Comentarios
Estos son los comentarios de varia gente sobre es artículo de Sonico. Para mi esta parte fue la más interesante porque es un ejemplo de usarios (posible hispanohablantes pero no sé porque les hablando ingles) que quieren compartir información sobre algo.
Hi5 seems to be big for the Caribbean, in particular. I don’t know about the S. America coverage there, but my first contacts on Hi5 came from people from the Caribbean, and they continue to be the biggest users/consumers that I encounter.
Just FYI.

interesting, and I wasn’t aware of that so thx, although I’d note that comScore only first picked it up in October. If it did have pre-existing traffic, it wasn’t big enough for comScore at least, also zero on Alexa pre-August.

51.com (targetting the China market) reportedly has over 10x (ie., 80 Million) registered users according to them (and probably true) — henceforth probably better qualifies for “the biggest social networking site you’ve probably never heard of”

You are right, I’ve never heard of it before reading your article. Looks like Facebook may be too late with it’s alternate language versions

If you are truly looking for “the biggest social networking site you’ve probably never heard of”, you should look at China’s Internet market. http://www.xiaonei.com which is essentially a clone of facebook has more than 18 million users as of 2007-11-23, according to a letter published by the website administrator. At that time, http://www.xiaonei.com was only open for registration by college students in China. Now it is open to high school students as well as working adults. So my estimate is that it should have over 25 million registered users by now.

Well, it’s not a nice “social network” I receive a lot of spam from sonico of unknow people that want to be “friend” with me.
May be the “8 million registered users” are not real.

I suppose http://www.netlog.com is as unknown as sonico but netlog is about 4 times bigger. They are also available in 15 languages.

Los Hispanohablantes, a la conquista de Second Life
No sabía en que lugar quería empezar a buscar por información sobre "comunidades de hispanohablantes en el internet" entonces escribí estas palabras en la caja de buscar e encontré este articulo. Una buena comienza para mi proyecto final.
La comunidad hispanohablante en internet se ha lanzado a la conquista de 'Second Life', la tierra prometida virtual hasta hace poco reservada casi en exclusiva a los usuarios de habla inglesa.
Los internautas de América Latina y España que se pasean por 'Second Life' empezaron a ser numerosos a mediados de 2006, pero tendían "a dispersarse entre los distintos sectores del mercado, como el sexo, los juegos de acción o las manifestaciones culturales", explica a la AFP Marcos Chagas, responsable del sitio internet 'infosegundavida', con sede en Buenos Aires y consagrado a orientar y a congregar la comunidad hispanohablante que va ganando terreno en este mundo virtual.
El principal escollo que presenta 'Second Life' para estos usuarios es que la gran mayoría de la información que circula está en inglés. "El idioma ha supuesto una traba, puesto que no permite que el programa sea suficientemente tentador", admite Chagas en conversación con la AFP.
Aunque es imposible saber cuántos miles de usuarios hispanohablantes se esconden detrás de sus avatares, unos 30.000 están inscritos en 'infosegundavida', donde exponen y comparten sus experiencias en 'Second Life', una especie de diario a bordo que ha inspirado la formación de grupos hispanos dentro de este universo.
El mayor número de avatares en América Latina se concentra en Brasil, donde siempre ha existido una "permeabilidad a las novedades de internet". Sus internautas han incluso "colonizado" una isla en 'Second Life' regentada bajo sus propias reglas, declara Chagas.
Entre los países de habla hispana, el programa cosecha un éxito creciente en Argentina, España, Chile y México, aunque también son numerosos los hispanohablantes que viven en Estados Unidos, donde nació 'Second Life'.
Mientras que este continente virtual está habitado por un público heterogéneo, la comunidad hispanohablante responde por el momento a un perfil específico.
La flexibilidad y la libertad que 'Second Life' concede al desarrollo de proyectos, desde construir un edificio a diseñar una línea de ropa, atrae a los jóvenes profesionales de esta comunidad que "están allí para potenciar su actividad y a la vez recrearse", afirma Chagas.
Poco a poco, el público hispanohablante empieza así a ganar dinero contante y sonante en este mundo irreal, ya sea montando un negocio o percibiendo sueldos "como guías, relaciones públicas o prostitutas", añade.
Sin embargo, asegura, el hecho de que el linden, la moneda que circula entre los bolsillos de los avatares, cotice respecto al dólar, hace de 'Second Life' un programa "costoso" para muchos usuarios de Latinoamérica.
En una próxima etapa, Chagas quiere dotar a 'infosegundavida' de un canal de televisión en tiempo real sobre la vida diaria en 'Second Life'. Una especie de 'Gran Hermano' sobre un mundo virtual. Internet no dejará nunca de sorprender.

AmazonFail
Quería poner todo el articulo sobre AmazonFail que encontré.
In what some initially speculated to be a homophobic new expurgation policy, Amazon.com removed hundreds of gay and lesbian themed books from its sales rating system, effectively concealing these books from online shoppers. Some titles were completely delisted from Amazon's search engine. The controversy may never have provoked such widespread media attention -- or an official company response -- if the story hadn't contagiously spread around the Twittersphere under the hashtag, #amazonfail.
As it turns out, the removal was a result of a mere programming error. Amazon spokesman Drew Herdener explained in a statement:
"This is an embarrassing and ham-fisted cataloging error for a company that prides itself on offering complete selection. It has been misreported that the issue was limited to Gay & Lesbian themed titles -- in fact, it impacted 57,310 books in a number of broad categories such as Health, Mind & Body, Reproductive & Sexual Medicine, and Erotica. This problem impacted books not just in the United States but globally."
The statement is thoughtful and well-crafted but lacked both punctuality and contrition. Sam Machkovech at Slog observes, "[Amazon's] proper, human response was run through the corporate PR wringer for a full day before finally landing." And Kate Harding over at Salon.com notes, "It's still not a real apology to all the authors and publishers affected, or the customers who had pretty good reason to wonder if Amazon had indeed instated a homophobic and misogynistic corporate policy."
Sam Machkovech
WALKING THE WALK OF SOCIAL MEDIA
Now, I know what you're thinking. Did Amazon really deserve the uproarious reaction? Were they the victim or the crime in all of this? The Seattle-based company has a track record of progressive corporate values and the problem was, after all, technical and accidental.
In a conversational medium, it doesn't just matter whether you can walk the walk -- you need to be able to talk the talk as well. With its reader reviews and customer rankings, Amazon is to a large extent a social media company. Why then was its response to this controversy somewhat anti-social?
By waiting so long to issue a statement, the company didn't just allow rumors that the company was discriminatory to circulate, it also allowed a well-known hacker to claim that the ordeal was caused by an organized prank for which he was responsible. Keeping with the maxim that "a lie will go half-way around the world while the truth is putting its boots on," several highly influential blogs (including one on Wired) gave traction to the hacker's false claims.
To be fair, this all unfolded on Easter Sunday. But while 20 Amazon employees were paged, and their attention brought to the #amazonfail meme on Twitter (by the way, more tweets contained this hashtag on Sunday than mentioned "Easter" or "Jesus"), the statement wasn't sent to reporters until Monday afternoon.
Even if the timing of Amazon's statement can be forgiven, the decision to issue a statement to the Associated Press was odd. After all, the AP was not the victim here. Why not write directly to the LGBT customers it offended (albeit unintentionally) or the authors whose book sales were affected? Amazon has plenty of channels through which it could have done this. It could've updated one of its blogs or, of all things, its Twitter feed. I guarantee that the AP and other media outlets would have covered the mea culpa either way.
I often counsel clients on the value of the Internet to bypass traditional media channels and communicated directly with customers (and other stakeholders). In this case, Amazon seems to have bypassed the concerned customers who were questioning its policies and taken its "glitch" message to the traditional media. There's a reason that media relations is only a small subset of public relations -- in this case it wasn't the right tool to reach for. Tech consultant Deanna Zandt summed up the lessons for Amazon on how not to handle a social media rampage.
Will Jeff Bezos respond?
Since Amazon issued its statement, a new hashtag has emerged: #sorryamazon. But the majority of tweets still contain the #amazonfail tag (and some are tracking along at #glitchmyass). Most folks it seems are in the mood for getting -- not giving -- an apology. As Twitterer MackStone writes, "I'm seeing 'we glitched'. That's not the same as 'we're sorry.' Apology notable by its absence."
One of the great ironies here has gone largely unnoticed: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos believes in Twitter so much that he's one of its major funders. It will be interesting to see whether he directs his company to issue the apology that Twitter users are pining for. In the vast Amazon that is the Twittersphere, the natives are getting restless.

Pablo Neruda
Ricardo Eliezer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto1 (Parral, 12 de julio de 1904 - Santiago de Chile, 23 de septiembre de 1973) conocido por el seudónimo y, más tarde, el nombre legal de Pablo Neruda, fue un poeta chileno, considerado uno de los mayores y más influyentes de su siglo, siendo llamado por el novelista Gabriel García Márquez "el más grande poeta del siglo XX en cualquier idioma2 ". También fue un destacado activista político, siendo Senador de la República, integrante del Comité Central del Partido Comunista de Chile y candidato a la Presidencia de Chile. Entre sus múltiples reconocimientos destacan el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 1971 y un Doctorado Honoris Causa por la Universidad de Oxford. En palabras del crítico Harold Bloom ningún poeta del hemisferio occidental de nuestro siglo admite comparación con él.3 --> Wikipedia
Pablo Neruda tiene mas de 30 obras famosas y durante su vida fue exilado de Chile, pero despues de todo él ganó un premio nobel de escritura. Creo que él es en escritor hispanohablante fenomino.

Estos son 10 razones porque "e-books" son más mejor de los libros originales.
1. They're quicker to obtain. If you want specific information and it's available in a book, you can purchase an eBook and download it immediately. Instead of waiting for a printed book to be delivered, you can assess this information now.
2. eBooks are more easily updated and upgraded. Information changes rapidly today. Books on many subjects can become dated very quickly. eBooks can be easily and quickly kept up to date. When you order an eBook, it can be the most up-to-the-minute information available.
3. You usually get far more than just the book. Most eBooks are sold with bonuses and related information that usually don't come with the purchase of a traditional book. You might pay the same or even a bit more for an eBook, but you usually get more, too.
4. eBooks take up less space. Instead of a bulky library, you can fit literally thousands of books on your computer. It also makes it easier to share this information with family and coworkers.
5. eBooks don't use up trees. Except when you print one out--something I usually do for booklets and special reports--eBooks use very few natural resources. We save trees and help reduce pollution from pulp mills.
6. They're more portable. You can have quick and easy access to hundreds of books on your desktop computer, notebook or eBook reader. They're much easier to take with you than traditional tomes.
7. References can be hot-linked. Easy links to Web sites and other references can be placed in an electronic book. While reading, you can click on hot links to other places to find out more. With the proliferation of wireless networks, this will become even more useful.
8. You can custom brand them. Other people's eBooks can be branded with your name and you can allow others to brand YOUR eBooks with THEIR name. There are many viral eBooks and reports that the creators will often allow you to give away or sell, with your name or company's name shown on the cover or linked at the end.
9. You can do global searches and find information quickly. When you're looking for certain information within a book, you can easily find it using the find feature. It saves you time and aggravation looking for something in particular.
10. The technology will get better. This is an emerging technology and people are often slow to change. But as the quality of monitors improve and become more compact and mobile, more and more we'll be reading electronic books.

Google y la futura para los libros...
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/22281
Para mi, este articulo fue tan interesante porque estoy estudiando este tipo de información en un otro clase de mio que se llama "U.S Electronic Media".
En mi libro dice que la "nueva cosa" es los libros digitales. Es una idea poco diferente de los libros "online" que google publicó. Creo que lo que google está haciendo es una buena idea, especialmente para los estudiantes que necesitan usar los libros para los ensayos o las presentaciones. A mi no me gusta ir al biblioteca, me da miedo porque hay tantos libros y no se donde empezar a buscar.
Pero, la cosa que mi libro habla de es los libros digitales. Es un "libro" pero no tiene paginas. Es como una computadora puequeña. Una persona puede "download" qualquier libro en su "libro digital" y cuando lee todo el libro, puede "downlaod" un otro. Pienso que es una invención interesante, pero no creo que es necesario. Pienso que un libro solo es un libro si tiene paginas. Los paginas tiene un olor especifico. PIenso que "los libros digitales" son unas cosas que podemos vivir sin.
Este articulo describe que es un "e-book" (No lo ví antes)

En mi libro dice que la "nueva cosa" es los libros digitales. Es una idea poco diferente de los libros "online" que google publicó. Creo que lo que google está haciendo es una buena idea, especialmente para los estudiantes que necesitan usar los libros para los ensayos o las presentaciones. A mi no me gusta ir al biblioteca, me da miedo porque hay tantos libros y no se donde empezar a buscar.
Pero, la cosa que mi libro habla de es los libros digitales. Es un "libro" pero no tiene paginas. Es como una computadora puequeña. Una persona puede "download" qualquier libro en su "libro digital" y cuando lee todo el libro, puede "downlaod" un otro. Pienso que es una invención interesante, pero no creo que es necesario. Pienso que un libro solo es un libro si tiene paginas. Los paginas tiene un olor especifico. PIenso que "los libros digitales" son unas cosas que podemos vivir sin.
Este articulo describe que es un "e-book" (No lo ví antes)

"la transmisión de la plabra.
La escritura es un sistema de representación gráfica de una lengua, por medio de signos grabados o dibujados sobre un soporte. Es un método de comunicación humana que se realiza por medio de signos visuales que constituyen un sistema. Un sistema de escritura puede ser completo o incompleto; es completo el que puede expresar sin ambigüedad todo lo que puede manifestar y decir una lengua determinada. Las primeras técnicas de escritura se remontan al 4000 a. C.
La invención de la escritura corresponde a un pasaje de la prehistoria en una transición de miles de años.
Aquí es un enlace para un sitio que tiene una representación visual de una cronología (timeline) que representa como han cambiado el uso de varios idiomas ancianas. http://www.ancientscripts.com/ws_timeline.html.

The Aymara or Aimara are a native ethnic group in the Andes and Altiplano regions of South America; about 2 million live in Bolivia, Peru and Northern Chile. They lived in the region for many centuries before becoming a subject people of the Inca, and later of the Spanish in the 16th century.

cosas interesantes sober el internet
Internet: Interesting Facts About The Internet
Oct.20, 2007 in Internet
How did the Internet Start and Why?
Many believe it all started with the time-sharing of IBM computers in the early 60’s at universities such as Dartmouth, Berkeley and others in the States. People would share the same computer for their computing tasks. The Internet also received help from Sputnik! After this Russian Satellite was launched in 1957, President Eisenhower formed ARPA to advance computer networking and communication.
What was ARPANET?
ARPANET stands for ‘Advanced Research Projects Agency Network’ Came about in the arena of Sputnik and the cold war. The military needed a method of communicating and sharing all the information on computers for research and development. It would also be a handy communication system if all traditional ways were wiped out in a nuclear attack.
Who coined the phrase “World Wide Web”?
Tim Berners-Lee in 1990. He’s also considered by most people as the person who started the whole thing rolling.
How fast is the Internet growing?
Very fast. It took 38 years for radio to reach 50 million users, 13 years for TV, and only 5 years for the Internet.
Number of Internet Users and Breakdown.
The Internet is roughly 35% English, 65% non-English with the Chinese at 14%. Yet only 13% of world’s population, 812 million are Internet users as of Dec. ‘04. North America has the highest continental concentration with 70% of the people using the Internet.
How big is the Internet’s surfing world?
Google’s index now stands at 8 billion pages. Roughly 812 million surfers and growing. Using email (67%) and doing reseach (45%) are the main activities, followed by getting info about products/services (41%), and checking news, weather, etc. (40%) Source: Harrisinteractive.com
What are your average surfing habits according
Each month you usually visit 59 domains, view 1,050 pages allocating 45 seconds for each page and spend about 25 hours doing all this net activity. Each surfing session lasts 51 minutes. Source: Nielsen Netratings

Pienso de todo de eso es muy interesante porque he visitado las mayas en las montañas de Guatemala. Hace cinco años, pero pienso que hablan queche?? porque tenían que traducir lo que estaban dicho dos veces. Era muy interesante porque cuando pienso en Guatemala, pienso que es un lugar en donde se hablan español pero no es la verdad por mucha de la gente.

Soy una persona honesta...entonces tengo que decirnos que a mi no me gusta los blogs. No es que no los entiendo...es más que los entiendo y no me gusta nada sobre los. No se porque. Pienso que es sólo me gusta escribir cuando tengo algo especifico para hablar de. No quiro hablar de cualquier cosa y espero que alguien lo lee. Es algo que necesito "get used to". También es dificil recordar que necesito leer los otros blogs. Estoy segura que Uds. tienen mucho para decir y que son cosas interesantes, pero quiero hablar sobre las cosas en clase "cara a cara". No necesariamente quiero leerlo en una computadora. Cuando "hablo" con una persona o cuando hay communicación, me gusta ver la cara de la otra persona.
Web 2.0
Creo que el video captura nuestra sociedad perfectamente. Poer mucha de la gente que vive aquí, todo necesita hacer rapido, la comida, el trabajo, la comunicación. Nadie tiene tiempo ahora. Pienso que el video explica esta idea porque la razón tras esta transformación es el red, y las cambias en las formas de la communicación. No "puedo" vivir un día sin mi cell! Esto es el mundo que vivimos en.
