"Suffering From Facebook Fatigue"

By: Anita Hamilton
http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1731516,00.html?CNN=yes

In Introduction to Library Research and Technology we recently discussed the idea of information overload -- feeling overwhelmed by TOO much information seeping into our email accounts and in our search results. This feeling applies only too perfectly to the evolution of facebook.com. Keeping up with the applications, quizzes, ratings, etc. is becoming incredibly difficult. A few weeks ago I had resigned to trying to keep up with everything that was being thrown at me in my facebook account. And just this week, at dinner with my friends on Monday, they began excitedly talking about the new "flair" application and desperately wanted to know why I had not added this application that was "so much fun!"

Anita Hamilton wrote the article, "Suffering From Facebook Fatigue?" and seems to recognize this issue with the social network. Hamilton explains how the applications have become a vicious cycle because in order to add them, you have to invite more friends to add them. As a result, those friends send you another invitation to add the same or another application in return. In order to keep up and keep your inbox up to date, you have to check your facebook account on a daily basis just to weed out the junk. It can become very frustrating.

Hamilton addresses another issue that I recently found to be true as I spent yesterday afternoon playing catch up with my facebook friends. Advertisers frequently create icons that look like the "ok" button or "next" button or "accept" button. These disguised links can bring to user to an undesired location leaving them feeling confused.

I was happy to see that the author is feeling the same frustrations with the network that I am because none of my friends appear to be plagued by this constant weeding and pulling and adding and sending and inviting.

One of my biggest problems with the facebook community is the applications that allow you to rank friends by popularity. It resembles an immature adventure back to the superficially judgemental days of middle and high school. On my facebook account, I have recently moved up the social ladder to "social butterfly." Are we actually ranking people? And are we actually doing it according to how many "friends" we have in an online community?

Nevertheless, despite these frustrations and annoyances, I continue to facebook. Is it addictive?

False Information on the Web

I was obviously aware that there is false information on the web, but I didn't realize that there were so many people doing it in subtle ways on purpose, and doing it in a way that shows that they are intentionally fooling web-surfers who visit their site.

I can understand the political reasons for creating counterfeit websites. If the government or organization is involved with something that a person doesn't agree with, then a good way to publicize the counter-information may be to create a similar site that readers could stumble upon accidently and as a result, discover a different side of the information; however, withholding the information that the site is not the official site does not seem like an ethical way to inform others in my opinion. These sites should be up front about their purpose to argue against the government or organization's program because that supports their argument that they are a trustworthy source. How can researchers consider the information valid on a website whose creators have lied about their own identity and initially portrayed themselves and their site to be something that it ultimately was not?

But, when the counterfeit websites are obviously giving false information it can be humorous. The other day I was searching for diets that could help me get into quick shape for the summer. I clicked on one of the first google results and found a diet and consisted of basically water and cardboard. Day four's meal plan does not even include a meal! On the last day the dieter is told to gorge him or herself only to return back to day one the following day. It made me laugh and brought me back to reality a little bit -- be healthy, not a yo-yo dieter.

As far as the false email information -- I thought everyone knew that. Maybe its because I grew up with email and the internet. The information included here seems like its more for the older generations who are learning how to use the internet later in life. Ever since I opened my first email account, there were always people telling me not to believe what I get in emails, and basically to ignore forwards, "warnings," and "charities," which I have been doing since day one and what I similarly do with forwarded text messages now.

I like that the author wrote, "Can we all say photoshop?" because it can get frustrating when so many people in America seem to believe everything they see, but in a world with technology like photoshop, we can't!!

"International Technology Report sees Denmark at Top"

By: Joshua Hill
Thursday, April 10, 2008
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/2596

An indepedendent news source in Canada reported on the results of the Global Information Technology Report today, announcing Denmark's rise to the top of the international assessment. The reporter, Joshua Hill, calls the report "the world's most respected assessment of the impact of information and communication technology on the development process and competitiveness across the planet."
The assessment evaluates how different countries are working to implement technology in their economies; essentially, how technology can impact business, economy, and individuals through social networks and communities. The report calls for other countries to follow Denmark's lead in the application of technology and communication in every aspect of our lives stating that "the Danish government actually cared about the implementation of technology in their country."
The update also gave the results of past reports, informing that Denmark moved up two spaces since the last assessment in 2003, showing their effort in the continuation of improvement.
It is also interesting to see that most of the top 10 spots are occupied by Nordic countries such as Sweden, Finland, Netherlands, Iceland and Norway.
The article also reports that it was a "bit of a surprise" to see the US at number 4 -- 3 spots higher than the last assessment. I wonder why this would come as a surprise. As an American I feel as though technology is becoming an increasingly prominent part of our lives on a daily basis. I would like to know more about why this Canadian reporter's opinion is what it is to gain a better understanding of an outside opinion of America and its approach to technology implementation. I could not help but notice that Canada's rank in the evaluation has not been reported, information that I believe, whether positive or negative, Canadians who are reading this report, would prefer to be aware of.

"Can Wikipedia Ever Make the Grade?"

I have frequently gone to Wikipedia for information. While in college, many professors have advised against taking any information obtained from the site as credible; however, it has always been a great place to get at least the "basics" of a topic. Although I have never used Wikipedia as a "source" in bibliographies for research papers, it is usually the first site I go to to get information that lays the groundwork for the topic I plan on researching.
I think that "Dr. al-Halawi's" test on Wikipedia was brilliant. What better way to find out if the site is credible than to post information that you know is false and monitor how long it takes before the information is deleted, or if it is even deleted at all. However, in agreement with the article, although the false information was deleted within a few hours, what about the surfers who absorbed that false information during those few hours? There is no way to inform that the information was invalid.
While many professors and others with doctorates in particular fields may be encouraged to contribute to the contents of the site, one may still question whether they will because of financial factors. Is there any compensation for these educated people who may or may not contribute? If so, the percentage may raise, if not, what motivation do they have when there are several scholarly journals who are willing to compensate them for their troubles in research.
Overall, while most of the information posted on Wikipedia may be valid, it still should not be considered a reliable source because of it's openness to the public. Because anyone can post whatever they choose -- even if it only stays up for a few hours-- one should not rely solely on Wikipedia for information. In my own research, however, I will continue to consider it a preliminary source as I begin research.

Yahoo! Launches Shine

"Yahoo hopes to 'Shine' with advertisers on new Women's site" cnn.com
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/ptech/03/31/shine.yahoo.ap/index.html

"Yahoo launches Shine website for women"http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5jZIuj0pc1jpKO3cT1mQYiwHrBLnA

Two separate articles reviewed the new Yahoo! website, Shine, which launched Monday, March 30, 2008. (http://shine.yahoo.com) Each article reviewed the topic differently; one addressing the financial need for Yahoo! to create a successful website and the other targeted to the demographic for whom the website was created. Although the point of view and targeted audience of each article is different, the basic information is the same – Yahoo!’s newest website, Shine, is aimed towards women between the ages 25 and 54, will be presented in blog form (newest information towards the top of the page) with editor commentary and will include information on parenting, sex, love, fashion, healthy living and food.
According to the article posted on cnn.com, Yahoo! is working with Heart Communications Inc. which publishes Redbook, Cosmopolitan, Good Housekeeping and other women’s magazines, as well as other similar companies. This article also stated that Yahoo! may have chosen to target women of this age group because in many cases they are prominent decision-makers in their households, concerning product purchasing.
According to the article posted on afp.google.com, website editor-in-chief Brandon Holley (Is this a guy?!) said, “Yahoo Shine speaks to you as a friend, telling you the secrets and tips to simplify your life.” The article also informed that the website will “showcase popular blogs” as well as display articles written by a news staff.
Financially, this is a great decision for Yahoo!. Personally, I have never preferred Yahoo! search engine, mail, games or any other service; however, this may be a fun, interesting, helpful new site for women. Especially because women’s magazines sell extremely well (I don’t know many women who don’t purchase People, Cosmo, Redbook or some other variation on a regular basis), I think that if this site catches on, it could do really well for Yahoo! and the associated companies as well. But really – is Brandon Holley a guy? Yahoo! should keep that secret – no woman wants to take womanly advice from a man.

"Memphis Mayor Wants to Close Five Libraries"

"Memphis Mayor Wants to Close Five Libraries"
By: Norman Oder -- Library Journal, March 20, 2008

Willie Herenton is the mayor of Memphis, Tennessee and plans to close five of the nineteen branches of the Memphis Public Library and Information Center as well as four community centers in an effort to save almost $2 million a year. Previously, Herenton made a decision to appoint "two nonlibrarians at the helm of the [Memphis public] library," and this along with this new decision have aroused a lot of criticism among Memphis residents. While the mayor referred to the libraries to be closed as "underused" and "deteriorating," some online commenters replied, stating that the libraries were instead, "neighborhood anchors."
Although an efficiency study conducted last year determined that it would be beneficial to close those five libraries, it also indicated that the resources from those libraries should be relocated to other centers; however, Herenton's statements did not address what would be done in reference to the resources from the five libraries after they close.
Some suspect that the announcement may have been intended to encourage a tax increase from Memphis residents if they realize that they may risk losing five of the public libraries in their area without it.
The problem remains seemingly unsolved. I can not imagine closing down five libraries within an area. In my small hometown of Sneads Ferry, North Carolina, we have a very small, very old branch of the Onslow County Public Libraries. Despite that this library is underused in comparison with other larger libraries is more densely populated areas, it is still very important to the members of our small community. Without it, the closest library would be at least thirty minutes away from our home. I hope that Herenton and the rest of the Memphis community can come to a different conclusion, one that will save the libraries in Memphis.

Book News: Penn State Libraries Get Hemingway Letters Archive

"Book News: Penn State Libraries Get Hemingway Letters Archive"
By: Michael Rogers -- Library Journal, 3/11/2008
http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6540020.html

Penn State University Libraries have recently purchased an enormous collection of personal letters of the famous author, Ernest Hemingway. According to the article the collection contains "more than 100 letters, telegrams, and notes from 1917 to 1957." The author's nephew, Ernest, inherited the collection from his mother, Hemingway's sister.

William L. Joyce, the head of Penn State's Special Collections Library, notes that the documents will reveal a more personal side of Hemingway that has rarely been known to the public, showing greater dimensions of the famous author. He states that the letters "humanize this great American writer and display aspect of his personality previously underappreciated."

For those who already appreciate Hemingway's work, this new perspective on his personal life will be an enlightening new addition to their studies. It may also be helpful to those studying American history. The article states that the correspondence was posted from several different locations including, Michigan, Kansas City, Montana, Key West and several others. I believe this indicates that there may be first-hand information to be learned about different American locations up to nearly a century ago.

Sandra Spainer, who is a Penn State English professor has been directing a "massive international Hemingway Letters Project" consisting of 12 volumes, and plans to publish volume I in 2009. This collection will eventually appear in later editions of the project.

Thankfully, the public will not have to wait until 2009 or even later to get their eyes on this priceless addition to the Penn State Library's collection. The documents are scheduled to be available to the public later this year.

I reference my perspective as an English major frequently, and here I will again. The personal collections of authors can offer fresh perspectives about those authors and the real lives they lived. Although it is not always acceptable to interpret an author's work in correlation with his personal life, it is often very interesting. In this case, those who choose to delve deeper into the life and works of Ernest Hemingway will be able to do so not only from biographies, but from his own autobiography in the form of letters to his closest family members. How exciting!

Infodiet: How Libraries Can Offer an Appetizing Alternative to Google

As an English major at UNCW, I find it very difficult to believe that there are college students who actually believe that they do not need the library or any of its resources. In the four years that I have been a student, it seems that I have spent at least half of that time in Randall Library or on the library's website reading, researching, printing, copying, re-reading, re-researching...

In the article, "Infodiet: How Libraries Can Offer an Appetizing Alternative to Google," the author uses bad dieting as an analogy for the bad researching college students are resorting to. He refers to James Morris, dean of the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, who "coined the term 'infobesity,' which nicely describes the outcome of Google-izing [allusion to Supersizing] research: a junk-information diet, consisting of overwhelming amounts of low-quality material that is hard to digest and leads to research papers of equally low quality." Naturally, the cure for "infobesity" is "infodieting."

In the article, the author discusses whether or not libraries and databases should modify their search engines to imitate Google's format. He claims that while at first he was in disagreement with this idea, he is now an advocate for it. I feel conflicted about the issue. It would be far more convenient to work with library catalogs and other databases that were consistent with one another instead of learning and re-learning how to use each database; however, should it really be made so easy? Isn't college supposed to be a challenge? Aren't we supposed to be LEARNING HOW TO LEARN?

I am disappointed that my generation of college students portrayed in this article is not being up to the task of learning how to use the materials that can help them get the information they need; information that is truly useful and applicable. While this may be true of many students, I know few who have discarded the library's resources. Perhaps it is because I am in the English department and am therefore around many other people who feel the same way I do about books, research and reading. The professors in the English department, I believe, instilled that in their students. Since declaring my major, I have not written a single research paper without a required number of "scholarly sources," and a limited number of "other sources." I think the professors in the English department have set an admirable example and standard for all professors. At the end of my senior seminar last semester, I wrote a twenty-some page research paper which did not include a single non-scholarly source, which was not a requirement, just a result of my own appreciation for "digestable, high nutrition information."

Don't get me wrong, though. I love Google just as much as anyone. As a matter a fact, I use it on a daily basis -- literally. But I think its important to know when to use it and when its just not quite up to par.

Universal Library Card

Universal Card for all Libraries
By: Mark Beaton
Bayshore Broadcasting Corporation
http://www.radioowensound.com/news.php?id=9568

Marzio Apolloni is the director of the Bruce County Public Library in Ontario. He is currently requesting that a universal library card be issued to all Ontario residents that would give all members access to all public libraries in Ontario. Mark Beaton, the author of the article, records Apolloni as reporting that "the more libraries try to diversify the services they provide, the more they become attractive to their users... [and] libraries are becoming more active in economic development and tourism."

Although the idea seems convenient and as though it would universally accepted, Apolloni also reports that all the libraries in Ontario would need to change their data systems in order to accommodate the membership changes.

It is also recorded in the article that Ontario will not be the first province in Canada to initiate a universal library card and that several states in the US also have a universal library card.

There may be several states in the US that have issued universal library cards; however, North Carolina is not one of them. As I understand, there are universal library cards per county, but they do not extend past the county lines. I grew up in Onslow County, but have frequently spent time in Pender, New Hanover and Brunswick Counties. Because my library card is for Onslow County, if I were to choose to live in Wilmington after graduation, I would have to apply for a New Hanover County library card. The concept of a state-wide library card is an excellent idea. Why not even make it country-wide? When on vacation or visiting friends or relatives, why shouldn't all Americans have access to all US libraries?

"Canadian Students Test Nintendo Wii Workout"

"Canadian Students Test Nintendo Wii workout: Canadian students have given each other a Wii workout to see if the top-selling video game console can get couch potatoes to work up a sweat"
By Reuters
Published: January 23,2008
http://www.news.com/Canadian-students-test-Nintendo-Wii-workout/2100-1043_3-6227307.html?tag=cd.hed

The latest video game craze is Nintendo's Wii. The system provides an interactive, almost virtual experience of its games. For example, in order to bowl in WiiSports, the player actually has to mimic the motions that one would perform in an actual bowling ally. A device that attaches to the television screen senses the players movement of the Wii Remote which dictates the player's on-screen Mii. (A Mii is a personalized character on the game system).

In this news article, a Wii player, Justin White, who is also a fourth-year kinesiology student, while playing the Wii boxing game, he "'noticed how exerting it was.'" As a result, he convinced his colleagues to help him perform an experiment to discover if playing Wii could qualify as a cardiovascular workout. They "tested the impact of playing the Wii boxing game for thirty minutes against a thirty-minute walk in a local park and an equal amount of time doing a 'boxercise' video." For each activity, the participants' heart-rates were monitored for comparison.

The results were surprising: playing Wii does not qualify as a cardiovascular workout. The reporter quotes White saying, "If they're looking for cardiovascular fitness, I'd advise them to do something else because it's really not intense enough." Although the participants who played Wii boxing did not experience as much as exertion as those doing the "boxercise" video, they did experience more than those who were walking in the park.

Whatever the level of exertion, at least it is some. I own a Wii, and frequently find myself out of breath or with an elevated heart-rate after playing long sessions with friends. Although this activity may not be considered a cardiovascular workout, it is definately better than sitting on the couch sans movement at all.

The article also revealed that later this year, Nintendo intends to release "Wii Fit, an exercise game that allows the user to perform a variety of exercises" and even tracks their body-mass index. In Japan, Wii Fit has already sold over one million copies and I expect that it will be just as popular in the US -- I can't wait to purchase it myself.

"Zap to do Three-Wheeled Car in 2009"

"Zap to do Three-Wheeled Car in 2009: Zap, the electric car company based in Santa Rosa, Calif., is adding another electric car to its lineup"
By Michael Kanellos Staff Writer, CNET News.com

In recent years, and definately recent months, Americans seem to be becoming more concerned with ways to protect the environement, at least in theory if not in practice. Because of this movement, there has been an increase in the production of more environment-friendly products, such as electric cars. While the latest model from Zap which will debut in 2009 is not the first of its kind entirely, it is different because its a high speed model which sits on only three wheels. The model is called "Alias" and will have a "top speed of over 100 miles an hour and go 150 miles on a charge, according to Zap." The sophisticated electric tricycle, however, will come at a price of $30,000.

The company has decided to make their electric model at three-wheeler because of the decrease in weight of the vehicle; because it is lighter, it will be able to travel further and last longer on a single charge that previous electric cars.

In the article, the author boasts that these three-wheeled vehicles will reach the market faster than possibly expected because they are technically considered motorcycles. Because of this classification there is "less safety testing." While this view is presented as an advantage, I think it quite the opposite. A vehicle that functions so differently from the majority of the cars on the roads today should be subject to vigorous safety tests in order to insure maximum security to its drivers and passengers. The electric cars may be beneficial to the environment, but what good is that if they turn out to be harmful to human beings' safety on the road.

The company will begin work on the Zap-X later this year which is an electric SUV. Because America appears to be obsessed with gas-guzzling SUVs hopefully this will be an economically-friendly way to satisfy the craving.

"Information Navigation 101"

"Information Navigation 101: New programs teach undergraduates how to use the Internet and the online card catalog in search of the best sources"
By Andrea L. Foster

In the article, "Information Navigation 101" by Andrea L. Foster, the author argues that although today's college-aged students may appear to be technologically savvy, they are seriously lacking knowledge when it comes to using resources in the library to find appropriate academic information. Frances A. May, a library coordinator of user education and outreach states, "'students think they know more than they do.'" While this comment may seem harsh, I think it holds a great deal of truth. There are many avenues of research that most students have not even begun to tap into.

Foster informs the reader of the dramatic increases in digitally available text over the last several years and indicates that because of the increase "students are drowning in information." As a college student, I find this to be a very true statement. There seems to be so much information existing literally at my fingertips that it can become overwhelming to even think of sorting it all out. The entire process can become frustrating and as a result many students are turning to Google and Wikipedia for the easiest answers. While Google and Wikipedia remain constant references of my own (because I feel like I am at least somewhat capable of determining relevancy and authority), I think it's also important to understand other systems of "information navigation."

The article goes on the discuss a "kind of instruction [that is] occuring at colleges all over the country as part of 'information literacy,' a growing librarian-led movement to make students more adept at locating and evaluating electronic data." I experienced such instruction on more than one "class field trip" to the library during my college education. Although with each session (they were the same lesson repeated) I was able to get a better grasp on the concept of navigating, in my now senior year of college, I feel that I have only just now gained a level of understanding that could truly be useful to me in research projects. It may have been more effective if, instead of only one library session per class per semester, there were follow-up sessions. This way the information would not have to be so condensed into one 50 minute session. However, the ideal is not always the attainable. Its unrealistic to think that on top of all other duties, librarians should also make time to become full-time teachers university-wide.

News Article #2

"Facebook Makes a Friend on Wall Street" By Seth Sutel
January 30, 2008 7:48 am
TechNewsWorld
http://www.technewsworld.com/story/Facebook-Makes-a-Friend-on-Wall-Street-61438.html

TheFacebook.com began as an online community comprised of college students enabling them to chat, join groups, share photos, etc. TheFacebook appeared to be an immediate success and apparently this continues to remain true, as reported in the news story "Facebook Makes a Friend on Wall Street" by Seth Sutel early this morning.

The online community, which has fairly recently opened membership eligibility to everyone, not limiting itself to college students, now includes hundreds of available applications allowing the users to individualize their page and providing new ways for the users to interact with one another. The latest application? It's called "SeenThis?" and its sponsored by the Wall Street Journal Online, Facebook's newest "friend." According to Sutel, the feature "will allow readers to see which Journal stories are popular among that user's Facebook friends," serving as a type of recommendation to the user, hopefully prompting them to visit the article online or purchase a copy of the Journal, a method of advertising that has been proven successful by companies such as Amazon.com. Sutel reports that Daniel Bernard, the general manger for Wall Street Journal Online explained that each Facebook user will have to opt to have the application; it will not start immediately on its own.

Another application that will be available is "widget" defined by Sutel as "a small, self-contained application that does a specific task." In this case it will show "video and other material from Cnet and other providers." This widget will be visible to others who visit the pages of those who do use the widget, hopefully enticing even more users to add the application.

I think its a great way for the Wall Street Journal online to advertise. It's helpful for its users and it will probably also be beneficial for the company. As a user of Facebook, however, I'm a bit overwhelmed at the hundreds of different applications that are available. I have even stopped using them. I think it would have been more effective if it had come along a bit earlier in the game.

"Are Librarians Totally Obsolete?"

The article "Are Librarians Totally Obsolete?" by Will Sherman gives "33 Reasons Why Libraries and Librarians are Still Important." In a culture in which the internet seems to rule all, many people are thinking that at some point there will no longer be a need for libraries or librarians. This article proves the contrary, giving 33 valid reasons why this will never be the case. The reasons are believable and substantially supported, easily convincing the reader of its argument.

One important point made in the article is that libraries and the internet are not the same thing. I think it is great to point out a fact that although obvious is often overlooked. Because libraries and the internet are not the same thing, it would be impossible for one of those to replace the other. There may be people who believe that the internet is an updated, more efficient form of the library. This is not the case. The internet is just a different way to gather different types of information (not "better" or "more accurate" information, just different). It is important to remember that libraries are integrating the internet as an additional form of research; the two are working together, not against one another.

One of the reasons that I found interesting, and even a bit humorous because of the should-be obviousness of the idea. Reason number fourteen states, "We just can't count on physical libraries disappearing." Well of course we can't! Not only because of their importance in filing and preserving important archives and various forms of information, I can hardly imagine a time that the internet will be able to replace everything a library provides. A computer screen will never be able to replicate the atmosphere, the reliability, the comfort, or many other aspects of a library. I believe that there will always be a need in our society for libraries.

"Hackers Target Aspiring Internet Scammers: A new phishing kit puts wannabe scammers against seasoned fraudsters" By Jeremy Kirk, IDG News Service - January 23, 2008

InfoWorld reporter Jeremy Kirk recently published an article describing a growing and innovative internet scam. This new scam is targeting other, less experienced hackers. A skilled group of hackers, calling themselves “Mr. Brain,” has developed a series of easy-to-use software packages which permit its users to replicate the websites of well-known brands. The purpose of these mock-websites is to deceive the internet users who find them into giving out their personal information such as bank account numbers, credit card details and social security numbers. In the article, this type of deception is referred to as “phishing.” Some of the major brands that have been targeted and replicated within the software are Bank of America, eBay, PayPal, and HSBC.

In addition, Mr. Brain is distributing this software completely free of charge. Researchers soon discovered the motive for this suspicious “charity.” Paul Mutton is the internet services developer at Netcraft, and during an interview with Kirk revealed that further research conducted by Netcraft, which is a security company in Bath, England, revealed that Mr. Brain has programmed the software to automatically forward the collected private information directly to an email account controlled by Mr. Brain. The “special email function” is hidden in a “blend of PHP scripts. Essentially, the hackers who use the software distributed by Mr. Brain are doing all the leg work for the more experienced group of hackers. Although it is uncertain how many of these phishing kits are actually being used, Netcraft has posted screenshots on its website. Links to Netcraft’s website are provided in Kirk’s article.

I think its astonishing the lengths that people are willing to go to in order to steal what rightfully belongs to someone else. These Mr. Brain hackers have obviously spent a lot of time, thought, energy, and probably someone else's money into figuring out how to develop this software, advertise it, give it away, and then use it for their own gain. It's also amazing that there are so many people who are readily putting this software to use.
