Wikipedia Wrap-Up

After editing my 4 pages over the past semester there were some major changes made to 2 of my articles (Gruvis Malt and Moorestown High School). The other two articles I added useful information but it did not change the site drastically.

I feel that I did make a difference in the Gruvis Malt article because I started an "Awards" section which can be grown upon. I listed the small-time awards they have received and even how to vote for the awards they are currently nominated for. With Moorestown High School I started an "Athletics" section. This section highlighted some of the athletic accomplishments made by Moorestown High School students and has even been edited by another person (although it looks like it was more of a joke that a student pulled on another). This at least means that people are viewing the athletic section which I wrote up and have thought about adding to it.

Class Topic #4: Placing Ads on Google

When I first saw our professor place ads on google for his Barbaro event I thought it would never work. I thought people would click on it but realize it was not what they were looking for. Therefore he would be charged money but not see any return. It was to my surprise when I turned on the TV later that night and saw a commercial for the nightly news highlighting his event. I feel that this shows how internet advertising can be used for so many different businesses and even events. It is able to target the people you want for a marginal price. It would cost 600+ to advertise even in the school news paper, on Google you can hit your target market for just $20 a day.

Wikipedia Change #16

I added what Domino's IPO was offered at. This article was extremely hard to edit, I wish I had chosen another article. It's good to be done with it though.

Class Topic #3: HTML

I never knew how easy it was to get started writing HTML. I originally had a computer science minor here at UD and took many programming classes. I'm surprised HTML was never covered. I learned how to program in a number of different languages but HTML was skipped over. I feel that if they had taught HTML I might have kept the minor. It is a language which has the most potential for modern day use. I could have actually used it on my own time, not just for assigned projects, and computer science may have kept me interested over the four years I have been here.
