Learning Journal Entry # 4

In this last mod i learned alot of very interesting things, i took alot of interest to the topics in this mod because i really enjoy social bookmarking.  I am big on music and want to have a career with music and social bookmarking helps me stay up to date on all my music news.  The big things that i learned in this mod was everything about e-mail involving clients, servers and protocols i never knew about.  I learned the step by step process of how a e-mail is sent all over the world as well as the many different uses of a e-mail.  What i found most interesting was listserv or mailing lists i did not know how complex of a system it is or how usefull it can all be millions of people all over the world subscribe to mailling lists, i even belong to a couple, alot of usefull information can be sent to you. 

The other part of this mod involves social media and social bookmarking which both play a big part in my life i enjoy ever aspect of media and are very good at it, and through out my life have already learned and know alot of things but i did still learn some interesting info that i did not have no clue about.  I gained most knowledge with the info regarding blogging untill this semester of school i have never blogged, i microblog everyday but never blogged so learning key facts about it and to fully understanding everything it is used for from political figures to corporations, teaches all the way to the average joe, bloggs can be very interesting and can give you alot of valuable info.
