Wrap it Up

Just to Wrap Up everything from what I have learned in the Wiki Edits.
- I'll start with my Greys Anatomy Edit. I realize now that doing a TV show would be alot harder than any other things. For the most part i thought I could edit what was going on with the show as the season went by, However to my dismay I found those posts deleted. It was very challenging trying to find some information that would stick that the article did not have already on it. After seeing one of my teammates blogs I realize now that maybe I should have used CDs from the Music played on the show.
- Galway: Galway was my favorite article by far to edit. I think just because I was in Ireland editing things that I got to see first hand and learning more about Ireland really intrigued me. I thought that this would be a hard article to edit, yet suprisingly I found it to be simple and none of my edits were deleted!
- Organic- I think that I put a lot of good information on how it benefits the consumer of ogranic food, and why if not going organic can harm the consumer. Seeing that this is an important topic I realize that I should have learned how to cite better with my work, just so people can see that it is real facts.
- Jimmy Eat World- my favorite band, was also hard to find things to edit on. Alot of the stuff I found was just people's opionions on the music or the album of the band so it made it hard to add something legitimate, but I think i did pretty well considering only one post was deleted from this on.

Overall I really did Enjoy doing this project. I think these blogs and edits really have advanced my internet skill, especially in the "html code". I hope that you will enjoy reading my edits, and the full article's on the topics I have choosen.

DealCatcher

I think that the Deal Catcher Guy was definitely my favorite guest speaker that we had this semester. I think that it is really cool how he really did start from scratch and now has come a very long way. I think it gives us UD students hope for maybe the possibililty of us accomplishing something so successful.

Bud TV

Anheuser-Busch announce that it has opened an "entertainment netowrk" called BudTV, not so much for advertising but more for product placement. The website will give them a place to present content into an affordable way. They are having seven different chanels which will offer a variety of different things. One of these channels, BudTube, really gets the consumer interavtive by allowing them to create their own Bud advertisements. They also offer a comedy channel, sports channel, and hollywood channel. I think that this sounds very interesting and I really think that Anheuser-Busch can not fail in doing this. Everything is becoming more internet associated these days and I think people will be very interseted in seeing what this company has to offer, which it clearly is more technologically ahead than its competition.

Google's New Search

Google is introducing a new "Universal Search" which will bring listings not just from the news but list the news, videos, links, books, etc. all together under one search. John Battelle states that "even though others have done, this since, google is the market leader, it will get the credit for what others have done." I think this new search sounds intersting and exciting I am glad to get to see what will come up when I search on google.

Last Organic Edit

As always, I am trying to edit the benefits of Organic food section. I talked about how Dr.'s are concerned with children especially these days when it comes to food consumption. For instance just a one year old eats seven times the amount of grapes, pears and carrots, than an average adult. Apples and Strawberries are targets as well. And studies have shown that young kids drink 20 times the amount of apple juice than adults. These are raising a huge concern with doctors because of the high amount of pesticdes the kids are being exposted to which can hinder their health. Here is the organic website: ORGANIC FOOD WIKI ARTICLE

4th Jimmy Eat World Edit

For my Last Jimmy Eat World Post, I decided to edit the "Next Album" section of the Wiki Article. I think this is important to keep the readers up to date on the latest news of what is going to come out next. JEW has announced on their website that they are releasing a "mixtape" on the 28th of May, looks like the end is almost near for their new album. JIMMY EAT WORLD'S WIKI ARTICLE
