For this task I decided to use Connotea (which is a free online reference management).

  • INSTITUTION: MSNBC
  • SUMMARY: This site discusses the issues regarding a tracking system being used for advertisement purposes on the internet. There are concerns over personal information being accessed and passed on without the individual's acknowledgement. In this article, it mentions how a number of companies in the US are testing the tracking system. Many people have complained and raised issues about their personal information being accessed and sent to others that many companies have decided not to even test the tracking system. The internet is a very broad and powerful tool that it can have a negative impact on an individual if it is used inappropriately.

  • SUMMARY: This site talks about how individuals these days are making money online. Some people earning more money online that they work full-time on the net rather than having a 9-5 job. The site explains how selling an item on the internet is the best way in making money rather than placing simple ads online or completing paid internet surveys.
