MORE TALKING ABOUT THINGS! - week 10

Amanda's presentation was about online forums. They're basically an online community...comprised mainly of members opinions. She talked about the features of some forum software. I have been the administrator of my own forums in my time, such as my band's forum, so I knew a lot of what she was talking about, but it was very interesting. Registration is (obviously) a HUGE part of becoming a member of a forum. She mentioned how some forums are set up so that it asks questions to verify you are a real user as opposed to a SPAMBOT of some sort. She also mentioned avatars, signatures and permissions of admins and moderators. Overall it was good.

Rachel talked about a program I use nearly everyday.... Window's Live Messenger. She took surveys of 12 people and 10 used MSN messenger daily, the other 2 used it at least once a week. She showed us the interface of MSN and described the buttons and what each thing does. She showed us PC to PC phone calls through MSN too. It was GOOD.
