Final Summary Post

This entrepreneurship project was very helpful to me and it was a great experience. As I blogged each week from what I learn about technologies in class, I could have thought of actual companies and the technologies they use in real life. It helped me not only to learn about the entrepreneurship but also to study and review the things that I learn in class.

This project gave me the idea of how the actual companies are working and how they have several divisions to work and concentrate on their own parts for the companies. Each week developed me to form several specific parts of my entrepreneurial company.

This blogging project was new to me and I never thought of doing blogs but it was a worthy experience. Before this project, I only watched and read others' blogs but it was fun to be one of the bloggers sharing ideas. Now I'm one of the bloggers who can share and read creative and interesting ideas on the internet with tons of  bloggers around the world.

Week 7 - Blog Review Post

There is a website called http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/ that provides funny pictures, videos and stuff. I found this website first from http://failblog.org/ when I was bored and was looking for funny stuff to look around to kill my time. And it was a great discovery for me because the website and the blogs were funny to me.

It wasn't easy to find the creator because I only knew http://failblog.org/ but it was only a part of the http://www.icanhascheezburger.com/. The owner of the website is Ben Huh and the creators are Eric Nakagawa from Hawaii and his girl friend Kari Unebasami. The guy is called Cheezburger and his girl friend is known as Tofuburger. This website was created in January, 2007. They started with a picture of a smiling, fat cat with the caption 'I can has cheezburger?' which was actually their inside joke but they started to post more pictures and opened the comments. After posting similar images, Nakagawa converted the site to a blog.

Visitors increased day by day and it became one of the famous websites receiving 1,500,000 hits per day. In September, 2007, a group of investors acquired this website for $ 2 million. The site's blogs are posted by the readers now and the current owner of the website is Ben Huh, according to Wikipedia.

This is a great website because many people find this kind of funny websites to spend their times surfing internet to laugh when they are bored. Now, people make their time to visit such kinds of websites to find something funny to laugh. However, there are a lot of websites like this, this website succeeded drawing more visitors among many competitive similar websites.

Week 6 - Basics of Systems

As we run a markets that produce items and own online markets, we need computer experts to manage those things. Those professionals should know not only the functions of computers but also the basics of computers. Unix/Linux are the basics of computers they should know if they learned well. These are the operating systems that had been used until couple years ago before computers were developed like these days. They were gradually forgotten by many computer users because they require memorization of the terms and orders to use them and modern computers are developed to use them without knowing those terms.

However, we still need computer experts who know the basics of computer because we need to have good security to protect our online shopping markets and order processes. Also the networks between factories and markets shouldn't be hacked to be altered then it will affect our business badly. As our store deals with money mostly, the numbers we type in on computers are very important. No one else other than our officers should have an access to it so we need a strong security to protect them that our computer experts are going to make.

FileZilla that we used for the lab this week is used to transfer files from computer to computer or between networks. This will be useful between transferring files between markets and online shopping departments. They will be helpful to manage numerous items with destinations to identify and prices to calculate. There shouldn't be any mistake to damage customers' order or markets's accounting by writing orders on paper or calculate each orders by hand. This file transferring will be helpful to exchange order records on excel.
