For the people who haven’t heard anything about this film, The Day after Tomorrow is a film by Roland Emmerich about the alarming...

III) The Official Website by Fox The welcoming message on the official Fox website The Day After Tomorrow leaves no doubt about it, “The Day after Tomorrow is here!” This website, also known as www.thedayaftertomorrow.com was especially created for the film The Day after Tomorrow by 20th Century Fox. The message is accompanied by a picture that must look familiar to people, who have heard or seen anything about the film. It is a picture of the Statue of Liberty being swallowed up by the sea, but holding its torch held firmly above the water, as though it tries to say, “no matter what...

Blogs and Journalism Need Each Other As the title suggest, in his article Blogs and Journalism Need Each Other Lasica voices his opinion that ‘blogs and journalism need each other’ (Lasica 70). According to him many journalists are needlessly critical of people who act as journalists on their blogs. Instead, Lasica believes that weblogs aren’t really competing with or trying to replace the work of professional journalists. Rather, they can complement it and offer a fresh angle on the news. In other words, bloggers and professional journalists can learn from each other (Lasica...

With more people and products we can achieve a lot of more in the world. An axample is a filmfestival where i have to look for films that are good for the programme of the festival. I first should look for data about the films and distributors that have the movies that i'm looking for. Every festival has a databank with connections that they have gathered over the years. The network... (more) http://rg2peters.blogdrive.com/comments?id=12 http://rg2peters.blogdrive.com/archive/11.html Mon, 31 May 2004 17:59:41 GMT Tybout, A. and Carpenter, G. Creating and Managing Brands In their article Creating and Managing Brands, Tybout and Carpenter try to describe what a brand is and how brands are created and maintained. According to them, ‘for a brand to be successful, it’s very important that the associations that can be attached to a product become part of buyer’s lives’ (Tybout and Carpenter 77). In other words, every (marketing) decision that is made will have an influence on the success of a brand and the way it is perceived. Tybout and Carpenter mention three types of brands, respectively functional,...

Overall, I want to find out “what an Online (film) Magazine has to offer and if it can, and really, offers more than a printed Magazine”. And if possible, I also want to find out “in what way the Internet challenges people to do something with an advertised film on the Internet.” Motivation My initial plan was to pick a film and compare the...

Not surprisingly, in his article What is P2P… And What isn’t?, Shirky talks about p2p. According to him, p2p involves Internet-connected PCs on the edges of the Internet. In other words, nowadays people increasingly make use of previously untapped resources on ordinary computers that operate outside the DNS System (Shirky 1). Shirky and many others believe that p2p can have a lot of benefits. For instance, it encourages decentralisation and it is designed to handle unpredictability (Shirky 3). Because there still isn’t a clear definition for p2p,... (more) http://rg2peters.blogdrive.com/comments?id=9 http://rg2peters.blogdrive.com/archive/8.html Mon, 17 May 2004 17:34:06 GMT Benkler, Y. From Consumers to Users. In his article From consumers to Users, Benkler talks about the importance of regulatory choices that occur at the physical infrastructure layer, the logical layer and the content layer (of the Internet) in today’s information society. Benkler believes that some regulation is necessary, to ensure that different kinds of resources, or commons, are available to all and that everybody is allowed to participate and to expressive themselves (Benkler 568). In other words, the wrong choices can have very negative consequences and Benkler fears that regulatory...

According to Küng-Shankleman an organisation’s culture consists of a set of basic assumptions that are shared by all its members. These cultural assumptions enable an organisation to form a strategy and react appropriately to changing situations. Furthermore, Küng-Shankleman believes that national cultural processes have an influence on an organisation and that the cultural assumptions can often be traced back to the founder (Küng-Shankleman 14). My question here is “Are these assumptions always clear for everyone?” It seems like everyone... (more) http://rg2peters.blogdrive.com/comments?id=6
