Conclusion

In conclusion, we have observed that majority of the blog entry are about people, or the video is intended for blog purposes. It is noticeable that more than 50% of the 'uploaders' of the videos are below the age of 40. In addition, English is the dominant language of the users and most of which come from Western countries.

Therefore, based on our experiments, we could conclude that YouTube is a popular resource for streaming videos especially those in Western countries, as well as majority of the "uploaders" are below 20 years of age.

When it comes to security, YouTube is trying to enforce responsible content sharing to its users ass they block or delete explicit or offensive videos.

What is the name of your SNS?
Faceback – Facebook + Brokeback

Who are the target members? How will you call your members?
Target members are gays and lesbians. We plan to call them by spreading the information through homosexual organizations, campaigns of lesbians and gays, and through the homosexual communities.

Why would you want to create this SNS? What are the benefits?
It is a fact and it is inevitable that homosexuals in our current society are being discriminated. Whether we admit it or not, homosexual discrimination is present in our society. In addition, having uprising news about homosexuality being God made and not man made gave us the inspiration of doing this. Thus, as a result, homosexuals try to hide their true identity even if they were born with it like for example the gay firefighter in the movie I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. He felt more complete when he had been able to get out from his shell and say to the world that he is gay. They try to hide something they did not even had a chance to choose to start with and given this, we hope to give just a little light of hope to these individuals through this SNS.

Will your SNS be able to address the disadvantaged groups or individuals in the society?
Yes.

Create a vision/mission for your SNS. The V/M need not be as formal like the corporate V/M but should have clear directions. Include social responsibility in the formulation of your V/M
Faceback believe in uplifting the conditions of the ever discriminated sexes of this world. We provide the grounds for them to have their freedom and to attain their rightfully deserved rights, the things in life that this social structure has deprived of them. Working with the philosophy of a rightful society driven by freedom, Faceback shares the world’s obligation for the protection and justification of every mankind’s welfare.
Create the concept map/network diagram how the connections of the members will be established.

What will make your SNS unique compared to other existing ones? What unique interaction will you provide your members?

First of all, all existing SNS that are popular nowadays gave us only two choices – sex: male or female. By this simple choice of existing SNSs, they are already having discrimination of the sexes that are in between Current SNS never acknowledged the presence of sexes of the homosexuals. Therefore it is a need for a SNS that will cater to the homosexuals and therefore this made our SNS Faceback unique. It will be like Facebook where people are to meet other people. But, your relationships with your online friends will be different as it will be based on an online game. This game is House-Housan derived from the children game “Bahay Bahayan”. There, there will be an avatar of them but, this avatar has no restrictions to dressing. You can choose a male character and still have the options of owning women’s costumes. The concept this game is to provide the users what real life has taken away from them. Here they can marry each other, experience the responsibilities of being married, and even have children which they are supposed to feed them on time and to take care. They also should make money through the games provided so that they can have money to shop for food and even their clothing for their avatar.

Six Degrees

When the group started with the experiment, there was very little certainty that we would be able to create a full circle back to our center person: Erik Lim. We went so far as to make the circumstances and premise of the aforementioned experiment to prove the Six Degrees of Separation false—we were targeting another college (particularly the College of Education) in order to make this so. We asked Kara Katigbak, a classmate of Erik in one of his floating subjects from whom we were able to discern to be a student from CED. Then, from her, we asked her to refer to people who she knew from her college; then, from that person, another person again. So on and so forth.

It got to a point where we were able to find the sixth and last person for interviewing. It also happened that this person turned out to be a CED student who shifted to the College of Computer Studies. But it wasn't this connection or network that Erik knew him—rather, it was that they were actually from the same high school. It's really all amazing, if you think about it.. because somehow even if we had tried to go as far away from CCS as possible, we ended up back again to our home college even though technically our last person was originally from CED. In the end, it's quite hard to disprove the theory even if you start out intending to do it. :)

SOCCOMP assignment.

Hello, guys!

As you all know, we have our next group assignment on worldbuilding. I'm not sure when Iincho or Erik-kun will be uploading the pictures taken from class, but at the moment, I'd like you to visit the following sites:

http://www.sfwa.org/writing/worldbuilding1.htm
http://www.web-writer.net/fantasy/days/index.html
http://www.seventhsanctum.com/www/wwwfull.html

I'm sure that there are a whole lot of other resources on the net (I know, I've seen lots of them!), but these three are just about my favorite ones to visit. I've already have a few concepts about what I want to add (that's already including Ryvin's suggestion of having no school and stuff. xD) but a whole lot of our ideas should make it all the more better!

Oh, btw. Haven't fixed the site yet; I'm sorry for that. I'm kinda rushing something, and I won't be home tonight. >< I'll be back tomorrow though. (:


Cheers!
