i wasn't exactly sure which tidbit we were supposed to read, so i just read them both, they weren't long. the first one discussing how you can streamline the news from a website to put a feed onto your site in a much more specific manner. for example, if Elle magazine wanted news stories specifically just on fashion week in NYC to put a feed on their website, they could do just that. it's a great thing. (even though this particular feed just has to do with environment news, i was making an example).
it just goes to prove that news via the internet is growing faster than ever. and that we should all take note of its potential to become greater.
the second tidbit was very short, yet made its point. blogs can be powerful, well really any information on the internet can be powerful. but when you're boss is "Googling" you online, to find out about your background, well stuff could could come back to haunt you. like in this article, how a friend made fun of another friend in his blog. so everytime his name was Googled, that blog showed up.
it can happen to anyone. remember that myspace you made when you were 16? now you're 24 and looking for a job. your potential bosses can find that site you made with the pictures of you're tattoos or you funneling a beer. it could really harm the chance of you getting that job.
so it just goes to show you have to be careful what goes on the internet. because once its on there, almost anyone can look at it. lucky for me, if you google my name, thousands of other Holly Smith's preceed me in the search...good luck finding me out of over 4 million results.
