I call it a "World Messenger". What it is, is a a website that works like an instant messenger where you log on and instead of just a screen name, you are given a number ID. this number ID will correspond to you and only you. This will allow users to randomly message someone provide they aren't already chatting to more than a set amount of people. This can open up people to meeting others easier. The twist on this will be that that when it is enable on cellphone as an application or program, you can use a function that will look for whoever has an account around you and let you talk to them to. Example: you want to strike up a conversation with someone sitting across from you on the subway. Use the app and it finds accounts around you and voila chat away.

Our Class Wiki - So Far

I have added a new topic called New Media & the Financial Market to which i introduced how new media helps people follow the stock market and how it affects the finance industry in general. The Page isn't complete as i am still researching. I am very surprise at the fact that normal people through a combination of better market tools and new media have traders. I.e. a cab driver who start trading on his iphone left his job to become a real trade. LinkIn has also become a great tool in how corporations recruit and network.

My Term Project

My term project is title "New Media Dating"". I discuss dating websites along with general social websites as well as online video games and the impact they have had on social conventions such as relationships. I chose this topic because it was something i never really looked at before and i felt it had change through the years without me knowing. I did my research using the baruch library databases along with general information i found on Google. When i did research, many things surprise me like the type of dating sites there are out there. In the end, i have a good understanding of why there are so many sites for dating, many which are just duplicated of each other as well as how popular topics in the real world can become a idea for the birth of a New Media.
