Email and Ethics Search Engine

Part 2: Evaluating Emails

Jump ahead in the textbook and read pp. 365-71, on email etiquette, and check out this website, which lists 101 email etiquette tips: http://101emailetiquettetips.com/

Then, read over a wide selection of emails that you received and sent over the past week or so, in both personal and professional contexts, and assess how well those emails follow the etiquette outlined both in the textbook and on the website. Write one paragraph analyzing the emails you've received and one paragraph analyzing those you've sent.

In analyzing the e-mails received over the last week, there are several areas for improvement both with co-workers within the company I work for, and with friends who frequently send very large files across personal and private e-mail systems. The most noticeable gaffe of all however are the mis-spellings and very rapid requests for help or assistance, which appear terse and at times demanding.…… [Read More]

The use of Search Engine Marketing

Most business organizations are supposed to ensure the adoption of a suitable Marketing Strategy to ensure the attainment of their goals. The nature of business determines the strategy to be implemented, as different business transactions will suit different organizational needs.

Input 'Qualitative Studies' Into a Search Engine

Input 'qualitative studies' into a search engine and an abundant and myriad of studies pop up on the screen. What makes the article igor in qualitative social work research: A review of strategies used in published articles (Barusch, Gringeri, George, 2011) one that catches the reader's attention is that it is the epitome of a qualitative study accomplished with quantitative results. The difference between qualitative and quantitative studies are that one is measuring feelings, thoughts, perceptions, ideas and the human element of academic studies, while the other is used to quantify material in numerical or statistical context to verify trends, patterns, results, applications and inferences.

The abstract of the igor study is a perfect example of mixing the qualitative and quantitative methodologies; the study sough to describe strategies used by social workers to enhance the rigor of their qualitative work. Interestingly enough, the study's quantitative aspects are stated right up…… [Read More]

Search Me Taylor Neil Search

Its success might be called an 'anti-marketing' campaign given that it was done without careful marketing segmentation -- it was marketed to all consumers, with a unified image. Although it does not fit the conventional definitions of either service or product design, and in many ways seems to exist in undefined virtual space, it still possesses a loyal core of users.

The goal of every branding campaign, Taylor suggests, is to create a clear brand image. The simpler the object, like a soda, a hamburger, or a search engine, and the greater the number of competitors or substitutes, the clearer a product's image must be in the mind of the consumer. Clutter and added amenities do not necessarily add to the perceived, unique value of the product. Make sure that the product delivers on its promises. Because Google has done all of these things, it is hard to imagine a…… [Read More]

Academic Research Writing Television Searching for

The article was dated from 1977 and would not have been available to me, had I simply Googled for results on the popular show. Older information is not always available on the World Wide Web, given that many academic articles and articles from history are not open to free access by the general public. This article, if I were to research the impact of the Mary Tyler Moore Show upon feminist and sexual liberation politics would be a useful example both of how the show was seen during the time of its airing, as well as provide scholarly analysis of the show's content. However, not all sources from an academic library are written by scholars: the ESC library contains a number of books on Mary Tyler Moore that are not scholarly, such as the actress' autobiography as well as books published by academic presses such as Heartland TV: Prime time…… [Read More]

Google Search Experience Assessment of

The Google Scholar search engine appears more comprehensive in scope relative to ProQuest as well. This is attributable to the greater number of courses Google indexes from an academic standpoint to gain this data. While ProQuest does not have as much content accessible using Boolean search parameters as Google Scholar, of the documents it indexes, a higher percentage of them are accessible. There is also a greater level of flexibility in how citations are downloaded on ProQuest relative to Google Scholar. Support for APA, AMA, Turabian, and Harvard formats is available on ProQuest for example and not available on Google Scholar. This can be a significant time saving feature when larger papers are being researched.

When a Boolean search was completed using the Google U.S. Government Search, 58,200 documents were found, and like Google Scholar, when the exact search term "Tenured faculty & Post-tenure review models" was used, no matches…… [Read More]

search I intended to use various keyword searches in order to find the relevant literature regarding how lifestyle modification compared to no modification in liver transplant patients, with a view to the impact on quality of life over 4 months post-operation. I was utilizing an intervention PICO and the reviews that I deemed relevant were systematic, reviews with meta-analysis of randomized control trials, case control studies, qualitative studies, and articles in which expert opinion was pronounced. Thus the purpose of these searches was to find literature which represented the extent of academic work on the subject in recent years.

Purpose Statement

The purpose of this review was to discover primary sources in various databases such as Medline, Cinahl, Embase, PsychINFO, and PubMed. Secondary sources were also targeted using Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.

Google Cluster Architecture Web Search for a

Google Cluster Architecture

"Web Search for a Planet: The Google Cluster Architecture," IEEE Micro, Mar-Apr., 2003, 22-28.

The central idea of this IEEE Micro article is that Google has designed a search engine which is energy efficient, reliable, and so cost effective that it allows them to provide superior service. The article begins by pointing out that every request to a search engine requires complex computations. When Google gets a request, it reads hundreds of megabytes of data and uses tens of billions of CPU cycles. With thousands of such requests happening every second, Google's infrastructure compares in size to a supercomputer installation! Energy efficiency and price-performance ratio are the most important factors to its design. Easy parallelism is the main priority so that different queries can run on different processors (the overall index is partitioned so that a single query can use multiple processors).

Google's architecture provides reliability by…… [Read More]

Long Run Performance of the Firm After Seasoned Equity Offering

SEO

This literature review looks at the question of SEO return characteristics of large and small firms from several different perspectives. The goal is to determine whether small firms are more effected by the equity offering than larger firms. This section examines the overall evidence for performance issues (including financial anomalies and manager performance) and whether research indicates evidence for a rational or behavioral explanation.

Financial Anomalies

A firm's success in a seasoned equity or initial public offering is determined by many factors that are seemingly disconnected, but which the research shows are interdependent. Among these are the anomalies that cannot adequately be described by rational theories of pricing. As an example, Li (2012) suggests that the cyclical nature of the economy has a far greater effect on certain types of offerings (IPOs and SEOs among them) than was previously thought. Again, the relatively unpredictable nature of firms and investors…… [Read More]

Electronic and Hybrid Engines Be Used Instead of the Petrol Engines

Hybrid engines and electric and other forms of fuel are being tried the world over on account of multiple problems. It is not only for vehicles but also for the industries that use fossil fuels and chemicals for manufacture. The primary problem is the pollution of the air, water and the entire planet on account of fossil fuel use. Not all fossil fuel forms are harmful. For example CNG, compressed natural gas is less harmful. The use of fossil fuel has deadly repercussions on human, animal and plant health. In other words all life on the planet can be at jeopardy. The shocking truth is revealed as follows: John Vidal of the Guardian reported that millions die in Asia on account of vehicle pollution. According to the report he quoted, issued by a consortium of universities working in conjunction…… [Read More]

Search Engines and Online Libraries

Content Creators

There are several people who might fall into the class of people who create intellectual property. First, there are creatives, for example writers, visual artists, or even project managers such as directors or the team who write code for software. All of these are actively involved in the creative process. When they are doing as employees or contractors of a company, then typically the rights flow to the company, as the financier of the project. But someone creating on their own should have full right to distribute as they please, whether or not this involves active digital rights management. There are examples of star acts that have sought to exert greater control over their work, using digital distribution models to bypass record companies. This is an example of a content creator exerting their natural control over how they distribute and control their work…… [Read More]

Ethics and Promoting Your Site

Ethical esearch

Search Engine Optimization -- SEO techniques is the methodology of making a website and its content more relevant for search engines and eventually for the user community who search them through 'keywords' and 'phrases' for getting appropriate results. The entire process includes making strategies to enhance web pages so that they are able to gain a higher ranking in actual search engine results. The ideal scenario is the particular enterprise's website to get listed on the first page of search engine results when the targeted keywords and phrases are searched and for this the enterprise's website needs to be optimised for these terms.

Social Perceptions and Biases

Social Perceptions and Bias

Within any organization there is a dual cognitive and emotional role in making decisions. In the 21st century global environment, this role is accentuated and allows far less time than ever before. Typically, decision making is the result of stimuli, then choosing from alternatives based on past and current knowledge, then making a final choice of an action or group of action. One way of looking at the decision making process is that it is ingrained within the human psychological perspective, which makes it both unique and complex for the individual or organization involved. esearchers Seo and Barrett (2007) present a theory that contrary to the popular belief that emotions (feelings) are dysfunctional in decision making, in fact, research shows that individuals who are able to identify and distinguish among feelings have a greater chance of making successful and discreet decisions by looking critically at their…… [Read More]

Understanding How Databases Work

Searching

All databases comprise of records described by search engines used in searching these records or data. While search engines appear to differ, the underlying principles of database searching and strategies are common. The first principle argues that before an individual begins to search for any information, he/she should develop a search strategy. This involves brainstorming about the keyword to be used (Ullman, 2011). It is imperative to take into account possible synonyms such as automobile and car, alternative spelling like labor and labor, organization and organization, and plurals. The second principle applies to people searching for older materials. This principle requires researchers to consider changes in terminologies. This could be because of developing complex vocabularies and modifying them into appropriate languages.

The Boolean principle stems from the George Boole who focused in writing about a principle designed to elicit better search results through the formulation of precise queries. This…… [Read More]

Google vs. Microsoft (Bing): Search engine wars

Google is not simply a search engine company: it is synonymous with searching the web much like Coca-Cola is synonymous with soda. However, the software giant Microsoft is attempting to outflank Google by introducing a rival search engine called Bing. Microsoft has floundered in the past when it has moved outside of its software 'comfort zone.' Despite becoming an incredibly successful company thanks to Microsoft Windows, it has failed to unseat Apple as the industry leader in the all-important music, smartphone, and tablet markets. Microsoft is desperately seeking to diversify its assets, given that PCs may soon become obsolete, due to the explosion of mobile computing. Google is its primary competitor in the search engine market.

In both cases, there was (or is) a major force in the industry in question and it is to the point where a near-monopoly exists. Google is certainly not alone in the search engine market as there are other ones like Bing and Yahoo. However, Google has a commanding share of the market despite the presence of competitors and Microsoft was and is still very similar. There is one other thing that those two companies have in common and that is that they are both American in terms of their origin and headquarters of operations. This is not a lament or slam on the United States as they are a great ally to the…… [Read More]

Comparing Microsoft Bing and Google Using the Marketing Mix

Google's dominance of the search market globally continues despite the aggressive launch in 2009 of Bing, a new search engine, by Microsoft. To date, Google is still the most preferred search engine globally, with a commanding market share lead (Grensing-Pophal, 2012). Both of these search engines are financed through advertising revenues, with Google's AdWords being the most profitable online advertising platform globally today as well. Microsoft's Bing advertising strategies have gravitated towards paid search and more traditional forms of online business models (Grensing-Pophal, 2012). These have been somewhat successful in raising the profitability of the Online Division of Microsoft, known as one of the least profitable in the entire company (Vance, 2012). Google on the other hand continues to be one of the most consistently profitable businesses in the high technology sector,…… [Read More]

Google Inc

Google is one of the most known search engines available today. Started up in 1999, Google slowly began to gain a high ranking among search engines and ad revenue vehicles. Through an analysis of Porter's five forces, one can begin to understand how Google became one of the most used search engines used today.

The first force to be analyzed is the threat of new entrants to the market. Currently, the threat of new entrants is low as people have already grown comfortable with the search engine choices presently available. Furthermore, Google has demonstrated that it has a strong foothold on the search engine market. In November 2009, Google "enjoyed a 65.6% share of all U.S. searches…[and outside] the United States Google's lead was even larger, exceeding a 90% share of search queries in numerous countries."

The second force that needs to be analyzed is the threat of substitutes. Presently,…… [Read More]

Yahoo! provides the options of searching on the web, in images, in yellow pages, and in products. Google provides the options of searching the web, images, groups, directory, and news. Both engines provide suggestions if there is a chance one misspelled a common word in your search terms. When performing any kind of general search on Yahoo!, for example searching for the terms TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION, the first several "search results" are actually paid ads in disguise.

Nielsen Media esearch was founded in the 1920s by Arthur Nielsen and it focused on assessing the success of advertisements within the consumer markets. During the following decade, the organization commenced to assess the success and popularity of radio programs.

Internet Marketing Basically Internet Marketing

This is because it is quite difficult to gain a customer but extremely easy to lose one, and when the marketer has made a customer, then he must ensure that he maintains a minimum of contact with him so that he may be able to pitch his sales again to an individual who is already a customer better than he would be able to a new customer. The third tip is that the marketer must avoid making exaggerated claims about his product or service even if it may actually be true. This is because the customer is always wary of false claims and would automatically tend to avoid such websites. Another tip is that if a discount and a bonus were to be combined within one particular offer, then it would be so very irresistible that the customer would have no option than to purchase it.

Google and the Mind: Notes

There are about fifty billion webpages indexed by Google. One may, in a number of ways, perceive the above fifty billion pages as signifying, from some standpoint, the joint experiences felt by a substantial share of humans -- a kind of "universal memory".

The algorithm of page rank is extremely effective as it classifies pages to make natural sense to the people who search for anything on search engines. PageRank by Google seems to be miraculously capable of prioritizing individual pages such that a person will be capable of easily relating to them. PageRank has been transforming the way web users browse the Internet. With regard to researching the universal shared memory signified by the Internet, the algorithm of PageRank appears to work effectively for users, nearly as proficiently as if they were seeking coveted information stored within their own brain (20).

SOPA and Pipa Legislation

SOPA & PIPA Legislation

File sharing involving copyright infringement began as peer-to-peer operations, sometimes with the involvement of a central server that acts as a search engine. Recently there has been a rise in file sharing where the infringing content is actually stored on the central server, such as the now-defunct megaupload.com. Consequently, there is a conflict between the rights of content owners and the rights of ordinary users of the internet. The conflict here is that efforts to eliminate sites that enable online infringing may also eliminate legitimate internet activity. In the fall of 2011 the SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) proposals were introduced into the U.S. Congress.

Ineffective Marketing to Prospective Vendor Members

The website does not present an effective message to potential advertisers capable of convincing them to advertise on the website. The middle section of the homepage is intended to appeal to prospective vendors but it is written from the point-of-view of the needs of Vendorland.ca instead of from the perspective of the needs of the prospective vendors. By contrast, the yellowpages.ca website immediately provides a prominent search engine feature that beckons consumers to enter terms of interest.

Meanwhile, the Vendorland.ca homepage does not even provide a basic search box. It requires web users to click links to search for a web search feature. The obvious consumer-oriented ease-of-use layout of yellowpages.ca serves a dual role: it encourages first-time users to try the search engine and it suggests to potential vendors that consumers will use the site to find them. Likewise, the advertisers' page of yellowpages.ca…… [Read More]

E-Commerce Marketing Plan

This marketing plan has been developed for a unique business model that facilitates transactions between people who would like to buy and sell homemade art. Although the website functions much like EBay, the online auction giant, it is targeted at a far narrower niche. Given that the target market represents such a narrow niche, the marketing strategy to promote this site must be creative as well as utilize the latest in E-commerce technologies and design.

The article named ergen County as one in nine counties with higher than average gang presence. The article also talked about law enforcement officials questioning the results of the survey based on the results not adding up to the number of arrests that were gang related. And, another problem of a significant population of illegal immigrants staying isolated from police and being a breeding ground for gangs.

Internet Technology and the Workplace

This double-edged sword of new technology is being increasingly being relied on for capturing knowledge in the organization, serving as a vital catalyst for higher levels of collaboration Condon, 55):

According to Jorge Lopez, industry research chief at Gartner, the focus of it has been to cut costs by automating tasks that can be broken down into discrete processes. But it has achieved all it can in that respect and any further improvements would be marginal. The next frontier for it is the non-routine work that lends itself less readily to automation - and here the talk is of 'augmentation': helping people come to decisions more quickly, and helping support any consequent action.

With knowledge workers, such as managers, who deal with non-routine kinds of work, the idea of productivity is different. As (management guru Peter) Drucker pointed out, you don't pay them by the hour but by results,' says…… [Read More]

Pricing is the largest competitive advantage Dell has, specifically their ability to quickly respond to changes in prices from their own suppliers. Dell's website is tailored to allow for rapid price changes, and together with the custom configuration capability, pricing is the reason why Dell excels against so many competitors.

Columbus (2003) discusses the role of special pricing requests being critical for the long-term profitability of companies that have high inventory turn items and rapid product lifecycles, as Dell does.

In terms of distribution or place, the ability of Dell to create customized PCs through any one of several manufacturing plants is really the 4th P. Of the marketing mix. The Dell manufacturing system acts as a foundation to support the execution of all 4 Ps in marketing, and certainly "place" or distribution is more dictated by the ability of the company to automatically route and fulfill orders from the…… [Read More]

Evidence-Based Group Work How Can I Increase

Evidence-Based Group Work

How can I increase attendance of a support group for at-risk teenage Latino students in a school setting?

Search for Evidence

In order to search for evidence in increasing attendance of a support group for Latino students in a school setting, I went to PubMed as my initial search engine. I chose PubMed because I have found it to be a great starting place for health-care research. Not only does it provide details about relevant articles, but it provides abstracts for most of those articles, as well as the full-text of many articles. Initially my question was how to increase the attendance of a support group for minority students in a school setting, but the amount of available information was overwhelming, so I then narrowed my search to the Latino community. The search terms that I used were "support group," "group therapy," "school setting," "teenage," "Latino," "Spanish,"…… [Read More]

Evidence Admission and Suppression

Admissibility of Evidence at Trial

If the goal for a trial is the search for justice, why should there be rules that limit a juror's ability to render a verdict only to that information gathered in compliance with the Constitution and approved by the judge?

Part of the search for justice is making sure that the evidence admitted at trial satisfies the constitutional criteria distinguishing admissible evidence from inadmissible evidence. In large part, the rules of evidence in a criminal trial are expressly designed to protect the constitutional rights of persons suspected of criminal activity by the police. If there were no such rules, it would be difficult if not impossible to control the ways that police secured evidence on the street. In fact, prior to the modern era of American criminal justice, police routinely arrested suspects without probable cause, deprived them of counsel, food, water, and bathroom facilities, and…… [Read More]

Aristotle on the Web Aristotle

But the view of Aristotle is more critical, rather than seeing the philosopher as a great prognosticator. Aristotle is presented as a great patriarch, occasionally overly venerated, as quite often his word was assumed to be 'gospel' during the heyday of the Catholic Church and scholasticism, although the website makes clear he should still be regarded as a worthy creator of the inklings of the modern scientific method.

The agenda of Philosophy Pages might also seem to be obvious, given the site's title, and its copious and helpful links to specific areas of Aristotelian philosophy, including Aristotle's doctrine of the universals, friendship, and other bibliographic sources. Although all of the data presented, however, is relatively accurate, it is extremely superficial and does not contain the copious amount of direct quotes from the philosopher's works -- far less even then the Encyclopedia page devoted to Aristotle. Also, the site is filled…… [Read More]

E-Business Model

ecommerce business models

With the advent of Internet, we have seen a lot of changes in the communications arena and business practices are no exception. E-commerce has taken business from closed doors of offices and retail shops to the information superhighway, where literally millions of people trade daily. The online business model can be viewed in terms of B2B, B2C and C2C models (business to business, business to consumer and consumer to consumer respectively).

To get an insight into the working of these models, the ways they are similar and different from each other, we take a look at one site representing each of the above-discussed models. For B2B, we have Intel's site - the leading microprocessor manufacturing company. Eddie Bauer, an online shopping store having everyday-use items stands for B2C and lastly, eBay for C2C model as on this site, an ordinary surfer can assume role of both -…… [Read More]

' hile in theory this may seem defensible, in practice it is more questionable to carefully watch every second an employee spends online -- if the employee does a bit of Christmas-shopping online, but is otherwise productive, should this be used against the employee? And cannot such objectionable sites be blocked, without violating employee privacy? hat if the employee uses his or her work email to send one or two brief personal emails -- the time 'theft' is quite minimal, yet so easy to do companies are falling prey to this temptation. And the issues of time theft blurs as employees do more work on their home computers for work -- work is taking over the home and ' private time' already. Yet this also means employees can store secret work-related items that they could store and share, if left unmonitored. Finally, RFID (radio-frequency IDs) in the workplace, which track…… [Read More]

This limits the ability for businesses to make use of telemarketing as an advertising technique. hile most people feel that telemarketers are an annoyance, above all else, telemarketers have also been accused of deceptive practices. This act will make it easier to regulate businesses that use telemarketers. Already, in November 2007, "the FTC announced six settlements and a federal court action against companies that violated the Do Not Call provisions of the Telemarketing Sales Rule, resulting in millions of dollars in civil penalties for rule violations" (FTC Chairman and Commissioners Testify Before Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation on proposed 'Federal Trade Commission Reauthorization Act of 2008'," FTC: Office of Public Affairs, 2008).

Overall, the most potentially significant aspect of the act is its provisions regarding subprime mortgages. The dream of American home ownership for a long time has been taken as a given. However, legislators are beginning to…… [Read More]

Consider what Subway produces. What are some things that would change the demand for your product?

A downturn in the economy might cause consumers to begin to 'brown bag' their lunches rather than to purchase lunch at Subway. However, consumers who used to patronize more 'high end' sandwich shops and restaurants might shift their preference to the less expensive Subway chain. Concerns about the health of fast food might cause consumers to be more apt to patronize Subway, given that Subway offers healthier options than many other chains and specifically promotes the health of its products as part of its marketing strategy.

Project Libra: To Terminate or Not to Terminate

Visit www.itweek.co.uk/News/11329438 to see the string of news stories related to Project Libra. Identify some of the sources of the problems the project faces.

Project Libra exemplifies several attributes of failed projects the most notable of which is the breakdown in project team, Fujitsu Services (ICL) system integrator and enterprise software vendors. Most evident of a filed project management structure is the ballooning size of payments made during the project with literally nothing to show for it.

These are the most significant lessons learned from the failure of Project Libra. First, the British government should have had a series of measurable goals and objectives in place first and required monthly updates on project status and delays. This would have drastically reduced the confusion over just what the status of the project was, as is evident from background readings on this…… [Read More]

Tourette's in Children

Tourette Syndrome in Children

hat is Tourette Syndrome?

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is an inherited neurological disorder generally associated with tics. Tics are defined as either involuntary body movements, or involuntary vocal sounds that are usually repetitive. The occurrence of TS in children is about 1 of every 2000 children, with an increased occurrence in boys as opposed to girls. The syndrome itself is named for the French neurologist Dr. George Gilles de la Tourette, who diagnosed the first patient with the illness in 1885.

How do you know if you have it? (Symptoms and Diagnosis)

Diagnosis specifics vary from one source of information to the next. Some publications, such as the website for the Jim Eisenreich Foundation for Children, suggest waiting until the tics are present for at least one year, and that multiple tics must be shown - vocal and physical (though not at the same time). Other sites…… [Read More]

It has a significant impact on the Japanese market, lowering the purchasing power of existing and potential customers.
