The second site that I am doing is www.ilike.com. This site is very interesting because it’s all about music. The site does involve communication if you want to, but it is not necessary. What you do on the site is make a profile then the site will give you a bunch of different artists to choose from, you pick the one that u like and don’t pick the ones you don’t like. When you have gone through all of the artists you go to your home page. Here you can pick your top 12 artist or get songs that the site recommends you will like based on your musical taste. You can also add a photo of yourself so that other people can see you. Another good feature about it is that you can see other people with the same music taste as you. After you see who has similar music tastes you can add them as friends and leave them comments.
     The part of the site that makes it appeal to more people is that you can download the iLike program which works in sink with iTunes. You can auto organize you songs on and add new songs such as the ones the site recommended. Then you can see the songs that your friends like and search the artist to listen to some songs. Even if you don’t download the iLike program you can listen to full songs on the web site.

            I think that many people will use this site because it works with iTunes which is already a very well used program. It also appeals to a wide variety of ages because it has older artists and younger artist in a lot of genres. It has artists from The Beach Boys to 50 cent, form Maria Carey to Aretha Franklin.

            I don’t think that there will be lots of problems because it is a well thought out site but a problem I had for it was that sometimes when you ask for more recommended songs it gives you the same songs over again. I think that it will solve a lot of problems such as disorganized songs on iTunes or having to pay for some songs.

            I like this site because it works well with new technology and it connects you with other people that you will probably find interesting. It is also good because you can talk to people and see the songs that they like or play the most. You can also get free MP3 downloads of songs that you like. That’s why I like www.ilik.com.

      The first site that I am doing is www.poddater.com. The main concept of pod dating is relatively simple. What you have to do is sign up for the site then you can find people all over the world, in your country or city that are on the site who are looking for a relationship or friends. You can specifically find people in your area or you can just browse through profiles and check out the ones you like. Pod dater sounds like a normal dating site but it has its differences. For one, the reason why it is called pod dating is because when you make a profile you are supposed to take a short video of yourself and post it on your profile. This helps the people that are interested see that it is really you and lets them know a little about you. There is also another exciting difference about pod dater, you can download your pod daters onto your iPod so that you know who they are when you meet them.
     
Many people use this site who vary in ages. The main target age of the site is for people around 18-45. This site also isn’t just a dating site, you can specifically find people that just want friends that you can talk to. This site promotes communication, collaboration, sharing and social networking by showing other people that it is really you and telling them about yourself instead of being just another profile on a plain dating site. It helps people realizes that you are real and not using a fake picture to impress people. It also helps sharing because when the person that you are going to meet downloads your video clip onto their iPod the can share your video with other people.
     
I think that this site will fix the many problems that a typical dating site has such as people using fake pictures. This helps you see the real person and know what who you are getting involved with. I think it will also help when you meet the person because if you have their clip on your iPod it will be easier to find them. Some problems I see that this site could have would be that not everyone can make a video clip and post it on the profile very easily. People also could have slower computers and it would take to long and be too much of a hassle to wait for them to load.
     
I like this site because it shows that the creators took time and effort into seeing what the problems in a normal dating site would have and tried to fix them. I also like it because it appeals to modern day people who use their iPod a lot. It is very easy to browse around and look at profile and then videos don’t take too long to load. Even if your iPod isn’t a video iPod you can still put the clip onto it.

Communication 

To me communication is sharing information from one person to another. You can communicate by doing many things such as the usual ones which are talking touching and writing. You can also communicate in different ways for people with different needs such as sign language for deaf people or brail for blind people. If these ways didn’t exist then people who communicate in different ways wouldn’t be able to and then they would be unable to survive.

The internet has recently become a very big part of communication. The internet allows you to communicate with people all around the world without costing a lot. This means that people will be able to stay in touch with their families and friends more. The internet is also a way to meet new people in the safety of your home.

There is now tools that can help us translate different languages so that we can be able to communicate with people that have different languages and cultures. This helps learn new things and understand other people better.

Now even our phones can keep use in touch with people without talking to them. You can go on the internet and msn over your phone or even watch television or listen to music on your phone. New words that you can use to communicate are being added to the dictionary all the time. This helps you communicate what you are thinking or feeling.
