2nd Wikipedia Edit on Brady Quinn

I recently conducted an edit on wikipedia about Brady Quinn. If you look at his professional career I changed the first line stating "Quinn is projected to be the number two quartback drafted in the 2007 NFL Draft by either the Browns or Vikings". Sports announcers have been saying this for weeks its a two team race for him. Only time will tell what team Brady will end up with.

Required Readings

I recently came across an article called Mochila Syndicates Video in Player. This is a multi-media player that offers video, text articles and photo slideshows. It's a new advertising tool that generates revenue three different ways between Mochila, content owners and publishers. This is a ad-supported player from which pulls content from content owners around the web.

Class Material

We recently discussed about primary reseach. According to Conducting Primary Research website, "Primary research involves collecting data about a given subject directly from the real world".

I just recently have been conducting primary research for another class of mine and did not realize how intense and involved it can be.

1st Comment on Jessica Williams blog

Recently Jessica posted a comment about phishing. Phishing refers to the act of gaining sensitive data from a user by sending the individual an e-mail that request an update to an account of a legitimate web-site or a trusted source.

It is funny but I use PNC outline to check my account all the time, and only about a week ago did i have to enter more passwords to get into my account. I think it can be annoying, but it is a more effective way of preventing others from getting into my account.
