Websites are now a days a very important tool for people in private life as well as in business life. To find information as quick as possible, it is the easiest to use the internet and the webpages found. Nowadays people dont used the printed version of a phonebook, they go online and use the website of the phoneprovider and do a quicksearch to find the information required.
There are a variety of different types of sites. Business, Finace, Computing, Careers, Shopping are just a few to be mentioned. Websites can be ineffective or effective, which will translate whether a website is userfriendly or more so confusing to the user. To make a website effective the follwoing aspects should be taken into account while creating the website. The Design, the performance, security and usability. Websites should have a clear and straight forward design with uniform naviagtion so that the user always find his way through the pages without "getting lost" in the www. It is also important not to overload a page with to much information or on the other hand to less information. Webpages should be designed that their performance is accurate and quick. The user does not want to wait a long time for a site to upload just to see e.g. a picture if he wants to get information on his taxreturns. So function and performance is a important aspect to keep in mind, whiles creating a website.

IM - Chats in the work environment
I have worked in the field of marketing at a large frequent flyer program. I was working in the travel partner department. It was ofter neccasary to have conference calls with the different partners to create a new "package" deal, e.g. rent a car with a specific company and if the customer does that we can book into a certain hotel very cheap. In my time being at the company we used more and more IM and chatrooms as it was more partical for some people. It was often difficult do hold conferece calls as some peoples english skills where not as well and they had difficulty understanding people on the phone. Using Chatrooms people had more the opportunity to look up words online and respons accordingly. Also there was always a writen protocoll, therefor writen effidence of what has been talked about, where as it was often difficult to do with the conference calls. IM - chats have lots of nice features to them and I personally think make live in certain work environments easier as well.
Chats/IRC/IM's
It is interesting to find out that there are many different ways of communication via the internet besides email.
I personallly use the internet in private live to chat and IM with my friends form overseas. It is a very handy tool to say in concat with them exchange news. It is for many of us cheaper too, than being on the phone, because most people have internet flatrates. Chats and IM has been growing and more active in my privat live over the last years and I would not like to miss it now. It is also very nice to have the feature of video/audio chating. I get to talk to my five year old nefew in Germany over my msn and he can see me as well as I see him. It is fantasic, because you dont feel you are across the Atlantic Ocean, you feel more like the person is right there. Also it is nice to see impressions on his face when he is telling stories and he is able to show me things he made in Kindergarden, whiles I chat with him. I personally thing the IM's and Chatrooms make the world again, become smaller and smaller.

Why taking a class in "Internet writing?"
Why did I choose to take the class "Internet writing?"
I think now a days it is very important to have a good idea how you write accurate in emails and on the internet. It is part of everybodies daily life to communicate with people over the internet not only for privat reasons but also in business.
Emails and internet postings are now "the first impression" people will get of someone, therfore it is important to leave a very good first impression. I am hoping this course will give me a better idea what common mistakes are and how to avoid them.
