...Firstly, people can use as an online dairy, using it to share the day’s happening in her life with other visitors on the net. Furthermore, if the blogger (author of the blog) has met up with certain incidents in her life, he can share it on the blog and others can console or praise him, by giving comments or leaving a message in the blog’s tag board, depending on the incident.

...mediated spaces where bloggers out together their outfits and share their shopping-related events. Fashion blogging has also been a revolutionary method for communicating and advertising through online media. Sprouting from the collective whole of blogs, called the blogosphere, fashion blogging is a whole new world of personal journals infused with the fast-paced line of design in clothing, footwear, accessories, makeup and other wearable paraphernalia. The fashion industry has been finding ways to connect through their rising audience in the modern society, and via blogging, it has secured a throne of perpetual popularity, fame and success. Through this, fashion blogging is born. Two years ago, two million blogs represent the growing and fast-rising modernity of fashion; and now, fashion blogging has been crowned the most popular form of blogging. The persona of fashion blogging itself is innovation, making use of creativity in a conventional way, following the standard of wearability of certain articles of clothing. All in one, it could express the personality of the blogger, as well as openly communicate with the audiences of the blog, while effectively advertising the pieces of fashion the blogger has been showing. B. Literature Review Fashion bloggers share their knowledge pertaining to the fashion industry, specifically in terms of new style and trends, which they share through their own blogs based on their own experience (Bunina 2013).

...the years we've announced that Search, Gmail, Drive, and many other products have encrypted connections by default, and most recently, we've made a similar announcement for our ads products. In this same vein, today we're expanding on the HTTPS Everywhere mission and beginning an initial rollout of HTTPS support for Blogspot. HTTPS is a cornerstone of internet security as it provides several important benefits: it makes it harder for bad actors to steal information or track the activities of blog authors and visitors, it helps check that visitors open the correct website and aren’t being redirected to a malicious location, and it helps detect if a bad actor tries to change any data sent from Blogger to a blog visitor. While this initial rollout won’t support all of our Blogger users, we wanted to take the first step to make HTTPS available for Blogspot; for those users who want to try it early. We’re rolling this out gradually and Blogspot authors interested in enabling HTTPS support can begin opting-in today. Simply log into https://www.blogger.com, click on the blog you’d like to make HTTPS enabled, navigate to the Settings page, and select "yes" for "HTTPS Availability". Unfortunately, blogs with custom domains are not supported in this first version. Once enabled, your blog will become accessible over both HTTP and HTTPS connections. Blogspot authors should be aware that if they choose to encrypt at this time, some of the current functionality of their blog may...

...Matthew Southwick Public Relations – 4 Individual Work – Week 10 I honestly had no idea how powerful blogs and bloggers could be. There are sites set up to direct you how to present your idea to a blogger, how it will be best received, and how many potential readers you might be able to have in your audience. Amazing! You’d better be sure to get it right the first time though because most of the reviews from bloggers themselves stated that it’s a one and done game. You only get to make that first impression the first time. Get it right and do your homework. First thing to do is read the blog. Seems simple right? Well it goes right over the heads of hundreds of PR professionals trying to get their message out. Sending PR campaigns regarding dolphins to a blogger that blogs about ONLY dogs. Hmmmmm….. How about a campaign about the benefits of using mosquito repellent to a beautician who blogs about make- up and hair styles? Way out of the loop! So when making your attempt to reach out to a potential blogger, make sure you at least know what the blog relates to and that your campaign fits their audience. Otherwise you are simply white noise and no one wants to listen to white noise. When determining the blog that fits your campaign it doesn’t have to be an identical fit. For example, if you are working on a campaign for shampoo you might be able to reach out to hair stylists, make-up artists, fashion critics, women’s issues/hot topics, mommy topics, etc. Your audience is...

My name is Stephanie Tetting Director of Safety and Efficiency for G-Bio Sports. In this dilemma there are two employees Jamal Moore and Aaron Webb that are involved in this situation.

...The Mysterious Blogger Rafael A Berastain ETH/316 Nov 14, 2013 Professor Jones The Mysterious Blogger Despite a new computer security system, someone, who must be a company employee, is still posting company information on a private blog site. Most of the information is available elsewhere, but the leak concerns you. One of your other employees determines who is posting the information, at home and without company authorization. The other employee also hacks into the blogger’s home computer and discovers a material that is not allowed in the company computers. The ethical issues on “The Mysterious Blogger” were whether the information obtained by Jamal Moore, the IT Tech was enough to discipline Aaron Webb, the blogging employee for violating the NDA policy. In one side, the company has an employee named Aaron Webb that is posting illegal blogs and violating some of the company policies. In the other hand, the company has another employee, Jamal Moore that is trying to help somehow to unsolved this mystery blogger. The only thing is that Jamal is also violating some of the company policies by letting me know about the situation. After finishing the Ethic simulation, I notice that my decision was only made on thinking only what is right and also thinking that I did not want anybody to think that I chose anybody sides. In order for the company employees to learn the consequences of wrong actions, they need it to see what the outcome was. Not really paying attention to...

...Steve Jackson Faces Resistance to Change Introduction: Steve Jackson is the Software Implementation specialist within the Project Evaluation Group at Western Construction. He is in charge of rolling out a new software package called BSO, which will assist Western Construction in their daily work. Seemingly everybody to whom he has shown BSO liked it and is on board with the change; this includes his boss, Luke Williams, along with Williams’ boss, Abu Dija. However, the person in charge of International Bidding and Consulting, Mike Barnett, is completely against the new software, to the point of recommending that Jackson be fired for even trying to introduce it. Barnett is a very influential person, so Williams and Dija have told Jackson that he needs to get him on board lest he sabotage the project entirely. Main challenges: These are what I think are Jackson’s main challenges: * Barnett is adamantly against deploying the new software to the company’s environment. This is a problem because he is respected in the organization and his influence could lead to others having doubts as well. * Jackson has been told by his two bosses that he needs to get Barnett on board, or the change will be a failure. * Jackson’s requests for help from both Williams and Dija have been answered only with reiteration that he needs to get Barnett on board; neither of them seem willing to talk to Barnett themselves. Causes: I believe there are three major causes: First...

The ethical issues on “The Mysterious Blogger” were whether the information obtained by Jamal Moore, the IT Tech was enough to discipline Aaron Webb, the blogging employee for violating the NDA policy. As for “The Veiled ID”, the ethical issue had to do with how to develop and implement a security policy that provides for employees’ physical safety and accommodating special needs. The decision making process used to work on these ethical issues were based on the job descriptions given by the simulation. These decisions were made to protect the interest of shareholders and to prevent possible discrimination lawsuit against the company. Everyone involved from investors to company employees will be affected by any ethical decisions that arise out of this issue. It will also have an effect on the community, based on the decision that is made. Doing what is morally right and fair for the primary stakeholders and the community at large is what influenced my decision making in the simulation.

...A Blogger in Their Midst Summary Lancaster-Webb Medical Supply is a manufacturer of disposable gloves and other medical products. Will Somerset, the CEO, is preparing to give a big speech introducing a remarkable nitrile glove for his company at an Industry conference. He notices that his crowd is considerably smaller when usual then finds out he was upstaged by Glove Girl. Unfortunately for Mr. Somerset Glove Girl is a blogger and a popular one at that for medical products similar to those that Lancaster-Webb produces. That is because Glove Girl is the assistant foreman at the Compton plant of Lancaster-Webb’s surgical gloves unit. From the article we know Glove Girl has blogged about * The pending launch of the nitrile gloves and about competitors’ products. * Questioning Lancaster-Webb business ethics for their next big sales pitch. * Complementing the older model SteriTouch glove, causing sales to skyrocket * Her pen pail from the factory in China about conditions there. The problem with Glove girl isn’t the fact that she has casted a shadow over Lancaster-Webb, rather the problem is that Lancaster-Webb had no control or knowledge of what she was posting. Symptoms and Causes Glove Girl provided Lancaster-Webb with a new social-media advertisement campaign which was revolutionary at the time, and it was free. Unfortunately she also disclosed confidential information to world without her company’s approval/knowledge. Blogging and social media...
