When putting the critical questions on my blog, I just put one underneath the other in the same ‘entry’. Apparently, these entries have a limited quantity for words. So at some point when I posted the new questions, the oldest ones disappeared. That’s why I posted all the questions again and the H20 texts, but all in new entries. This should be complete now and I hope I didn’t find this out too late for the evaluation of the text and H20 questions.

(2003) Blogs and Journalism Need Each Other Lasica has a high opinion of blogging and it’s working. Blogging complements traditional forms of journalism and it will play a role in the future development of news. But isn’t that only true for a very small percentage of the news providing sources? First of all there are people who don’t have an Internet connection or who don’t know blogs exist. For instance, I never heard of blogs before I had to make one for this course. The spelling and grammar check of my Microsoft Word program didn’t hear of it either. Another reason is...

Www.marktplaats.nl is an intermediary site for people who are searching commodities or buyers of theirs’. I want to tell in comprehensive matter about the site and therefore my questions are: ‘What is www.marktplaats.nl and how is it used? I have made an index for my chapter, although they might differ from the final one. Chapter 1: Introduction In this foreword I’d like to inform why I’ve chosen www.markplaats.nl for this paper. That would basically be because I have used it several...

Firstly, you say: “All the fuss is about the file-sharing programs like KaZaA and Napster, because the record companies claim the decrease in record-sales on these programs. But they haven’t thought about the possible positive effects of P2P-networks.” That’s only partly right. You assume they haven’t though about the positive effects, but how can you say that for sure? I think they did think about positive effects,...

First of all, I’m not sure if I had to do this because I’m a little late with this due to my study trip to Madrid. Secondly the Internet site acts a bit awkward. My birthday seems to be invalid! I really, really don’t understand it! Apparently the first of May doesn’t count as a true birthday! So from now on I was born the 11th of May. Secondly I am sorry to say that I have some small RSI problems. Nothing big, but it did result that I couldn’t investigate the sites that thoroughly. For both the Internet sites you...

(2001) Creating and Managing Brands Wouldn’t availability and distribution be a form of branding too? In this article, Tybout and Carpenter focus on the branding of companies. But they do assume that you are in a position where you can make a choice; you can go everywhere and everything that you desire is available and the brands provide you the choice. However, I think there is one important part missing. I don’t think it’s another type of branding like the functional, image or experiential is, but it does play a role in consumers’ behaviour. One of... (more) http://rg2beentjes.blogdrive.com/comments?id=8 http://rg2beentjes.blogdrive.com/archive/7.html Mon, 07 Jun 2004 20:24:06 GMT Shirky, C. (2000) What is P2P… And What Isn’t Shirky says that the “peeriness” of P2P looks to be more like a label than a definition. What’s the difference in this case? When you label something, you define it and put in the righteous category. When you define something, you tell what it is and try to put in the right place as well. I don’t see why Shirky points out that the P2P can better be seen as a label than a definition. In this case, a lot of definitions are given to P2P networks and it’s utilities. But people label it in their own way, so I don’t understand why there should...

(2000) From Consumers to Users: Shifting the Deeper Structures of Regulation Toward Sustainable Commons and User Access In this article, it troubles Benkler that the Internet will become just another form of mass media. But would that be true? I think not. Throughout the years I’ve had some Internet experience and I witnessed a few changes. One of them, for instance, is that a lot of sites look nicer, more professional, with flashy images, sounds and so on and not all of these sites are commercial ones. There is also see a change with the commercial sites. I never had...

(2001) Geographies of the Information Society. Question: If cyberspace has no boundaries, how can it be examined? In cyberspace it seems there aren’t any boundaries. The possibilities seem unlimited and though there may be some constrictions, there are several ways to bypass them. Cyberspace it seems is nothing, but due to our social and cultural backgrounds we provide the empty space with out imagination and start shaping and designing. That means that cyberspace is virtually nothing, but can be everything we want it to be. How do we... (more) http://rg2beentjes.blogdrive.com/comments?id=4
