STUFFS ON THE NET MOST FILIPINOS DOESN'T KNOW

HTMLs or Hyper Text Markup Language

     Sadly a lot of my friends doesn't even know what this is. Every page you view on your internet browsers are made of HTMLs - set of commands that dictates how a webpages should look or interact when viewed on a browser. It can also include scripts and CSS. Examples of this are the codes you get when embedding applications on a page.

here is an example of an HTML code used for putting hyperlink on a page

WIKIPEDIA could be unreliable and inaccurate

     Wikipedia is a free, web based, collaborative, multilingual encyclopedia project supported by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation. Its 15 million articles (over 3.2 million in English) have been written collaboratively by volunteers around the world, and almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site.

     Note "almost all of its articles can be edited by anyone with access to the site" which means it could "almost" be just as reliable as Yahoo's Ask.

PHOTO SHARING and PHOTO STORAGE

     Yes social networking sites have photo sharing, but do not use this features as storage for your photos, make sure you keep the original copies. This is because this sites tend to change your photo sizes so it would be easier for your browsers to load. A regular digital camera takes a 8 megapixel photos, uploading this, for example on facebook photo albums, would lower it down to 0.4 megapixel, thus reducing the quality of a photo.

ROYALTIES AND COPYRIGHTS

     Make sure you know where you're getting your stuff on the net because some of this may have royalties and/or copyrights, which means sharing this without granted permissions from the copyright owners may give you a lawsuit.

TMI or Too Much Information

     The world wide web is not that safe.

NETIQUETTES

     From Internet - etiquette or Network - etiquette, These are set of guidelines for civility on social interaction on cyberspace, forums, blogs, mails, social networking and so on, some of this guidelines include AVOIDING THE  USE OF ALL CAPS ON YOUR MESSAGE, THIS MAY LOOK TO THE READERS AS IF YOUR SHOUTING, or just the simple "thinking before posting" rule.

SPAMS

     This are useless or redundant message people send on emails or post on forums, or anything useless period. We all know everything we see on the net are saved on some server and keeping all this data use physical resources, and so having all of this internet junks would just add up to the consumption.
