Robitaille, Suzanne. "New Telecom Connections for the Deaf." Businessweek.com, 9 Oct. 2002. Web. 16 Feb. 2010.
This article, although from 2002, still holds key information about the web helping those with disabilities to stay connected. In this article, Robitaille talks about how deaf people are using the web more proficiently to stay connected with others, not only with email or text based documents, but also with telephones. This article is important because it shows that the web is not limited to just one group of people. It is transforming and adapting to the many different people who use the web daily. The web is becoming more and more flexible with the kinds of people who use it--it is constantly evolving. This is useful for my project because it shows the different ways different people use the web to stay connected. The web can be used for people of different backgrounds, whether they can hear or not.
Payton, Susan. "7 Ways to Promote Your Offline Event Using Social Media." Mashable.com, 10 Feb. 2010. Web. 16 Feb. 2010.
This article gives people who have upcoming events, ways to promote them using various social media sites. It talks about the various ways you can use sites such as Twitter or Facebook, or even blogs. This article is important because people are using the web more and more each day to promote their events. It's faster than inviting people through snail mail or even by phone. This relates to my project because it's another way people stay connected through the web. Instead of getting an invitation through the post office, we are now getting invitations to events through the web.
Parr, Ben. "Google Goes Social with Google Buzz." Mashable.com, 10 Feb. 2010. Web. 16 Feb. 2010.
This article talks about the new Google Buzz, which is much like Facebook and Twitter, combined with email, blogger.com, youtube.com, and everything that Google allows you to do already. This is important because it shows how the web is adapting to our culture and the various ways we use the web. Instead of Google just being a search engine or used for email, it now can be used just like Twitter and Facebook. Everything a person uses on a daily basis, is now not on ten different websites, but one. This is important to my project because it shows how the web and different sites are adapting to our culture and the ways we use the web. Because people are using sites like Facebook and Twitter more and more every day, Google needs to step up their game if they want to stay on top.

I like how you summarized your articles. Google Buzz is a hot topic right now.
ReplyDeleteHey Freddie, I like how all of your citations have to do with how people can stay connected in different ways, I've never heard of Google Buzz before, thats pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteI agree, you did a good job of summarizing the article and then pointing out how it was important to your topic. And on a side note- Google Buzz is a hot topic- I am actually trying to figure it out =)
ReplyDeleteThese all seem like good resources for your topic. I think the only thing that you might want to change for your final annotated bibliography is to also mention how these articles may NOT have all the information you need, and why.
ReplyDeleteYour topic will probably have many articles and much information will be available, it will be interesting to learn about. I really like your source about the deaf woman who was able to have an entire conference by using the third person available in some cell phone carriers who read the text written by the dead customer. Your summarizations are specific and pertain to your topic, if you continue to find another 6 good sources you will be good to go.
