Hello wikipedia editors,
Over the course of the semester I made 3 edits to the following wikipedia pages: Newton, Ma, Newton North High School, Dodge and Grupo Modelo. I will go over each of the blogs and say what has happened since I began editing them. In all the pages, there was changes made that effect grammar, content, and pictures. The majority of my edits were actually not changed. I did make one experiment where I made my own page on wikipedia. I copy pasted the html from another person's page and created my own content. The page was down, the next time I checked.
Newton, Ma: In this blog there has been about 75 edits since I began editing the page. I believe that two of the three edits that I made are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days. Gaps of about a week can be found in between edits at times.
Newton North High School: In this blog there has been about 100 edits since I began editing the page. I believe that three of the three edits that I made are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days, they are also made in bunches, With some gaps of week or so in between.
Grupo Modelo: In this blog there has been just under one hundred edits since I began editing the page. I believe that all of edits are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days.
Dodge: In this blog there has been about 60 edits since I began editing the page. I believe that three of the three edits that I made are still standing. Edits to this page are made about once per every one to three days, similar to Newton North High School, they are also made in bunches. Some times there is a gap of week in between.
At first the edits were a drag, but it is pretty cool that most of my edits are still there. All in all it was a worth while project. I also didnt know if any one else saw the article were one of the co-founders said that the web site was a diaster and it was not how he intended it to turn out? I can not find it any more but it is interesting if any wants to try to look for it.

Modern Media
Hello,
This blog is pertaining to the Media changes. The class discussion and powerpoints talk about how there is now fragmentation, integration, time shifting and mobile media. I would go and say that I agree with all of these expect mobile media. I believe that the mobile media will grow more from what it is today while telephone makers make the screens and interface easier for users to use it. But I think that there is a limit to the growth. Hand held devices will never equal the computer. I believe it may be come a good supplement for the computer, but will never be used in the same way. That is all for me.
Until the next insight.....

Benefits of HTML coding
Hello,
I am going to be talking about benefits of learning at least the basics of HTML coding. I think this is something that should be taught more vigourously in school for every major. We all should be required to take an entire class where we build our own web site. It should be done much like this class has been run except for instead of creating your own blog you create your own web site. Personally it is one area that I have truly missed. I need to use my basic knowledge of coding and tried to at least have something there for people to view. Thank you to classes like this one, I just wish it went a little further.

Dodge edit # 3
Dodge lovers here it is again,
I have made my third and final edit to the Dodge Wikipedia page. I once again made the edit to the History section of the page. In this edit I added a two sentences that talked about Dodge's first year in business. The added entry was written like this, "In that first year, Dodge introduced the "Old Betsy," a rugged car built for reliability and durability. That year Dodge built a total of 249 new cars."
Stay tuned for a wrap up blog.....

Dodge edit # 2
hello dodge lovers,
I made my third edit to the Dodge page of wikipedia in the History section. In this edit I added the where the Dodge brothers were located prior to moving to Detroit Michigan. I added the phrase, "from Windsor, Ontario, Canada where they were making intricate auto parts." That is all but the next edit is just around the corner, so beware.

Comment on Ryan Dzielak Steve Nash edit
Hello basketball fans,
I am responding to Ryan Dzielak blog regarding Steve Nash's 2006-7 season. Ryan mentions that Dirk Nowtiski received the MVP award. Although he was the best player on the best team, I believe Dirk did not deserve the award. Canadian born, Steve Nash was the real MVP. He was the most valuable player, without him the Pheonix Suns would not be where they are. If you take any other star player off the team, the team would not falter as much. That is my piece, but who am I, a lonely blogger.
Until the next blog... stiuqxela

Edit number 3!!! to Grupo Modelo
Hello all readers,
As promised I have made my third and final edit to the Grupo Modelo wikipedia page. I
made the change to The Lime section of the page. I added the sentence, "Coronas heavy media presence in the United States may be the reason for the disparity in the two beer cultures." I felt that I had an insight to why the phenomenon was happening.
Peace, Love and Beer.... stuiqxela

Edit number 2 for Grupo Modelo
To all a hello,
I have made the second edit to Grupo Modelo. This time I have made a edit to the Corona section of the wikipedia page. I added a part of a sentence that said, "In 1926 the brewery decided to bottle the beer in quarter bottles and decided to go with clear instead of dark bottles." I thought this was an interesting fact and decided to add it.
Until the next edit in about 15 minutes from now..... stuiqxela

Comments on Laura Kerigs blog about google
Hello,
In Laura Kerig's Blog, "Google: How far is too far" she asks the question of whether or not Google is going to far with the about of information they collect on it's users. In particular she talks about the tracking of peoples search preferences. I think this is a big issue and I am glad that she addressed it. I believe that Google has no bad intentions when collecting data about their users. They are probably actually doing it as a means to make their website the most useful it can be, in order to generate loyalty and greater page hits. So I do not fault the company, I do however believe that some of these services are getting extremely instrusive. I believe that if they are doing things such as Google is, it should be clear to the user what is happening. If the user agrees, then it is fine, if not, then the service should stop.
Until later... stuiqxela

Newton North Wikipedia Edit
Hello,
I have made a new update to the Newton North High School on the wikipedia web site. I made a small change to the Notable Alumni section of page. I corrected the grammatical area of not capitalizing the word "most" after a period. I changed it to "He most" thus correcting the error. Keeping checking in for more thrilling updates such as this one.

Starting your own business
Hello all,
It's me again and I am back to rant about starting your own business. This topic has come to me since we have had so many speakers come into our class and talk to us about their companies. When the guy from hostmysite came into to speak, I was not listening the actual components of what his company does or what it did or the fact that customer service was how they made their name, I was listening to what steps one has to take in order to start a business. I know when you take classes in the business school they teach you to make a business plan and start from their but I think we should be learning more; like how to incorporate, or how to name a company, or how to raise capital for the endeavour. Why is their no classes that I am aware of at this school that teach you these things? I think that everyone in the business school should all be required to take an entrepreneurial course.
Until next time.... stiuqxela

Second Life?
Hello All,
Sorry for the long break in blogs, but I am back and better than ever. In reading the article that included talk about Second Life I was fascinated by a couple of things. Number one, it is amazing how much traction this website already has. They already have five million registered users, half of which are women, which is pretty incredible. Number two, when I got to thinking about Second Life, I was dumbfounded as to how this many people can get into this Internet life. We should all be concentrating on our first lives before we can just give up and live on the computer. It is great what technology has done for many of the things life but I feel the problem is before long none of us will actually be living our lives, we will have computers to live it for us. That's my rant!
Stay tuned.... stiuqxela
