40 maps that explain the internet. The internet increasingly pervades our lives, delivering information to us no matter where we are. It takes a complex system of cables, servers, towers, and other infrastructure, developed over decades, to allow us to stay in touch with our friends and family so effortlessly. Here are 40 maps that will help you better understand the internet — where it came from, how it works, and how it's used by people around the world. How the internet was created Before the internet, there was the ARPANET Before the internet, there was the ARPANETARPANET, the precursor to the modern internet, was an academic research project funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, a branch of the military known for funding ambitious research projects without immediate commercial or military applications.

Siden slutten av 2013 har en gruppe forskere ved Stanford-universitetet i Silicon Valley samlet inn telefoniopplysninger fra frivillige testdeltakere. Forskernes mål har vært å finne ut om enkelte metadata – «data om data» av samme slag som EUs datalagringsdirektiv vil omfatte når det innføres i Norge – kan utgjøre sensitiv informasjon. Nå er svaret klart. Bare ved å sjekke hvilke telefonnumre som var kontaktet, ved hjelp av åpne søkemotorer, klarte forskerne å slutte seg til telefonbrukernes medisinske tilstander, politiske sympatier, religiøse overbevisninger, og enda mye mer.

Vi har snakket med det norske Datatilsynet om resultatene, og de er ikke overrasket. Verre enn forskerne trodde Metoden de amerikanske forskerne brukte var enkel nok: Frivillige deltakere puttet en app på telefonene sine som sendte inn metadata til universitetet. . – Deltakere hadde ringt til Anonyme Alkoholikere, til våpenbutikker og fagforeninger. En reaksjon på Snowden-avsløringene Kan fortelle mer enn innhold. Tallene du skal ta med en klype salt. I formiddag offentliggjorde MBL avisenes lesertall. Det burde aldri ha funnet sted.

Tallene gir nemlig potensielt store skjevheter i antall lesere sett i forhold til andre mediegrupper, og i særlig grad de enkelte avistitlene imellom. Bakgrunnen er at tallene for antall avislesere er den eneste medieundersøkelsen som ikke vektes for utdanningsnivå. Det skjer for TV-seing, radiolytting og bruk av internett. Ifølge TNS Gallup som utfører medieundersøkelsene i Norge blir konsekvensene av ikke å vekte for utdanning mer og mer alvorlige. Grunnen er at andelen med høyere utdanning er overrepresentert i undersøkelsen. Deres anslag er at enkelte avistitler får rapportert 19-24 prosent høyere lesertall enn de ville ha fått om den vektingsvariabelen som brukes i de andre undersøkelsene hadde blitt implementert. Aviser lever av å publisere informasjon som er så presis som mulig. Torry PedersenAnsvarlig redaktør/adm. dir. Tagboard.

Is Facebook Testing ‘Trending Now’ News Feed Posts? Digiday | Digital Content, Digital Advertising, Digital Marketing. Dette er de nye nettimperiene. (Dagbladet): Anerkjente Oxford Internet Institutes har laget disse kartet som deler verden inn etter hvilket nettsteder som er de mest besøkte i landet. De baserer seg på brukeranalyser fra det amerikanske selskapet Alexa. Det nye verdenskartet viser tydelig hvilke selskaper som er internettets superimperialister: Verdensherredømmet er delt mellom søkemotoren Google og nettsamfunnet Facebook. Facebook størst i Norge I hele 62 land er Google nettstedet som er mest besøkt. Facebook, som ble startet i USA i 2004, har rukket å bli det mest besøkte nettstedet i 50 land. Et av disse landene er Norge, men ellers dominerer Facebook i det meste av Midt-Østen, Nord-Afrika og den spasktalende delen av Sør-Amerika. - Det er ikke så overraskende at det er disse to selskapene som er mest besøkt i de aller fleste land.

I flere svært folkerike land har ikke de to USA-baserte selskapene imperium. Skiller seg ut Den kinesiske søkemotoren Baidu er den mest besøkte i Kina. Sør for Sahara er mange land blanke. What inner city kids know about social media, and why we should listen — I.M.H.O. I know which of my teenage students smokes weed in the park after class on Fridays, and which other students are with him. I know which ones are struggling with making friends in their first few weeks at college, and which ones aren’t.

I know which of my students chafe against overly strict parents on a regular basis. I know which one spends every weekend in the hospital due to a chronic condition. I know which ones got arrested last night. I know all these things because I follow them all on various social media services. And they know I know; this isn’t some kind of stolen glance into the online life of teenagers that no one is supposed to see. Contrary to popular belief among adults, these teenagers are not oblivious to privacy settings and do care a good amount about who can see what online.

Are actual teachers—that is, those employed by the school system—tapped into this wealth of information from their students? Becoming Techie Teacher They know more than we do about social media. The Benefits Of Your Company Getting On Twitter Everyday. Twitter has quickly become a key aspect for business marketing and brand building. Since Twitter is real-time, there is something happening during every second of the day.

If you don’t use Twitter at least once a day, there can be a lot to get caught up on by the next morning. Rather than get behind or miss out on opportunities, you should log on every day and make sure you are doing the following things: Connect with clients/customers If you have nothing original to tweet, you can never send out too many @mentions. Customers like to feel special and their own mention in your tweet will do just that. You should try and tweet at least 1-3 times per day. Here’s an example of interacting with your audience by Maxwell Systems. Friday fun – here’s a list of the 55 strangest buildings worldwide.

Timing is everything. Screw virality! Antisocial networks are on the rise. By Sarah Lacy On September 23, 2013 I’ve compared Mark Zuckerberg to Bill Gates before. It’s both a flattering and unflattering comparison. The parallels aren’t perfect, but both men have built huge and defensible businesses by commanding monopoly-like positions in our digital lives. Microsoft controlled the desktop, and Facebook, like it or not, is the world’s best social graph. It won social the way Google won search. Google+ isn’t pulling an Android-like spoiler. But as we all know, just because it’s comprehensive, doesn’t mean Facebook is the best place to have every connection and conversation. An anti-social network isn’t as simple as being a mere Facebook alternative, or a niche social network.

Turns out if you want to have conversations with people you know, plan events, and share photos, Facebook is the place to go. How do you succeed against Facebook? When it comes to building a consumer Web company around human relationships, the smartest entrepreneurs aren’t thinking niche. Social Media Tools. Digital and Social Media Marketing. Social Media. Grow a social business starting with Twitter - oneforty. Min viktigste nyhetskilde - Medienorge - fakta om norske massemedier - statistikkmeny. Oversikten over hvordan nordmenn vurderer ulike medier som nyhetskilde, er hentet fra TNS Gallups store mediebruksundersøkelse Forbruker & Media.

Undersøkelsen gjennomføres via telefon og kartlegger ulike sider ved mediebruken i Norge. I en tilleggsdel til Forbruker & Media blir et mindre utvalg bedt om blant annet å vurdere hvor viktige ulike medier/plattformer er som nyhetskilde. Mediene skal ikke rangeres i forhold til hverandre, og flere medier kan krysses av som viktige/uviktige. Tilleggsdelen besvares via et spørreskjema, enten på papir eller nett. Telefondelen av undersøkelsen foregår blant de som er 12 år og eldre, mens aldersgrensen for deltakerne i tilleggsdelen har variert. Du kan velge å få resultatene fordelt etter kjønn, alder, utdanning, inntekt og bosted, og du kan velge andeler for ett eller flere svaralternativ (enig, litt enig osv.). IACP Center for Social Media > Resources > Fun Facts. Small Business and Social Media. Small businesses owners can attest to the struggles and limitations that come with the territory: few financial resources, a lack of exposure, and not enough time in the day to get everything done.

Taking on another responsibility isn’t something small business owners can afford to, but it isn’t something they can’t either. But for many small business owners the thought of managing social media is overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. How Social Media Benefits Your Business Of course managing social media for your small business takes some time and effort, but it’s worth it.

With social media: You can easily interact with current clients.You can connect with thousands of potential clients.You have access to a global audience.You can build your image and your professional brand.

Social Media by the Numbers 1. 2. 3. Bruken av sosiale medier er fortsatt stigende i Norge | Ipsos MMI. Like under 3 millioner av Norges befolkning har nå profil på Facebook, og over halvparten er innom Facebook hver eneste dag! I en landsrepresentativ undersøkelse Ipsos MMI har gjennomført blant 1080 personer 18 år og eldre, fremgår det at hele 75 % har profil på Facebook. Til sammenlikning har 22% profil på Google+ (864 000), 21% profil på Twitter (825 000), 20 % profil på Linkedin (786 000). Blant bildedeletjenestene har 17 % av Norges befolkning Instagram (668 000), og 11% har Snapchat profil (432 000). Spesielt interessant er det å se på utviklingen fra vår siste undersøkelse høsten 2012. Vi ser at veksten for Facebook er på 7%, og tjenesten ser ut til å nærme seg et mettningspunkt. Det er imidlertid sterk vekst for Google+ (+26%) og Twitter (+17%), og også spesielt Instagram (+45%). Fordelingen mellom kjønnene er helt lik for Facebook, mens 6 av 10 brukere av Twitter, Google+ og Linkedin er menn, er 6 av 10 Instagrambrukere kvinner.

Twitter Tips. Who Uses Twitter? Young, Affluent, Educated Non-White Males, Suggests Data [STUDY] How to use #hashtags properly. | Vato Co. Digital Creative Agency. It’s a little sad that so many people in 2013 still don’t understand what a hashtag is and how it works. Hopefully this blog article will help put an end to the fact that you radiate stupidity everytime you post something. Firstly, if you don’t know what a hashtag really is for, and have no intention of reading the rest of this article, how about this.Stop using hashtags. Just stop. So what is a hashtag? A hashtag looks like this: #examplehashtag You can use them on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook in your updates. Tagging has been around for a long time in the blog world.

Ps. Helt ute på tasta-tur - VG Nett om Mads A. Andersen kommenterer. Dette er en beskjed til deg som «twitrer for egen regning»: Det er totalt nytteløst å informere om det. For det er alle andre enn deg som avgjør hvem eller hva du forbindes med. Og dette er totalt uavhengig av dine egne nedskrevne skillelinjer på sosiale medier. Det er som tidligere rådgiver for Erna Solberg, Odd Hoen-Sevje, skrev da han jobbet i Høyre: «Twitrer privat helt til jeg twitrer noe som er dumt nok til å havne i en avis». Dette er ikke ordentlig tullete før du for eksempel som journalist i VG, nestleder i Oppland Høyre eller rådgiver i KrFs bystyregruppe påpeker at du «twitrer kun på egne vegne» eller «for egen regning».

For du gjør ikke det. Den høyst profilerte lederen for Seksjon for volds- og seksualforbrytelser i Oslo politidistrikt, Hanne Kristin Rohde, twitrer også «for egen regning». Senest forrige uke sikret hun seg et oppslag etter å ha kritisert kolleger i politiet på Twitter. Det tror jeg Maria Amelie profilerte kjæreste, Eivind Trædal, har gjort. Is Freedom of Tweet a Right or a Wrong? InShare110 Twitter and Facebook are under fire for the role each platform plays in unknowingly tolerating flagrant hate-fueled, public-facing obscenity and outright threats. Twitter was targeted as the result of an advocate for honoring women on British currency was deluged with sickening rape threats. Facebook too has been criticized for its molasses-like pace for contending with hate posts and groups.

In the case of Twitter, its UK branch reaffirmed its position against hate by publishing a post that acknowledged complaints and also introduced new mechanisms for flagging offending posts. When my friend Doug Gross at CNN reached out for comment on whether or not Twitter, Facebook and social networks as a whole were doing enough to protect users, I had to speak up. Expressed hate and abuse is unfortunately part of our society and it is now also part of our real-time digital culture. 200 aplicaciones gratis de gestión para el Community Manager. 7 Hot Community Jobs at UNICEF, Uber and More.
