Defining Terminology 'Internet'

What is the internet?

Well,  according to an online dictionary... 

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/internet?s=t

"a vast computer network linking smaller computer networks worldwide (usually preceded by the). The Internet includes commercial, educational, governmental, and other networks, all of which use the same set of communications protocols."

On the other hand, Wikipedia sais...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet

"The Internet (or internet) is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet protocol suite (often called TCP/IP, although not all applications use TCP) to serve billions of users worldwide."

What I think about the internet...

haha, its me...

The Internet is an access tool to the World Wide Web, a huge 'web' of websites and networks. It is a tool, that allows us to access all this information and data, to access the things we need to know.

Communication Tech

I think that communication technology makes the world "smaller" because it connects people much much easier. Sam, in my group thinks that communication technology has improved the lives of many people buy linking them together in a circle of fast communication. 

Noah, thinks that communication has made the 'distance' between people shorter, as in it is much easier to communicate faster. 

Back in the day, people had to use letters to communicate and this would usually take a really long time. It was possible to make this quicker by sending messengers but this is still a lengthy process.

Communication nowadays, people can message others over the internet instantly, or on the phone in a 'real time' conversation. I think this has helped move the world forward a lot since it doesn't take ages just to get a message to someone. Also it helped the make the world smaller because people can now communicate instantly even if one is in China and the other in Brazil.

Televisions are the earliest version of of the laptops we use today. Also the first phones are some of the first forms of transmitting data through cables.

Authorship?

I think the difference between authorship on the web and authorship of a book is that authorship on the web can put more of a global image of you, whereas if your the author of a book you have to be found. Authorship on the web is sort of anonymous because when someone reads a blog they arn't going to try and find out the author of that blog. In a book on the other hand the author is something that is noticed right away.

Blog Etiquette

Treat the blogger like any other reviewer. You can pitch your book and offer them a review copy, but don’t nag, stalk, or harass them. Just because they request a review copy does not guarantee they will review the book. It’s perfectly acceptable to follow up to ensure the book arrived safely (and with the reliability of the postal service, I highly recommend that), but if they confirm receiving the book, leave it at that.

Don’t just pitch, read! In the months after you sell your book, I recommend becoming a regular reader and commenter at a variety of book blogs. This will give you a sense of what books the blogger enjoys and commenting with expand your name recognition.

Email, don’t comment, on your review. My thoughts on this have changed (as I mentioned in a previous post), but when the blogger reviews your book positively, resist the urge to comment with a thank you. They may feel like it’s stalking or that they’re audience won’t speak freely if they know they author is reading. I would, however, recommend emailing them a thank you note. Everyone likes a thank you note.

To share or not to share? Bloggers do love it when you tweet or post the review to Facebook. It helps increase traffic to their sites and expands their name recognition. But if the blog reviews are pouring in (and hopefully they will!), I would recommend being selective of which ones you post to your social media pages. If the blogger offers a long form review with a great pull quote, share it. If it’s just summary with 1 line of commentary, skip it.
