What makes a community

You might ask, what makes a community? Well, people make a community in are case. People that share the same interest in something make up a community. You may be 4'11 and another person may be 7'2 but you both "Love" the color blue, so technically you both are part of a community in a way.
Same goes for people online. for example I am part of plenty of communities on the web like millions of others. here goes a few.
MYSPACE
ESPN
GOOGLE
YAHOO
HOTMAIL

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A COMMON INTEREST WITH OTHER PEOPLE THAT IS A COMMUNITY EVEN IF ITS ONLINE. THERE IS SO MUCH IN COMMON WITH ONLINE COMMUNITIES AND PHYSICAL COMMUNITIES!

Dot.com to dot.Bomb

From the "Prodigy dinosaur" everything went SOUTH. I don't understand how something like this could get so animated and blow up. It just seems creepy since I was unaware of this occurring.

Buying Online

I think online buying is good I don't see how it can be dangerous. II don't think you can ever be 100 percent careful when purchasing things over the Internet, its easier shopping I purchased a phone from Tmobile three weeks ago, It made me a bit nervous paying for it with my debit card, but I have been with the company for 4 years, and haven’t had a problem with my card beforeCraigs lists gives you the opportunity to communicate with your buyers/sellers. You can get pictures, and bid for that items purchase price to be dropped. If you haven’t tried buying something online, you may consider giving it a try.

Book Review

The book I choose to read is World Without Secrets.
This book explains how the future moving us towards a world of ever-present computing-a world in which we are surrounded by smart machines that are constantly on, always aware, and always monitoring us. These developments will create a world virtually without secrets in which information is widely available and analyzable worldwide. This environment will certainly affect business, government, and the individual alike, dramatically affecting the way organizations and individuals interact. This book explores the implications of the coming world and suggests and explores policy options that can protect individuals and organizations from exploitation and safeguard the implicit contract between employees, businesses, and society itself.

Should be interesting to read.
