Finished App

So my app is under review and I can not view it while it is under review. I took the two screen shots of what is on the page but it does have 5 sections, Llamas, Pictures, Videos, Social links, and Contact. I will take the screen shots on the other pages when available.





I also made a logo as my splash screen

The app has some facts about llamas under the llama page. Under the photo page it has some photos. Under videos it has some of the best videos you will ever see. Under Social links you can access an array of different social sites that have to do with llamas. Finally under contact you can get directions to the nearest llama farm, access the ilovellamas.com, call the nearest llama farm or email me! It was tones of fun to make and that's all.

My App dawgs!

I am building a app that will educate the masses with the priceless knowledge of Llamas. The content that you will be reading through your desolate little eye balls will be of great stature. People from near and far will want to download this app to there devices for the shear satisfaction of knowing they can be total hipster about llamas with other people.

"What app is that your on?"
"Ow you have never heard of it" HIPSTER!

My specific users would be any soul looking to widely increase there knowledge of awesome yet pointless information. It may not be something as important as knowing simple subtraction but its way better than the app Gurgle, you have never heard of it.

How will I keep my user base? Please, this isn't the top 40 where songs come and go, this is special. This app is something that people will charish with the lives of small children. Don't bother with this "How are you going to keep and grow your user base?" that will never be a problem with this app.

How will I get my apps to my customers? Well I will click the publish button. This is like the Super Bowl, or the Royal Wedding. Their is no need for advertisement, people will feel it. The world will stop for a split second while every insignificant little person in the world realizes that in there app store, a new app has been born. Time will move in slow motion as you wait for it to download knowing when it is finished, you will have one of the most important things ever created on your unworthy device.

Who will need money when every soul in the world has a unreachable amount of respect for you.

I can feel your anticipation for this app. The sweet falls down your back as you lean close to your computer screen waiting for me to finish the app. You constantly check the app store, I know. All I have to do is get my foundation started for the app and make sure it is perfect.

I will need pictures, that is all. You think that with just using pictures and information that it will be lame...well shame on you. You will beg for forgiveness the day you download it and realize that you lied to the world and to yourself. The day is near, prepare yourselves.

What tis an app?

An app is a application like games, utility's, and educational tools that you can be used on a device. Applications include things that might add effects to your camera, help you find your car, keep track of things, or kill pigs with birds. Apps have been around a long time but really took off with the launch of the iPhone in the summer of 2007. Apple launched the app store so you could get apps on your iPhone. Android phone also have a market place with many of the same apps.

To download an app you will need a mobile device like a iPhone, iPad, Android or even a blackberry (Noobs - talking about you Aimee). With each device is a new operating system for each, and each has its own version of a app store. You have to download the app from the version of the app store your on and then you can play it.

The apps you download can also access data on your phone. Each app you download has a set of policies that will tell you what the app will do on your phone. Some apps will take information from your phone to display the right ads on the app that will apply to your interests. Some apps will need to use your location for things like directions and finding where you need to go and such. Some apps can look at anything from your interests to your phone number and address.

The reason apps collect location data is because it needs to find out where you are. Some reasons are so the app can help you get walking directions to the nearest gas station. Another reason is to find out what you live around so they can have ads that relate to you. Google earth and Google maps are big users of your location for obvious reasons.

Some apps are free for a lot of reasons. Any app is free to get to the largest audience possible but other reasons can differ. One reason is so that they can get you to download it for free, then put ads on the app so they can still make money. Another reason is so that the developer can use the app as a advertisement for something else they are involved with.

Apps have advertisements so that the developers can make money. Developing a app is not free so the developer needs to make money some how. If they didn't have adds they would have to charge money for the app which would drastically reduce the audience downloading the app.

Like I said earlier apps can access your interests and location through your phone so that the ads in a app are specific to you and your interests.

Updates are a great Idea for a app and the user should definably update them. The update can provide security patches for the app and as a bonus updates usually include new levels to a game or new features for that app.

When you go to download an app you might read the reviews to see if its worth your time and bandwidth. You will see positive and negative reviews but some developers will pose as users and post positive reviews. So when you read the reviews just be careful.

Kyles Open Source blog thing woo!

Open source to me is a program that is open to the public, because that's what it is. When something is open source it isn't worked on by just a small group of people controlling it, it is worked on by everyone who wants to. One of the best things about it is that open source programs are free to anyone. Open source also is great for developers because open source software allows you to retain not just the right to use the software you already have, but the ability to continue to use it as your needs change. There is no going out of business and stopping your product from being produced.

For the end-user open source is also a great thing. We as the end users get the software for free to use and change. We can download it, change it, develop it, or just use it as it is. And with developers making open source programs mostly out of acclaim from peers and others, they will continue to create cool software for are benefit.

One open source program I love is Mozilla Firefox. Why? Because it is the internet explorer killer and that makes me happy. I am a web designer and I know the horrors of using IE. To watch all your hard work just not show up is saddening and Firefox fixes that. Most everything with Firefox works when speaking in terms of web development and that's what you want. Firefox is free, open source, and gaining popularity. It is the most popular browser and I expect it to be the most popular open source software. Firefox makes up for around 39% of all browsers in use with Chrome to at 32%. Firefox is cool beans and I hope you think so to, or at least don't use IE...please.

I haz iCloud?

Yes! I haz it! We all do! The cloud services available are amazing and make are life very easy. Cloud computing, to me, is a revolutionary way to make sure we don't lose important information and on top of that It allows us to store are information securely. It is something that in the future will be the bases of computers. No more hard drive failures and losing all your stuff, It will all be on the cloud!

Now you might be like, "Kyle! where da eff is this cloud, I aint touchin it, I aint seeing it, so where it be!?"

Well The cloud is everywhere you are, you can get your information from any devise that had internet access. You information is stored in a large, cold, expensive building somewhere so you don't have to worry about it.



The iCloud service is my favorite only because it is the only one I use, but after doing some research I really am interested in the amazon cloud. It allows you to put any files you want in it for free (up to 5gb ). So if you have any important files (Aimee) that you need to back up (Aimee) then you can! The iCloud service works very similar but it it focused around Apple devices and automatically takes, saves, and pushes all you data to all your devises so everything is in sync.

Week 5 questions yo

What enables hatred as public performance? What other effects come from the combination of the same sources?

Well the ability to have content available to everyone with internet opens the door for more criticism. People have the view that just because they are not in person they can say what ever they want. It creates a public performance to critic someones content but in a more hated and harsh way. This can really create some bad communities. We all remember Rebecca Black - Friday. It was said to be the worst song ever and a small group of people that hated on it grew into over 100 million view, most of which being hate comments. So combination of the haters with all the people that just jump on the bandwagon can cause a lot of damage.

What is user-generated organization?

This is a organization not set up by any specific person or the government but a lot of people that like the same thing all together making content. A great example is the gaming community on youtube. It is a bunch of people putting up there content they created all together making a gaming organization, so a user-generated organization.

What is user-generated distribution?

Basically what I just explained but the distribution of the content that make up the user-generated organization

What is user-generated commentary?

This is the peoples word that make up the user-generated organization that put out the content. It is what there word is and what they tell everyone else.

What is the purpose of media?

It is to spread information and keep freedom of speech alive. Media has changed the world immensely and it has given people the ability to make content that they can display to anyone. That is the simple term but thing about what it can do. It has the bases to make huge organizations and groups, which it has, and even change the way people thing, which it has. Its purpose is definable a lot of different ways but this is the most important to me.

What is … and why do we care about … networked individualism?

Networked Individualism is what you as a content creator are. We are all examples of networked individualism because even with this blog we have created something for everyone to see. We care because this is the root of my thoughts on media, we need to be able to post something as simple as this blog to be able to create organizations and groups. This is what starts everything.

Conclusion

So after my research I think that in the future sites like Facebook and Google+ will become the main social networking sites. Facebook is growing fast and has a lot to offer the web but with there privacy problems and constant changing that will make people go to Google+. Twitter will become the main place that people go to get things like news updates and to see what there favorite celebrity is up to. Myspace will eventually die out with the exception of the few hardcore fans. Facebook has more than 800 Million members and that number will soon hit 1 billion.

As you can see Twitter has more that 120 million accounts and that is also growing.

The world is becoming a completely online place and with the way people are always connected now it's only a matter of time before are cars are all connected to each other to avoid accidents and such.

My 2 questions - due OCT 16

How many internet users have searched for information about themselves?

57% of adults search themselves online to find out what they can find. That number is up 10% in the last 4 years. I also think younger people do this more often just because its a fun thing to do. When I was younger i didn't just search it I put my name .com and .net and a lot of other things just because I was curious.

Is being “findable and knowable” a good thing? Why?

I think being findable online is a good thing but only to some people. For me it would be a great thing because I want to have clients and be known but for someone like Ali Atwa you want to stay off the grid.

So many differences!

Well I have never been a part of Google+ but I have seen a lot of videos on it. MySpace was the first social site I was on like most people and Facebook then took over. Twitter is very different from the other three in obvious reasons. If you have ever used Twitter you know its like a message board for people your interested in. But on the other three it is everything, picture albums, music pages, etc. The features are basically the same for everyone but Twitter give or take a few features.

Functionality and usability, I think, go together with this. One of the biggest goals of the company that run these sites it to make it function right and very easy to use for everyone because they want as many members as possible.

The population and demographics are pretty easy to see with these sites. Facebook has a larger age demographic because you know your little cousin is on it and so is your grandma. They also have the largest population at 800 million. Twitter and Google+ have a large population but only in younger people. The fact that Google+ is new and twitter is just a younger person thing makes me thing that. Finally MySpace has a smaller population but there population is younger people that don't enjoy Facebook.

I really don't know with MySpace and Google+ because I haven't been on Google+ to see ads but I know that MySpace has them. A huge thing with businesses now is Facebook. 95% of all businesses have a Facebook page and that number is growing. Facebook also has a controversial way with ads because of there privacy problems. Twitter does ads but doesn't have a huge impact on business because no one wants' to follow Johns Tire Shop and Lube on twitter.

MySpace did have a impact on society and pop culture but now that has passed. It is at Facebook now and if you don't have a Facebook nowadays your a weird person to most people. Everyone these days just assum everyone else has a Facebook. With younger people twitter is like that and Google+ is getting more and more popular.

With government and politics we are going to talk about Facebook and Twitter because that's all that really matters in this category. When people want to organize a get together, a riot, a protest or anything they use Facebook and Twitter because its the easiest way to reach people.

They all have a large impact on free speech because you can literally say anything you want at anytime. But privacy is a different thing. Now you can change your settings on privacy but Facebook has had a lot of problems with privacy and people leave Facebook because of it.

That's all, bye.

My Perry the platypus background

I just got done making this for my computer so I thought I would share it!

This is a blog posting

So I am making this post because we have to. This will be filled will absolutely no creative content and the level of spontaneous action is zero. Their will be no exciting punctuation. I will include no pictures, no large fonts, nor any colors of any kind. If you are her for fun then please exit because their will be non of that here. This will be dry, boring, and have a slight smell of old coffee. The grammer will be mediocre and things will have no proper ending or beginning cheese.

Grammer test results :)
