Home Address? NO! Try Internet Address (:

Home Address' all consist of numbers and the street name. While a Internet Address consists of a URL, and URL's are broken into three things;

1. The "Http" also known as the Protocol
2. The server name eg; www.howstuffworks.com
3. The file name eg; "web-server.htm"

The browser translates the server name into an IP address, and the IP address is basically a group of numbers that form your Internets unique signal.The four numbers in an IP address are called octets because they can have values between 0 and 255

My schools website is http://www.mcauley.nsw.edu.au, our domain name is McAuley Net, and to access our website we have to go through a protocol of entering user names and passwords to access our work, etc.

CAN YOU DETERMINE YOUR IP ADDRESS?

My IP address is; 202.76.178.178
­­

The four numbers in an IP address are called octets, because they each have eight positions when viewed in binary form.

Class A - This class is for very large networks, such as a major international company might have. IP addresses with a first octet from 1 to 126 are part of this class. The other three octets are used to identify each host. This means that there are 126 Class A networks each with 16,777,214 (224 -2) possible hosts for a total of 2,147,483,648 (231) unique IP addresses. Class A networks account for half of the total available IP addresses. In Class A networks, the high order bit value (the very first binary number) in the first octet is always 0.

IP, a thing not thought about much, but constantly in use. So if this "language" confuses be sure to research more on IP address' cause they are an important thing.

Tim, O RLY??

Tim O'Reilly

In an early blog involving Web 2.0 i disgusts the views of a man named "Tim" but until now i never really knew who he was, so i took my time and researched him and found....Tim is the CEO of his own little company called O'Reilly Media. Tim spends his time publishing computer novels and is thought to be one of the best in that field. Thou Tim also spends his time hosting information forums in which he also held the intervention on the new Web 2.0 (which is discussed in a earlier blog), in which these inventions the "alpha geeks" determine the new trends in technology and higher intelligence. Tim's long-term vision for his company is to change the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators. To find out more about Tim go to his website tim.oreilly.com.

"You can thank Tim O’Reilly for all those classy computer-nerd books with line-art camels and gnus on the cover. But O’Reilly is more than a publisher. He’s also a vocal member of the net community and one of the ardent supporters of the open source movement. "

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!

Have you ever wondered what the internet was like when it first started off, well with website;

http://www.archive.org/web/web.php

You can search a website and go back to when it first made, or even just a month ago when a small update was made. I went on and typed in youtube and blogger and these are the websites when they first started off.

WEB 2.0 !!!!!!!!!!

DEFINITION!

• 'Tim says the phrase "Web 2.0" first arose in "a brainstorming session between O'Reilly and Medialive International." It was a kind of semantic deficit spending: they knew new things were coming, and the "2.0" referred to whatever those might turn out to be.'


• 'The story about "Web 2.0" meaning the web as a platform didn't live much past the first conference. By the second conference, what "Web 2.0" seemed to mean was something about democracy.'


• Web 1.0 was the base, on which Web 2.0 was to develope. Functions such as;

DoubleClick-->Google AdSense
Ofoto-->Flickr
Akamai-->BitTorrent
mp3.com-->Napster
Britannica Online-->Wikipedia
personal websites-->blogging
evite-->upcoming.org and EVDB
domain name speculation-->search engine optimization
page views-->cost per click
screen scraping-->web services
publishing-->participation
content management systems-->wikis
directories (taxonomy)-->tagging ("folksonomy")
stickiness-->syndication

Were all to change from one to the other as the web was developed. So Web 2.0 wasn't exactly a new creation it was more of an improvement to what is already known as The Internet.

USAGE!

• Web 2.0 personals are being employed within the public area, giving more use to the term Government 2.0. For example, Web 2.0 websites such as Twitter, YouTube and Facebook have helped in providing a possible way for citizens to connect with higher government officials, which was otherwise nearly impossible.


• Universities are using Web 2.0 in order to reach out and connect with Generation Y.Examples of this are: social networking websites – YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, Youmeo, Twitter and Flickr and virtual learning environments such as Moodle enable prospective students to log on and ask questions.


• Web 2.0 initiatives have been employed in public diplomacy for the Israeli government. The country is believed to be the first to have its own official blog ,MySpace page,YouTube channel, Facebook page and a political blog.


• Social Work 2.0 represents the use of interactive web technologies in the delivery of social services. Social workers use web 2.0 technologies for clinical practice, community organizing and administrative and policy functions. Social workers use chat programs to provide online therapy, or e-therapy. Web 2.0 technologies also allow for self-directed treatment through web-based modules. The use of Web-based technologies is not without its problems for social work. Social workers are state regulated, leading to concerns about providing services over the Internet to people in different states. Thou current licensee laws do not apply to services provided outside of the licensing state.

THE PEOPLES OPINION! (DEMOCRACY)

• In a podcast interview, Tim Berners-Lee described the term "Web 2.0" as a piece of jargon: "Nobody really knows what it means...If Web 2.0 for you is blogs and wikis, then that is people to people. But that was what the Web was supposed to be all along." In this quote Tim is saying that Web 2.0 isn't better, its still the same to people, with just a different name. This was intended to inflict an idea to the public that Web 2.0 is a waste of time and money as its identical to the programs their already using.
• Thou wikipedia is not a reliable source it does state some criticism on Web 2.0; According to wikipedia many people are concerned that Web 2.0 does not represent a new version of the World Wide Web at all, but merely continues to use so-called "Web 1.0" technologies and concepts. This idea could be remotely true as many of the ideas that Web 2.0 consists of had already been featured on the network systems well before the term "Web 2.0" emerged.
• Other criticism has included the term “a second bubble” (referring to the Dot-com bubble of circa 1995–2001), suggesting that too many Web 2.0 companies attempt to develop the same product with a lack of business models. This is because the company's are thinking of new programs,etc but they haven't an idea on how to develop them. Also these idea's seems to be so general that all the other company's are attempting to create them as well, and still calling them 'original'. So with this lack of process many of Web 1.0 programs are being included in the Web 2.0 criteria as there aren't as many features in Web 2.0.
