Now, can you find an RSS button? You might need to scroll down the page, and you will need to look carefully if it is a 'busy' page. Which of your favourite sites provide an RSS feed? Which ones don't? Can you think why not? (SCICU e-Portfolio)
All 5 sites I visited can not provide feed so I will try soon if I found new sites. I wonder why not.

Summary
More people use the online communities, more considerations in required in the society. Using online communities, people can collect great amount of information widely using all over the world. On the other hand, online communities could cause negative effects for face-to face communication which people used to do. Because internet can be used by anyone anywhere anytime without any limits, it has great power and efficient. Depend on people's way of using, this huge potential could be used both positively and negatively in individual small level to socialized large level.
Reaction
We have to protect the right for expression in our lives so people should not control whatever they express. However, internet has huge information we can do anything without reveal who I am. In my opinion, the most serious problem is that information or expression exist without responsibility in internet so it could be unreliable and dangerous.

We can use dictionary or encyclopedia in PC. Using those information help us get wider and deeper information. We can share them in network.
3. How can the technology be used to network professionally and connect users to learning resources?
Using some network as we use in SC class, attending chat room, we can know specific information.
4. What learned skills and understandings may promote your development as an effective learner in the digital age?
To use a lot of effective sites quickly, it is very useful to make tab keys for research.

Six degrees of separation is way of dividing everybody on this planet into six other people. There are six billion nodes in the world but people need only six links from each.
2. How is the fabric of society today different from pre-internet society? p. 31
The net works behind society and the online universe were fundamentally different(31).
People can move quickly in the web thanks of search engine but before this, people had to click a lot of times to search something.
3. How many more links separate any pair of web pages compared to people in society? What can explain the difference? p. 34
Nineteen degrees may appear to be. But there is slight difference between six and nineteen because the internet network had much larger number of routers.
4. So far, what ranges of separation have network scientists discovered in different kinds of networks? p. 34
Scientists in different fields of science are separated by four to six coauthorship links.
5. What does research suggest about the fundamentals of networks? p.34-35
Networks require only one link per node to form a giant cluster and the number of links is small in the network.
6. What is your estimate of your personal number of connections to society? What connections are your strongest?
