From the Paper
"Facebook is a social networking site that was once primarily targeted at the college and university student. For the past year the company has broadened its target market profile and become increasingly popular with professionals and businesses as well. Facebook earned revenues of between $100m to $150m during 2006 and the first part of 2007 primarily through an advertising partnership with Microsoft Corporation (Adegoke, 2007). Currently, Facebook is privately held and hence the difficulty in determining exact revenues. However, the company maintains in excess of 40m active account holders and receives in excess of 200k registration requests daily after just 3 years of existence (Adegoke, 2007). Facebook is highly successful and determined to continue to leverage its growing membership base and regular visitors in order to monetize its services."

Starting a home-based business provides the highest level of flexibility to an entrepreneur, as he is able to organize every facet of the business thereby creating a business catered to his own specifications. The entrepreneur controls every detail, such as product/service positioning, advertising, marketing, finance, personnel (if any) and production. Most importantly he regulates the amount of time he spends operating it.
One of the biggest obstacles faced by the start-up of a small business is financing. In regards to a home-based business, the start-up cost as well as the operating costs is low, sometimes negligible. This is a major competitive advantage that increases the overall profitability of the business.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The basic concept of Web 2.0 as a definitive evolutionary step from a Web 1.0 began to emerge following the dot com bust in the United States (US) in 2001. Many researchers admit that the massive shakeout in Web companies during this period resulted in a fewer but more specialized Web based companies than previously existed (Ellison 83). Thus, the implication is that these Web based companies that survived this tumultuous era in the Internet's history either had a stronger business model or a unique business model that allowed them to survive. The combination of these surviving Web companies and the companies that emerged after them which followed their lead led to the creation of the platforms that now comprise Web 2.0."

If offline, working with locally stored data is possible. Direct-access GIS applications are installed on the user?s computer either as java applet or as a full software. ArcExplorer is an example of a direct-access GIS used especially for intranet system based data sharing. It doesn't take too much disk space and allows preparing graphics and inserting maps in word-processing documents. ArcExplorer can be installed as stand-alone application or as ActiveX plug-in to a Web browser. (Weise, Ulrike, Internet GIS)"

"Doll collecting is a relatively new industry and has gained increasing popularity in recent years (Van Patten, 2004b). For just over 100 years now, collectors have been collecting antique and vintage dolls and dolls that were originally intended for children. According to Van Patten (2004a), 2004 was a difficult year for doll collecting. "Several high-profile doll companies, including Gotz and My Twinn, went out of business, or, like the Franklin Mint, stopped making dolls. Several high-profile retail establishments which heavily sell dolls, including FAO Schwarz and KB Toys, went bankrupt" (Van Patten, 2004, p. 1). A number of smaller doll stores continued to struggle to stay in business, faced by the double threat of eBay and a lackluster economy."

"Probable Effects of Internet-Based Global Marketing
Introduction
Technology is developing to the point wherein it is becoming ever more feasible to conduct internet-based global consumer marketing. Global marketing companies such as Nike now contract production in low-cost Third world economies; however, consumer prices for the firm's product in the American market remain high. This approach permits Nike to continue to demand high margins on their product, while simultaneously permitting distributors and retailers to employ people for distribution and sales tasks, as well as earning profits on the distribution and sales activities. Meanwhile, the producing firm located in a Third World economy, along with that firm's production employees, earns paltry profits and wages by American standards and..."

Abstract
This paper provides details on implementing and managing successful Internet Based Distance Education (DE) Programs. Distance Education is one of the fastest growing areas in higher education institutions today and like the technology that drives it, distance education is evolving, as are the skills required. The author looks at the requirements necessary to manage and run the program.
From the Paper
"Distance education programs have a propensity to grow exponentially if they are done well. Many institutions begin their distance education programs by offering a limited number of courses and they use the technology they already have in place because they are unsure of how well the courses will work or how many students will enroll. By comparison, institutions that have good distance education programs plan them from the ground up. They implement the information technology infrastructure before they begin building their classes. This helps to solve the problems before they begin. Successful distance education programs also have the necessary support staff in place before beginning course development. By providing faculty with training and technical support the quality of teaching materials is improved."

Abstract
This paper examines the role that social networks, ranging from liberal campus groups to elite private boarding schools, serve as a means of organization for different policy interests to come together. The paper is neutral on the advantages and disadvantages of this system- noting that whole the upper class often uses such networks to maintain corporate control, social networks have also been effectively employed by disadvantaged groups to further their policy goals at the local and national levels.
From the Paper
"The role of social networks is clearly illustrated by the participation of liberal college students in the "Freedom Summer" project. Participation in civil rights movements in the South was best explained by measuring the level of "structural pull" that encouraged involvement in liberal movements. Although attitudinal factors were of importance, it is not possible to be recruited toward a movement without some sort of contact with a recruitment agent (Ekland-Olson 1989). These social contacts with recruitment agents provided the first building block toward participation in a social movement, particularly in low-risk movements where social ties tend to have an increased effect on participation (McAdam 1999)."

Facebook, an Online Social Network, 2006.
Argues the danger of the online social network, Facebook.
810 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 7 sources, MLA, £ 20.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Facebook is an online social network that allows members to share and display any information instantaneously. The paper points out that most users agree that the site is a wonderful way to keep in touch with old friends and family as well as sending and receiving messages instantly. The paper then stresses that most people do not realize the danger they expose themselves to by posting pictures and daily routines on the Internet, completely open to strangers. The paper argues that the use of Facebook should be restricted because of a lack of privacy and exposure to sexual harassment.
From the Paper
"Facebook consists of a "Wall", its most distinctive characteristic, on every member's page where friends post messages. At first, this may appear to one's liking as a way to keep in touch and contact a friend in case of emergency. On the contrary, a user's postings can be viewed and perused through by every friend of the user. Also, a user's comments on a friend's wall can be viewed by the friend's friends, otherwise strangers to the user."

Urban, Rural and Social Networks, 2008.

Abstract
The paper discusses how Claude S. Fischer's ethnographic study "To Dwell Among Friends: Personal Networks in Town and City" argues with the findings of Georg Simmel and the sociologists of the Chicago School who felt that urban life had detrimental effects on the well being of the vast majority of citizens in the United States. The paper explains Fischer's essential argument that urbanism produces a different style of life, but has no visible effect on one's quality of life. The paper further explains his theory of subcultures that shows that urban environments offer more opportunities of social exchange and networking than rural environments. The paper also asserts that while Fischer's analysis is useful, with the advent of Internet we must ponder the nature of urban life from a more contemporary perspective.
From the Paper
"Fischer sharply disagrees with earlier findings on the detrimental effects that urban life has on its inhabitants. Based on his research, he draws the conclusion that whereas urban life may have once been distinguishable from rural life, at the time of his writing (the early 1980s), those differences had been nearly erased. There was no longer any such thing as "urban life" or "rural life," Fischer concludes - just a national life. The extent to which people in American society differed from one another was not rooted in where they lived, but in other factors - particularly their level of education and income, as it is these two factors that seem to have the biggest influence on the extent of one's social network."
