*INTERFACE
Strengths
-Yahoo: Very user0freiendly. most people think icons are easier to understand and Yahoo uses a lot of icons to illustrate different aspects of there messaging.
-Google: Google chat is easy to understand and navigate, however, it can he confusing because it is within Gmail and not everyone has a Gmail account.
-Skype: You can play games while in the video chat/ share and show documents or pictures. Very understandable and easy to navigate around. I prefer Skype over Google and Yahoo because it is easiest to use.

Weaknesses
-Yahoo: Other people can call in at the same time and the pop-up is kind of confusing/ frustrating when you're already in a conversation.
-Google: Google doesn't have as many options as Skype or Yahoo does.
-Skype: Sometimes Skype can freeze and delay a conversation.

*EASE OF USE
Strengths
-Yahoo: Like I said earlier, very user-friendly with icons for people who might not understand computer language.
-Google: Google products are very user-friendly as well and also versatile.
-Skype: Skype is more consumer friendly I believe because it is made just for this use, whereas, Yahoo and Google has more going on.

Weaknesses
- I didn't find any weaknesses from either option because they were all very easy to use.

*SKYPE:
I believe Skype is more for the computer literate because it doesn't have as many icons, however, it has the best quality in my opinion compared to Google and Yahoo. You can personalize Skype with being "away" or "offline" and you can type in status update. It also shows if you have missed calls or messages which I think is useful when you're on the go. I also like the fact that you can share videos with each other. For example, if I wanted to watch a Youtube video I can share it and they can watch it to at the same time.

*GOOGLE:
Google chat is very easy to use because it is a part of Gmail, however, if you don't have a Gmail account it can be annoying to get on just for the video part. Although, if you do have Gmail, like I do, the chat is easy to figure out and it doesn't take up the whole screen.

*YAHOO:
Yahoo video chat allows you to switch, resize and move videos around as well as mute, put on hold or share files. In most other aspects Yahoo chat is most similar to Google chat.

Lab Exercise 14

The Smith’s own and operate a small antique business out of their home. Since the company is growing and there are larger requests they want to move into internet shopping. The Smith’s have decided to set up an e-commerce system so people can order any antique they choose from the comfort of their home or work. After searching multiple websites for different software’s that can do this job, they have chosen three they will be comparing. These software’s include: PrestaShop, osCommerce, and Magneto. Since they have been trying to choose which one to go with they have based their ultimate verdict on five decisive factors: Inventory, payment methods, shipping, customer service options, and site search ability.

Every business needs to get paid and needs to get paid well in order to survive today’s economic construction. The Smith’s are making sure they choose a reliable system that can help with their overall duties in owning their own business. PrestaShop presents an application that manages the online business such as inventory, orders, shipping, and customers in real time. It also offers real- time currency exchange rates. PrestaShop has customized product (text and image), wishlist, customer reviews, and unlimited categories and sub-categories options which would allow customers to search all antiques before they actually buy one. OsCommerce has a huge advantage that allows for an unlimited amount of products. This is a good feature to have with antique selling because everyone knows antiques most often come in large quantities. Magneto offers the following services: catalog browsing, product browsing, analytics and reporting that is integrated with Google Analytics, customer reviews, cross-selling, customer tags, compare products, and wishlists. The Smith’s chose PrestaShop as the best in this category because of the text and image option in the search. We all know how important it is to see the actual thing we are buying and in what condition it is in to be considered an “antique”. PrestaShop offers multiple payment options such as PayPal and Google checkout module and also offers special deals such as vouchers and price reductions. OsCommerce provides payment methods through Authorize.net, 2Checkout, ChronoPay, iPayment.de, PayPal, PsiGate, SECPay, TrustCommerce, and other add-on payment systems. Magneto service offers payment by methods of Website Payments Standard and Pro, PayPal, Authorize.net, Google Checkout, electronic checks/money orders, purchase orders, and also allows for arrangements to be made for offline payments. Although most of these were along the same lines, the Smith’s have decided that again PrestaShop was their favorite because most everyone has an account or can freely get an account to PayPal and they loved the option of discounts, because antiques can get expensive. Since all three of the e-commerce users are allowed to set the shipping rates at whatever they feel necessary, the shipping aspect wasn’t a huge deciding factor for the Smith’s. Customer Service options are a huge deal because ultimately it is the buyer who is constantly looking and navigating through the website. The Smith’s decided that they equally like PrestaShop and Magneto because PrestaShop offers a link called “custom favicon” and Magneto offers “Contact us”. They determined both of these elements are important for an e-commerce systems web page. Site search ability almost goes hand-in-hand with customer service. If a customer knows exactly what he/she wants they should be able to find it easily without going through the entire inventory. All sites included a “search” tab, which is excellent but not helpful in the decision making process.

While a decision was becoming necessary for moving forward with their business, the Smith’s ultimately decided to go with the PrestaShop web page because it overall won in comparing and contrasting pros and cons. Although some of the websites offered roughly the same material, PrestaShop seems to be easiest to use, navigate, manage, and make the process from being a home business to becoming a world-wide e-commerce website effortless.

Lab Exercise 11

-This image reminds me of England, obviously although I have never been there. I like this photo because I have always wanted to go there and still do to this day. I love the way these telephone booths are so iconic throughout London. When you see one, you automatically know what it is.
-http://farm1.static.flickr.com/231/514555513_b02adf939c_t.jpg



-I love the style of this old phone. It makes me think of my grandparents time just by the way it looks. It reminds me of a time in our nation which was easier and less stressful, although I do not know what some of these buttons mean.
-http://farm1.static.flickr.com/151/408669138_c6ffec2f80_t.jpg



-This photo now takes me to our time and our generation by the way it looks. It is more modernized looking and has all different buttons that do different things. It looks like it has caller -id, which shows that we are stressful people now always having to know who is calling us. It reminds me that our technologies are constantly changing and upgrading to new inventions.
-http://farm1.static.flickr.com/187/403945711_46332792b2_t.jpg



-I am not really sure what time period this phone is from but nonetheless, it looks old. I don't really understand what everything on it means or what all the wires are. It looks like it may have been used in an office building of some sort or at least a work environment, maybe even hotels.
-http://farm1.static.flickr.com/171/383415100_5c242f5b0c_t.jpg



-Now this phone makes me think of our time period now. To me it symbolizes the modern era and how we focus so highly on work that these phones can actually access email, internet and save everything you need in your phone. It is small which makes it easier to use and carry around with you, which in a sense makes it more accessible and ready to use. What can they come up with next?

-This video portrays photography in 1946. It starts off by showing flicker images of different American pastimes, such as baseball and everyone gathering around a new television set. It then goes into how photographs were actually made and how the photographer would fix it up before he gave it to the customer. It then showed how all of this turned into the film making process and how a filmmaker would look at individual slides of the actual picture. I liked this video because of the way it depicted Americas past time and one of the industries that has really boomed in our nation, which is photography.

- The recommendations of artists for each different search engine were practically the same. They usually had one or two of the same artists listed or sometimes more than two.

Lab Exercise 7

Part 1:
*Youtube: "Kittens Inspired by Kittens"
-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtX8nswnUKU

1.) The video started playing quickly and I did not have to wait for it to load.
2.) I was able to watch the entire video without it stopping all the way through.
3.) There is a "related videos" link on the side that gives you more videos to watch in that some genre. There are links at the top saying "Home", "Video", "Channels", and "Shows". At the "Home" link you can pick the genre you want, it gives you videos that are being watched currently and recommended videos for you. under the "shows", you can pick a category or watch movie trailers. It also gives you some videos of every genre to watch. Under "Videos" you can also pick a category and in the center of the page it shows you about two-dozen different videos to choose from. Lastly, under "Channels" you once again pick a category or choose from the different genres in the center of the page.
4.) Some features at Youtube are different than the other sites, such as, the fact that you can post your own videos and they can be videos about really anything.
5.) I thought the actual viewing experience was enjoyable and you can make the video full screen if you wish which is a nice option to have.
6.) No, there were no ads before or after this video.
7.) I watched it all the way through without it freezing at all.

*Hulu: "E! News Now: Beyonce Gets Real with Tyra"
-http://www.hulu.com/watch/127889/e-news-now-beyonce-gets-real-with-tyra

1.) This video started very quickly.
2.) i was able to watch the whole thing through without stopping.
3.) You can click "Channels" and it gives you the different genres to pick from. "Most Popular", "Recently added", "Trailers" and "Spotlight" all gives you genres and a list of videos to choose from. "Labs" is a feature that lets you try out experimental projects online and get feedback.
4.) These features are unique to this site because it offers whole T.V episodes and other video clips.
5.) The actual viewing experience is good, you also have the option to make it full size.
6.) Yes, there was an ad before the quick video, it was for Nationwide Insurance.
7.) It is continuously, it never froze.

* Veoh: " Olympic Sports: Sledding"
-http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/sports#watch%3Dv19748314CqZgqhMG

1.) It started right after I clicked it to play.
2.) I was able to watch this video all the way through also.
3.) Features on this site include,"My Veoh", "Videos", "TV Shows", "Movies", "Music", "Channels",and groups. If you go to each one of these sites, it will give you a drop down list of categories to choose from.
4.) There really aren't any features at this site that is particular to this site alone.
5.) The actual viewing experience is good as well, there was nothing I saw wrong.
6.) Yes, there was an ad before, it was to watch mojo.com.
7.) This video never froze either, it was continuous.

Part 2:
Youtube- "Barack Obama: On Net Neutrality":

Veoh- "Fantasia for Real":
Watch Fantasia For Real | View More Free Videos Online at Veoh.com

Hulu-"Net Neutrality":

Watch it on Academic Earth

- It was very easy to embed a video, however, Youtube and Hulu were the easiest to embed because it actually had a place that said "embed". On Veoh, I didn't think I was going to be able to embed it because you really had to search more for it. When you do embed a video, it gives you the option to customize it or not by color and adding a border, etc.
