WEBLOGS: Assignment One - 5 Marks

2009-03-09T18:31:00.004+05:00

I would be writing this assignment in 3 parts and subsequent assignments will be linked to it.

In first part you are required to create you own weblog with any free blog provider. The core purpose of the blog will be to discuss your studies and intellectual makeup with the outerworld. The issues that touch you most, it may be politics, arts, literature, science, technolology, sports or any other thing that is of interest to you, that whcih drive you, that which keep you going, that which define you, that whcih gives you sense of purpose in life. In doing so you would also like to showcase your university skills, works that you had done before or doing it here in my course or in some other course. Of course I am also asking to put up a page about yourself. If appropriate, a nice formal pic etc..

Spend some time giving your blog a catchy but meaningful title.

You can take further help from the wikibook on An Introduction to Weblogs (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/An_Introduction_to_Weblogs) for making a blog. Section 2 directly explains the steps required to quickly make a blog using the blogger service.

You can also find insight into the blogging at: http://weblogs.about.com/od/?once=true&

Now include the RSS Feed gadget in you blog. In Blogger this gadget can be added by going to Customize-Layout-Page Elements.

Pick up a nice new template. Select appropriate fonts and colors.

Now goto Settings and set all approprate settings. Add some description to your blog. Change all to a meaningful advantage.

Enable backlinks. See what they are? and experiment with them.

Dont forget to upload your homeworks that you have done so far. Summaries that you have taken of the lectures, presentations (if any) , or any other related work.

Add an article on your hobbies, include some pics to show your collections etc...

Include a section to give a list of the books that you have found interesting... on any subject of your interest... but should not be textbooks...

Include a section of places that you have visited... some pics or history of those places....

Include a post on the wish list ....

and about the childhood dreams ... you may want to hear Randy Pausch's The Last Lecture before that...

Include any other material that is of your interest.

I will be updating this post in few hours for the third part of the assignment.

First Term Vital Statistics

2009-03-09T15:07:00.007+05:00

Overall average (i.e. of both sections put to gether) is 79.6 percent whereas section one performed better with 82.8 percent and section three averaged 76.5 percent.

Shoaib Ahmed Zaki of section three is the highest scorer in both sections with 93.6 percent score where as Anam Manzar is highest in section one by scoring 93.2 percent.

Here are the percentile results:

Percentile Score

83 13.4

70 13.0

60 12.51

54 12.42

50 12.26

31 11.51

Each one of you can look at his/her own score wihtout anyaccounting for any makeup to find out his/her percentile rank. Lets say if you have scored 12.6, your fall in under 60th percentile because it is more than 12.51 but less than 13 to qualifiy for 70th percentile. It would be interpreted as atleast there were 60 percent test takers (i.e. both sections inculded) who score less than you! or alternately you may interpret it as: you are among the top 40 percent of the those who took this test. It can be a great tool to help you understand your ranking in the course.

Now few other interpretations that comes handy when we look at this percentile data. Section one's averge is 12.42 which is equivalent to 54th percentile meaning 54 percent of the entire test takers scored less than this average. Section three on the other hand has an average of 11.48 close to 31st percentile meaning only 31 percent scored belower than this!.

So it means section 3 has performed slower than the section one. This may be due to the fact that four people could only attain grade F!

Anybody who has scored less than 10.65 occupies bottom 20 percent of the pool! and anybody scoring less than 10 is in the last 10 percent of the test takers.

67 percent of section one has scored more than 80 percent whereas 43 percent of section three has scored more than 80 percent.

Finally read your scores with 4 percent makeup points! This will help us reduce the 'fat tail' of section three and for section one it will be time for bonus.

Journey to Web2.0,

2009-01-20T17:04:00.001+05:00

I am starting this series of posts to discuss the concept of Web2.0. To begin with visit as many of these sites as you can, take a look at their product range, feel the difference and comment here.

Now is the time for me to expand on the web 2.0 after I have defined the terms Ajax, Masups, ASP, blogs ... It is lot more easier to define what web 2.0 is not rather than what it is. It is not a version of some technology or software rather a new generation of web technology usage.

Accoring to Tim O'reily:

"Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the Internet as a platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform."

For more involved reading I would suggest to consult wikipedia before we move any further. So I am hoping more views on this to further the debate.

Guest Speaker Sesssion: Saturday, 24th January 2009 at 3:00PM - 5:00PM Venue: City Campus Auditorium

Why we should blog?

2009-01-20T12:24:00.000+05:00

Please if you have not followed the technorati's report then read through here... These images are taken from technorati's report on blogosphere and reproduced for non-profit and student's interest. The following image shows that blogging is now a global phenomenon.

Generally blogs fall in one of these categories or mix of these. The following image can help understand that:

See and guess in which segment our blog falls?

[Both personal and professional topics are equally popular. Forty percent of bloggers consider their blogging topics outside of these categories. “Other” blog topics include: 2008 election, alternative energy, art, beauty, blogging, comics, communication, cooking/food, crafts, design, environment, internet/Web 2.0, Jamaica, and media/journalism.

Three-quarters of bloggers cover three or more topics. The average number of topics blogged about is five.

There were some global differences. Music is more popular and politics is less popular in Asia, while personal, lifestyle, and religious topics are less popular in Europe.] From Technorati's Report

Some of the reasons why people should blog are: (and it holds tru for pakistani bloggers too)

Self expression and sharing expertise are the top reasons for blogging
Personal satisfaction is the key success metric for three out of four bloggers
Most Professional and Corporate Bloggers have benefited professionally

You can take complete view of the reasons with charts to get more on this in the report.

One in four bloggers spends ten hours or more blogging each week. The most influential bloggers are even more prolific.

Over half of the Technorati top authority (http://support.technorati.com/faq/topic/71) bloggers post five or more times per day, and they are twice as likely to tag their blog posts compared to other bloggers.

Can someone among you help me explain what does this term means? You can take a look at the given link first.

On future of blogging the report says...

“There will be more blogs used in education, particularly among K-12 students and teachers. Bookmarks will merge with blogs for those of us who use our blogs as note-pads or filing cabinets. Blog archives will be viewed as a rich source of cultural history. Blogs will be a means for more collaborative team work. People will expect businesses, media, and print organizations, even government organizations, to have some form of blog, in order to promote communication. Blogging will also help to provide insight to businesses about their consumers.”
Lynn Marentette

“Although today's form of blogging is a volunatary form of self-expression, in the future our experiences, actions, locations, and preferecnes will be auto-recorded directly to the web.”

“The future of blogging will be an auto-synching of our lives directly to the web —often a quiet recording in the background”
Jeremiah Owyang
Senior Analyst, Social Computing
[already quoted in one of my comments on blogosphere post]

Hope this would have helped understand the nature of blogosphere further especially to those who did not take a look at the technorati report on the state of blogoshoere 2008.
