Adventure in Aggregating Pages


i like the concept of Aggregating Pages i use SharePoint for my students at the university that is very simulacra to Aggregating Pages but it has some more powerful tools that will allow me to write code and interact with the stud nest through there office suite.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are four types of aggregation sites:
• Human edited
• Algorithmic selection
• Social bookmarking
• Automatic scraping or ingestion


Human EditedHuman-culled headline aggregation sites, such as Drudge Report and NewzJunky.com, are quite popular.


Algorithmic SelectionSome sites – most notably Google News and Techmeme attempt to mimic human decision-making through computer programming. Such algorithmic programs make computational decisions based on such factors as popularity of a site, how many external sites link to a particular story, and the popularity of the sites embedding those links.


Social BookmarkingDigg is the most popular social bookmarking site on the web. In January, Digg.com reached24 million people.


Automated AggregationComputers can be used to aggregate headlines and links through two methods: Scraping (using a robot server to crawl news web pages) and RSS ingest (grabbing a site’s RSS feed and republishing it).

Twitter Adventure Continued

Week two of experimenting with twitter and the vast amount of tools that interface with twitter i just created an Instamatic page and noticed that when i post things through stagnation it posts to my twitter page.I am not looking for Penelope and organizations to follow on my twitter page i want it to be more of a professional realm instead of just what someone is doing. i think twitter and the tools used to tweet are great but sometimes its a bit messy as to how and what information gets tweeted.



You Tube Adventure

My you tube adventure was very fun I love YouTube sometimes I catch myself on there for hours just looking at videos. I loved the aspect of making a playlist most of the time I just go back and look at my viewed videos but making a playlist helps me put everything I need in order. I have also found a lot of MIT class that are playlist and have whole lectures on YouTube under a lecturing playlist. This is awesome and I think the web 2.0 tools that I researched and showed what web 2.0 is and some software really will open others up to using them. Most of the videos I found were beginner videos but now I think I will start to make my own videos and uploading them into a playlist to help others learn. I have also added a robotics section to my YouTube playlist because that is one of the things that I teach in college is robotics and micro controllers. I also added the artificial intelligence playlist because AI is just awesome and once I get my doctorate I will research more into artificial intelligence and eventual work on some curriculum that involved artificial intelligence.

Here are my Playlists

Robotics


Artificial Intelligence


Web 2.0 tools

Twitter Adventure

Twitter Blog

The Twitter experience has been great I actually use twitter often when I want a lot of the people who follow me to know more information about something that I was doing. Twitter is an online social networking and micro blogging service that enables users to send and read short 140-character text messages, called "tweets". Registered users can read and post tweets, but unregistered users can only read them. Users access Twitter through the website interface, SMS, or mobile device app. There has been a couple of snags with the twitter service over the years but it seems to be corrected

I used the following tools when posting messages to twitter

With all of these tools I still find myself going to my computer to do a tweet it’s much faster and the tool was designed natively to work better on the web on a computer. I also did not like that I was limited to characters on twitter but this is to protect space I think and prevent users form typing a book. Although I have seen some books created based of the tweets over a year on a topic.

Vanity Search

Vanity search
After doing my vanity search I realized that my information is scattered over the place a bit and my name is very common so in my vanity search my results are mixed with others. Below are a few links that I found related to me they are based on the goggle search engine



I think most of these searches came up because I did a lot of work to get my name out there when I wrote my book to all of the major areas.as well as a press release
