote Tila Tequila after MySpace founder, Tom Anderson eliminated the Hoooka program of her space. Ms. Tequila, has attracted attention by linking to more than 1.7 million friends on her MySpace page. To promote her first album, she recently added to her MySpace page a new music player and music store, called the Hoooka. According to the Tom Anderson, this is not acceptable according to the terms and conditions it was agreed. In my opinion, Myspace is for personal use, to communicate with ours friends, and not to obtain professional benefit in the extreme how put a Link where the people (her “friends”) can buy her CD directly. In the other hand, is necessary to have much care with these sites in the Internet in where the people expose their personal information and photos. I recommend that if has one, make it private, that only their friends can see the space (personal information and pictures) complete. Also, I recommend that they do not accept people who do not know, in this manner they will be able to enjoy tranquility his space and will be able to share the photos and the blog with its friendships.
11. ARTICLE: Borders to Close Many Stores and Start a Retail Web Site PUBLISHED: March 23, 2007 By JULIE BOSMAN This news surprises to me, because I don’t listened it in the local news, either in the puertoricans newspapers. For me, Borders was a company with much success in the sales. When I need a book goes to Borders at Plaza and the store always is full of people reading, drink a coffee, etc… I don’t imagine the sales in Borders are decreased. I had the opportunity to visit borders at Carolina and also, went a lot of people. But, the company announced a good news: is a new strategic plan, Borders will open its own retail Web site in early 2008. This is a great idea. Borders will give a new jump and it will open a virtual store in the Internet. This is positive for one side, but on the other hand the company already has closed several stores and are going to close on 250 stores. This people who do not have Internet or credit card are not going to be able to make their purchases, unless they have the luck to have a Borders store near that continues giving its services.
20. This article is very important because is about one company who’s like to made a code of conduct that have to follow when we goes to create a blog. I think this is necessary in this time, because today everyone have a blog or personal web page and publish anything. Sometimes publish explicit pictures and material with sexual content and this is not good with the web, because the kids have right to enjoy and learn in the inernet, sure with the parents or adults supervision. The personal pages and bloggs need a secure to control the access to the children. Also, need a codes of conduct to creat it. For example, MySpace.com have a instructions when we goes to create a space, say us that can’t publish pornography, or publicity material. Today, this world only think in sex, I can think that the internet is based on it. For me, the internet is a resource that help us to search valuable information, is to enjoy in the funny pages, is to communicate with our parents whos lives so far. The world have to think much better that have to appreciate the resources that all have, have internet is a opportunity that not all people have and many people need to continue go on.
