Chapter 2--Even though I am a self taught internet user, I found Chapter 2 very interesting. The 3 "Best Darn Deals" I found in this chapter are the following:
1. Netiquette--I did not know that the intenet had their own word for etiquette. I like it. I have always tried to be respectful while communicating on the internet. A person can not take back any negative, hurt feelings. I like the name "flame wars". That is a perfect description, of some pretty nasty comments that I have seen posted. I am slowly learning the different meanings for abbreviations and how to make emoticons.
2. Blog--I have heard about blogs from a variety of media shows, but I never understood what they were or how they work. I am looking forward to learning about this form of communication. It took a little bit of work trying to figure out how to set my blog up and then to go back and type in my first posting.
3. Mark Zuckerberg--Mark Zuckerberg is the founder and CEO of Facebook. I was impressed that he was offered jobs from Microsoft and AOL, during his senior year in school. The idea he went to Harvard and came up with Facebook, is mind blowing. I am fairly familiar with Facebook. I do not play any of the games, but I do keep in contact with high school classmates that I haven't seen in years.
