Living life Vicariously
There are a few qualitative differences from Instant Messaging to chatting in an online 3D environment. Online 3D worlds such as activeworlds.com is much more than just chatting, it's living vicariously. Instead of a a white page with writing and a little box for you to reply in like in IM's you can see the avatar who your chatting with and your surroundings, which takes you away from reality.
It gives people the chance to be someone they want to be or maybe to speculate on situations. One should tread with caution when living in these online worlds as it may appear your chatting to Jen Hawkins secret twin sister but it's reallyits someone like this.
Unfortunatley you can't really tell...
The 3D aspect does make online chatting more fun, being able to customize your avatar and so on, I'm sure some are used to meet online and just socialize, other sites are for getting up to no good online style and some seem innocent and harmless like habbohtel.com but people always turn something good into bad and I'm sure theres a lot of people posing as something else for all the wrong reasons!
Real Life VS Online 
Though I am sure there are much worse people doing much worse things which I won't go into.
The 3D aspect does make some difference. It creates a alternate reality for people to be what or who they want to be. Though it takes much longer to do everything including just chatting to someone online.
From a glance it seems to be the superior version of instant messaging but after using it and seeing the impracticalities the 3D aspect is really not that interesting.
Though I am sure once better technology comes along and avatars are more or less look and move online like real people...
Things may get interesting!

I'm not stupid... I just approach things subjectively!
Well I only just noticed today that everyone seems to have one blog with multiple posts and I couldn't help but notice I had about 8 or 9 Blogs with one blog each. So it's all fixed now! For those who are marking this, things will probably not be in order here...

Search Engines
Search engines rank the stuff they find on the internet by the relevance the website has to the search.
As you type in a keyword to search for the search engine will look for the website most relevant to that keyword.
Websites can be specially designed to optimize important keywords so that the website is more often at the top of the list and therefore more often clicked on.
There is an internet marketing strategy called SEO which stands for Search Engine Optimization. This process involves editing information on the website to make it more relevant to particular key words.
My Favourite search engine like most people would have to be google.com, just for the fact that it is the simplest, the quickest and it produces the most results. Youtube another awesome search engine. Not particularly usefull but lots of fun.
The Scavenger Hunt really showed the importance of google and wicki to me, and ther familiarality I have with them, and the ease at which to use them.

I have been using New Communication Technologies since I was about 12, so that makes it 8 years.
I started using them when I got a computer and the internet. Probably my first experience was using Microsoft Messenger.
Guess it was the in thing when I was a tween-ager, when I was first talking to girls and stuff. (online communication prevents the exchange of 'coodies' or other diseases carried by the opposite sex :0
New Communication Technologies are important to me as after school everyone goes to different parts of the country and world. Online communications such as Facebook ,a free easy way to keep in touch and it allows you to see pictures and becuase it is not live time differences around the world don't matter.
Though they are very superficial and full of posers (people who take photo's just for facebook or myspace). I find it now in my daily routine to chck who's doing what.
Privacy isn't a massive issue for me as I only add people I know and I don't put up my phone number or address and I haven't been bothered by any stalkers yet. Though I can understand how people see it as a breach of privacy as some people leave the privacy settings turned off and let there information go all over the world to anyone.
'perfect examples of social networking'
Unfortubnatley online communication takes away from the personalness of catching up with someone. Much of the time I find that a phone call is more fitting. Some of my more lazy friends will just facebook me because they consider it easier than texting or calling.
Fortunatley it does allow you to contact those friends that you wouldn't otherwise bother calling.
'Hay how ya doing? We have to catch up soon!' (NOT) ;)

new communication technologies. Something as simple as being in the office, but having to throw a message in a bottle to communicate with the next room.
Where with any new communication technology such as the telephone(though that isn't really new) or the internet that situation would have been much simpler. By a phone call, email or chatting on an instance messenger program such as Microsoft Messenger.
This video is just plain funny, and kind of true. I guess it shows communication in general is important to. lol.
