In the Web 2.0 Summit held last year in San Francisco, it was concluded that Web 2.0 has reached its maturity stage, and is now a mainstream phenomenon. However, the potential and its benefits have yet to be fully understood by media organizations in the Asia region. At the same time, the early adopters of technology are talking seriously about new trends such as Web 3.0 and its potential impact in the field of journalism. How will this disrupt the field of journalism has yet to be fully understood.

Skype or Userplane: Catching You When You Fall
Tuesday, 15 April 2008


by Rachel Chan


The good about video conferencing using applications like Skype and Userplane is that it enables you to perform live interviews which does not allow behind the scenes editing of footage. In cases whereby politicians want to wipe off something potentially detrimental to their public image, eg. George Bush Jr's gaffes, this form of journalistic broadcasting can come in handy.

Social Interactions on LiveJournal: Fandom Interactivity
Tuesday, 15 April 2008
 
by Rachel Chan Suet Kay

It is given that on the internet, interactions between people previously unknown to each other in the physical world are de-personalised due to the inability of ensuring a face to face meeting at every point of interaction. Also due to the proliferation of identity creation through the mass availability of representative symbols, the image and the reality of the social actor may greatly vary from one another.

Coppermine or Gallery? Image Hosting Application For Wordpress
Tuesday, 15 April 2008
 
by Rachel Chan
 
 
Wordpress supports two types of photo galleries. These two are rather popular image hosting applications, namely Coppermine and Gallery. There are not many clear-cut differences between the two, the differences are mainly confined to usability and the preferences of the user. For example, these are customisation options, such as whether the customisation functions all appear in one single page, or whether they are provided on a step by step basis.

Wordpress vs. Blogger: Which is More Effective?
Monday, 14 April 2008
 
by Rachel Chan
 
ImageTwo very common blog hosting services are Blogger and Wordpress. In Malaysia especially Blogger, or also known as Blogspot, is a particularly popular service. It is easy to master and use. It has user-friendly options and allows for a newbie to instantly publish. In this way it motivates one who is afraid of technology to blog because it is less intimidating. My first experience with Wordpress, however, somewhat turned my brain to jelly as I found it nearly impossible to master as I was used to using Blogger.
