With 18 percent market share to 74 for IE by Net Application stats, Mozilla is surely a blast. And now, major websites just have to support FireFox. Apple’s safari which is available now in Windows too is third in rank with 6 percent share. Next contender is Opera saying that the browser is the single most significant piece of software made nowadays which badly needs innovation if you intend to extend the reach of the web. Having a lot of competitors and a richer web is surfacing, Microsoft knows the stakes are indeed high. And FireFox is becoming fiercer as it heightens its profile. There will be a Gran Paradiso, a 24-hour download record with FireFoz 3 set by Mozilla.

The ‘do not call’ list is a list of phone numbers in the United States that telemarketers are not allowed to call. This is maintained by the Federal Trade Commission and consumers can contact the agency to register their numbers. When telemarketers call a number that is included in the list, they are fined. However if a consumer has a pre-existing relationship between a political organization, charity, surveyor or company, these calls are allowed although rules must be followed. The registration is effective usually three months after you apply. After this, telemarketers can call to take surveys or donations but they can never sell.

This allows news to be developed by those with interest and expertise on a specific topic. Also, the blog format allows readers to add more information and corrections. The Blogosphere is comparable to an ecosystem where one member interacts with the whole or a coffee house where people share stories and news. The blogosphere has been a great innovation to internet technology and we could expect great improvements in internet communication in the future.

An electronic mailing list works the same as their traditional versions. The only difference is that it’s faster and more convenient to do it online than snail mail. With the mailing list, you basically have a list of e-mail addresses of people who subscribe to a mailing distribution about a particular topic such as job hunting, a favorite band, a hobby, etc. These e-mail addresses are put under one e-mail address so that if you need to send an e-mail (regarding an announcement, replies, questions etc.) all you have to do is type that one particular e-mail address. Of course, since this is a community of sorts, there are rules that subscribers need to follow and there is also an administrator who keeps tabs on the posts.

Discussion boards, which can be called by many other names (good for it) such as discussion discussion forums, discussion groups, online forums, and message boards (whew), refers to online bulletin boards. It’s like a virtual cork board that millions of users (often sharing the same interests) can post announcements and opinions and get replies both negative and positive. One doesn’t have to post and just “lurk” or read the posts (unless stated otherwise in the forum rules) Or you can just read the board. Anyone can make a discussion board by availing of online forum services. There are various forum software available depending on the programming language used.
