Today there is a new kind of online community called Social Networking Models. When an online community is powered by a Social Software, the software is designed to place certain limitations on the users and how relationships are formed, particularly when two strangers make initial contact. The number one advantage of this is the users’ behavior is regulated because the software sets a limit on the amount of contact they have with each other, as opposed to the physical world where the boundaries of interpersonal communication and appropriate behavior lie on societal norms and etiquette, which can easily be broken.

Whether taken by a photojournalist or captured by satellite; painted by Leonardo (Fig. 1) or by Breugel (Fig. 2); created by Malevich or drawn by Tatlin – there is no existing disciplinary model for understanding images that is definitive or exhaustive of the meanings that they convey to us and the value (or values) they have for us. This is why I began to develop a course in graphic design using a database model, with its potentially infinite archive and its defining filtering and sorting systems.

A Conversational Network is the most personal of all four because introductions are made through actual communication instead of just a profile or a list of interests. The medium of Conversational Networks are weblogs or blogs, which is a journal published on the Internet that contains a mixture of what is happening in a person’s life as well as the latest web trends. Blogs are updated regularly and can be maintained even by people with little technical knowledge through the use of a program or script. What happens is that a person read someone’s blog, and then gets a general idea of the author based on what he or she writes in the blog. One can even participate in someone’s blog by adding comments on their entries. Bloggers—those who own and write in blogs—have the choice to ignore their readers or reciprocate by reading and placing comments on the blogs of their readers. Then they can develop a more personal relationship through e-mails, chat, or an eyeball, a term used for people from the Internet who meet face-to-face for the first time.

Along the way, due to my abiding interest in art, I worked in three art museums, eventually becoming the director of the graphic design department at The Museum of Modern Art in New York, which produces the graphic design for exhibitions, publications and marketing.

I know. I saw lots of these kind of topics on Haloplanet too, and they all turn into over 20-page flame wars. :lol:

I take Jona's scientific viewpoint.

When people start killing others because of religion is when the whole thing starts getting a bit pathetic. I mean, you have hundreds of contracdicting religions, each of which has no evidence what-so-ever. So the chances are that your religion is fake! So why on Earth do people claim that their religions are the true ones? :|

Religion was created in ancient times because science didn't exist - There was no logical alternative. Now science does exist, but lots of very dumb people are refusing to give up religion.

The only religions that I slightly like are those that impose good morals onto their believers.

Does that mean I'm dumb? I have a religion, but I'm just confused to the point of frustration!

No, the dumb people are the leaders of the religions who are still telling you what you should or shouldn't think about the universe.

I'm a conviced atheist, I think religions are just another way to control people. But I have nothing against people who trust in God, as long as they don't disturb anyone.

If you feel bad about it, go back to the church. If you think your religion is very important, I'm sure you'd go there...
