The social nature of information :

http://socialmediacertificate.net/2010/03/the-social-nature-of-information/  The model focuses on four communication needs that people seek to satisfy when they choose media sources: information, connectivity, entertainment, and consumption.

Communication:

http://www.communicationtoolbox.com/types_of_communication_medium.html We divide the different types of communication medium into two different categories: 1. Physical media 2. Mechanical media. This site focuses on the internal communication. Our listings of types of communication medium therefore exclude external media.

http://www.iteaconnect.org/Publications/HITSKITS/PH32B.PDF : I think that communication is very important as there should be different ways to use the internet.

Privacy :  

http://www.yourrights.org.uk/yourrights/privacy/privacy-and-the-media.html  The publications of stories about your private life can be a clear breach of your right to respect for your privacy, as protected by Article 8. If a public authority were to publish such a story, you would be able to bring an action against them under the Human Rights Act 1998 for breach of your Convention rights.

http://www.adviceguide.org.uk/england/law_e/law_society_e/law_privacy_and_media_e/using_the_law_to_protect_your_information.htm I think that people privacy such as appointments, there family history should all be protected and people should be abkle to access them with out permission.

Community :

‘One could notice that a genuine community rised, because people truly feel that they belong to the tribe, and a somehow palpable pride can be felt, from the founders as well as from the other members.’

Online safety:

http://www.commonsensemedia.org/advice-for-parents/10-simple-steps-internet-safety  

http://www.commonsensemedia.org/advice-for-parents/internet-safety-tips-high-school-kids  : I think that online safety is very key. Mainly with parents that have internet at home should be very careful in what there kids are watching and playing online. Also who they are talking to and what site they are using. Parent protection should be used for young kids.

Business :

http://charlotteord.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/why-social-media-is-killing-your.html : i think that people are only creating there own websites as they are in competition with other businesses to have more than what the other team may have. This is bad as having websites can lead to Facebook and Twitter which enlarges many problems.
