Blog Summary

Well as the semester is coming to a close, hopefully the activity on this blog will not. I vaguely knew what a blog was when I first registered for the Information Technology in Marketing class and even though my knowledge is not that of an expert I have learned alot.

I feel that being up to date on the newest and fastest growing form of word of mouth is incremental to one's education.

Overall the blog project for the semester went well. I was a little slow at first because of the lack of understanding of what if really was about and how to execute the project successfully. After I seemed to get the swing of things I attempted, to the best of my ability, to explore the wonderful world of blogging.

Wiki Summary

The four articles that I chose to edit for this semester, I found were fairly successful edits. No other Wikipedia users decided that my content needed to be changed. With that being said, I feel that my wiki part of the project was successful by my acceptance into the wiki community. The articles that I edited were Delta Gamma, Weight Watchers, High Heeled Shoes, and Labrador Retrievers!!! Check them out!

Wiki Edit

The crossbreed of Labs and Poodles, called Laberdoodle, are many times populat because they don't shed as much as a pure bred Lab.

Wiki Edit

I added content in the intro article of High Heels about the illusion that they give to your legs!!!

Wiki Edit

When speaking about the online program that Weight Watchers has I added in a fact that I have in a pamphlet, but was not in the Wikipedia article. You loose three times more weight if you go to meetings.

Wiki Edit

Delta Gamma's philanthropy is Service for Sight, in which we help people who are visually impaired. It is considered politically incorrect to say "blind people" so I adjusted this language in the wikipedia article.
