Blog and Personal webpage are usually personal purpose. The owner of the blog and webpage post the writing, which are opinions, daily life, news article and humor. Also they post pictures of their own or embed the video and music from streaming sites.
Personal webpage and blog has many similarities. The comparison I already did before (Wiki vs Blog), it could be Blog, Personal Webpage vs Wiki. However, there are some differences between Blog and Personal Webpage.
Contrast
- Blog is usually free to use. On the other hand, the personal webpage, the owner has to pay for webhosting fee (which rent database, Web Server space)
- Personal webpage is free to express yourself. You can customize whatever you want to.
Blog usually provide several templates, therefore it is limited to customize the page.
- People or friends are easy to find the blog easier than personal webpage.
If the person wants to visit personal webpage, the person should know exact URL.
- Blog is easy to customize the page. The owner of the blog can modify or create the menu or page by couple of clicks. On the other hand, it is necessary to know any web programming languages, which are HTML, Java Script, ASP, PHP or JSP, to modify page and it will be more complicated and need more time to do it.
- Blog is much easy to manage the whole sites.
- The owner of the personal webpage should know how to do the Computer Design.
- The owner of blog easy to exchange the opinion with other people. When the owner post the article on the blog, sometime the person, the stranger, leave the comment on the article and have a discussion on the subject. On the other hand, In the case of Personal webpage only the owner of the personal webpage usually visits the site.
It is depend on how the person wants to express himself/herself on the cyber space. From my experience, I prefer to have the personal webpage because I can modify the page whatever I want. I can manage my database. I can change the design freely. However, sometime I miss my old blog since it was much easier to manage the sites.

Checking Out Some Social Networking Sites
These Facebook, Myspace and Friendster are the social networking sites.
Also I would like to introduce the Korean Social Networking Sites which are Cyworld and Iloveschool.
Basically, these five sites provide user blog or homepage, which is easily customized. Also these sites make people easy to find their friends or school mate by providing name, email or date of birth, so that people are able to make a cyber community or connection with friends or people.
In the blog or homepage, people can publish their post, video clips and images (albums).
Compare
- These sites have function to invite friend who already know each other.
In order to invite friend, the invitor should know some of information of friends
- Facebook, Frinedster and Iloveschool have a function of inviting not only their friends but also school friends. These sites are provided to friends search based on which school people graduate from.
- With these sites, people are able to exchange
Contrast
- The business model of the US sites and Korean sites are different.
US sites are posted the ad banner or streaming ad into the page.
Korean sites are charged usage of digital contents from user
Digital contents are font, background images and Background Music
If the users want to put BGM into their blog or homepage, people have to pay for the contents.
- Friendster provides the cyber community which people able to get together with same interest. (Ex, fan of musical artist, hobbies)
While I had made the account of these sites, I thought it will be easy to make an account anonymously. When I registered, I only provided some basic information, name, email and date of birth. Since these sites are provided the people search function, it could be used for cyber stocking. To avoid these social cyber issues and to protect the privacy, the function confirms person’s identity will be needed in the future.
In addition, Korean sites are used to verify the identity by asking people put the “resident registration number”, which is similar with Social Security Number, so that the sites are able to track person when the person commit cyber crime.

Social Networking and Virtual Worlds
What are some ways (corporate and otherwise) that these technologies can be used?
Social Network and Virtual World allow business new ways to reach customers. Since the usage of the social network has been growing, the people in the business field recognized that the social network is the important method to reach to the customer. Usually, most of the social network and virtual world sites are free or few cost to use. Therefore business people do not need to spend much budget to advertise their product, research the market trend and market reaction of the product. These sites become important method to do marketing activities. Also people use these sites for commerce.
Nowadays most of the business does their business globally. The virtual world could be used for collaborating, exchanging information and having a meeting from people the all over the world, branches.
What are the benefits of these technologies to society? Be specific.
The social network and Virtual world has many benefits to society. People can make a friend from all over the world. They can exchange the information over the web environment. For example, the person, who just enters the university, could make friends even before he/she attend to the class. The person could get and exchange the information of the college by their Facebook or Myspace. They are able to make a cyber community.
Is there a "dark side"?
The problem of the Social Network and Virtual World are Lack of Anonymity, Scams and Harassment, Time Consuming. When people want to join to these sites, they have to provide personal information which people do not want. It is hard to secure the personal and business context. These sites are tried to protect people and business from cases of harassment, cyber-stalking, online scams and identity thief. However, nobody knows how the information has been used.
Make sure to include your opinion of the way these technologies might evolve in the future.

Compare and contrast blogs and wikis
Compare
-. A frequent, chronological publication
-. Collection of webpages
-. Easy to publish webpage(no need to know web programming)
-. Contents are combined text, images, and links
-. Since both blog and wiki are easy to publish by anyone, the information could not be accuracy.(However, wiki can be modified by many people, it could be more accuracy than blog)
Comtrast

Comment on the importance of convergence in today's networked world
Based on the internet technology, people, from all over the world, are able to communicate. Also people are able to access to the webpage, blog and wiki, to collect and exchange the information. It is possible because of the today's convergent network. Before the internet era, the network had been limited for local usage(Intranet). Since intranet is limited in the local network, the communication over the network had been limited to the local people. However, with innovation of internet, people can share, communicate with people from all over the world. The information could be delivered to all over the world immediately.
Internet is huge and wide, but it is single network. People can use variety method to communicate with video, audio and text in single network environment. Also people can do the videoconference, online gaming and ecommerce. The unified communication platform offers convenience and flexibility which was not able to deal with several infrastructures.
How can blogs be used for collaboration?
1. Share the opinion.
People are able to exchange the opinion on a post topic by leaving comments. When the blog owner leave his/her opinion on the blog. Visitors are able to leave their opinion on the topic and share the opinion.
2. Shedule check.
When the blog owner leave the schedule for the project and person in charge. The person in charge can leave the comment how they do on their duty. Therefore the blog owner and other people can check how the project is going.
Can you think of a new use for a wiki that has not been done yet?
The wiki is usually used for collaborate/community website, which can be updated anyone.
- The preservation of public peace
Not all the crime has been reported to the police. Small and middle class crime could remain in the shade. The community/neighborhood can share the information which area is not safty and person who is violent. People can share the information of the neighborhood and it will keep society safe. Even though the person visits the area first time, the person can collect the information of the area before visit.
