NMT project review

Our research findings were based on two websites. NAMS and The RWJF (The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation).

The main difference between the two sites was that one was a web 2.0 while the other one was not. The RWJF website was a web 2.0 hence the site gained more awareness compared to the NAMS website. Along the way to completing the project, I have learnt that a web 2.0 site gains get more attention as it is linked to other social media websites that involves any member of the public.

Frankly, I did not enjoy this subject as I did not understand what the subject was about. It was really dry and boring. But I still learnt a few new things about New Media Trends.

Reflection on lecture.

5 key points:

1. Be ready for criticism
2. There will be no second chances.
3. Clients may ask you to redo a whole website if they do not like it
4. There will be many people out in the working world
5. There will be many different projects to complete

Based on these points, I feel that life outside school will be hard as it is not as forgiving. Ideas that you have may be thrown away and if your client does not like them. You also have to deal with the different attitudes. But however bad the criticism/feedback, you must always keep trying to make it out there.

List 3 things  that has inspired you from this lecture.

There was nothing that inspired me from this lecture.

Do you think its useful to have a guest speaker to share their expertise, experience and “Tips & Tricks” of the trade?

I think it’s cool to have a guest speaker come over and share their expertise,experience and Tips. However, I would prefer if the guest speaker was more experienced in giving speeches.

Literature Review

Was made to do this reviw on the blog.

I searched mashable.com for articles and came across this article :

Windows 7 Launch Sales: 234% Better Than Vista

The NPD Group has some figures now from the Windows 7 launch, and are reporting that the new Microsoft operating system is selling well — or at least, much better
than Vista did at its launch. In the first few days of sales, Windows 7 units in the U.S. moved 234 percent faster than Vista did in its equivalent launch window.

Unfortunately, thanks to pre-sales discounts and general lack of promotional effort behind the Ultimate version, revenue growth wasn’t quite as impressive.
Looking strictly at dollar sales, Windows 7 is up 82% over than the equivalent time period for Vista.

The PC hardware sales picture wasn’t nearly as rosy, however.
Although total PC sales were up 49 percent in year-over-year sales and a full 95 percent over the previous week, the overall growth rate was not as high as during the
Vista launch window, which saw a 68% jump in year-over-year and 170% gain over the week prior to Vista’s launch. Vista had a slight advantage with its January
 release however, which typically shows a larger PC sales footprint than the month of October.

 

I chose this article because i agree that windows 7 is selling much faster than windows vista. Being a windows vista user , I understand fully the problems faced with the current Operating system.

However , I have yet to try out the new windows 7 so it’s pretty hard for me to comment on the subject .
