Finally remembered what I was going to write! Yeah me!

The internet is very big.  And it’s always expanding.  Something interesting that didn’t make the news a lot:

There was going to be some pictures a friend does for me (I can’t draw) but the computer is being a pain.  It stinks having a self-aware computer sometimes.  XD Oh well.

Types of Interactions

*E-mails, instant messaging/text messages are excluded.  These are just bits of data being sent from Point A to Point B.*

These are a basic list of interactions between websites, concentrated orbs of data.

1. Stand Alone- A website with no interactions with other sites.  Probably the largest group of websites today.

2.  Merging- Any two+ sites with heavy interaction between them or a newly made merged site.  Think Google and Youtube.

3. Single Group- Any interactions between only two sites.

4. Orbiting Sites- Sites that are only connected to a main (Usually larger) site. So the main site may have 5 interactions but those 5 are only connected to the larger site.

5. Constellation- A step above orbiting, it’s when all sites are connected together (directly/indirectly) in some way.  Affliations between sites may cause this.

6. Elongated- When one person has/owns multiple sites. Example would be a blog + myspace page + a site on a topic.

7. Chain sites- Sounds like it is.  A bunch of sites that are chained together, so it’s indirectly connected with others.

I use those terms while talking about the net a lot.  Just some thoughts on my views of the net.
