Search words- r’n’b music artists

1090 hits, most were music groups, it was amazing how many people have these groups.

These are all the people in the

Rainbow Styles - Alt. Music, Mariah Carey group

These bulletins are very recent, so these members in this group must log on and contribute every day. I do not understand why someone would spend so much time doing this. As these groups may inform you will not always know if it is a fact, because most of the time it will probably be an opinion.

This group is only being a gossip site, talking about celebrities. They are trying to convince each other with their personal knowledge as well learn more about these celebrities. I would not be interested in joining this group.

Each podcast sounds professional and informative. You cannot believe all of these podcasts anyone can upload a podcast.

Advantages

- I have a friend doing a Bachelor of Teaching and she has lectures available over podcast. This is a very good idea because if she has missed the lecture or is running late she can still be informed on what is happening in the lecture.

- You can listen while sitting on a bus, train or even driving. You are learning and being informed by listening.

Weekly Readings

‘Guide to using email’

I looked over this document, but i already new all about email accounts, so i did not summarise.

‘The problem with SPAM’

This is about SPAM which can be defined as the Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE). It costs the sender nothing; this is why it is so attractive to businesses or perpetrators. You can transmit millions of messages for nothing and there is no limit to the amount of UBE being transmitted. This can create enormous problems for the processing and storage requirements of the internet service providers (ISP), as well as wasting peoples time deleting all the spam. UBE is very different from junk mail because it doesn’t cost the sender anything, but they can make a profit if only one person responds. UPC also costs the receiver money by have to download the data; this will make a difference in your ISP bill at the end of the month. The UBE provider can also make money from you by selling your email address to companies.

Another week comes to an end, but don’t get upset their will be one next week.
