__**Research: Tags and meta name**__
The restaurant in Hong Kong that I like the most is - California Pizza Kitchen, which comes form America. And when I try to look for their meta name, they shows the following: code meta name = "keywords" content = "california pizza kitchen, cpk, pizza, made to order pasta, salads, order online, pick-up, to-go, carry-out, nutrition, locations, menu, cpk asap" code But when I tries to search in Google US, the following is the first result, form Domino's Pizza, Order Pizza Online for Delivery - Dominos.com and their meta name on keywords cover most of their menu. code meta name = "keywords" content = "pizza, pizzas, a pizza, new pizza, new crust, pizza delivery, pizza menu, pizza coupons, order pizza online, dominos, domino's pizza, dominos pizza, domino, dominoes, domin, domi, dominoes pizza, dominos pizza menu, dominos coupons, B.B.Q, bbq, bar b que, bar que, barbecue, barbque, sweet mango habenero, inspired chicken, new chicken, boneless chicken, chicken wings asap" code Seems like to get a better result or more coverage, a company should put all the related info of themselves on the "Keyword" even the short form, not completed typing or even very generic wordings like: Chicken.

__**Research: Checking a restaurant's link**__
Maybe because of the link of Snog is so unique that when I search in Google UK with "Link: www.ifancyasnog.com" the first two result are the company's website and the third to fifth one is a little bit not related to the Frozen Yogurt Industry, which are(according to the searching result): 3rd: @http://themecraft.net/www/ifancyasnog.com - A "Themes and Templates Expert!" according their front page of their website. 4th: @http://london.londinium.com/93141 - A Yellow Page liked Directory for London. 5th: @http://lovefashionbitches.blogspot.com/2010/11/wwwifancyasnogcom-pure-frozen-yogurt.html - A fashion blog

__**Research: Trial on Google Adwords**__

__**What did social media do for the ongoing unrest in the arabic world (try to compare Egypt and Libya**__)?

The success of the revolution in Egypt is because the use of social media network, by using the social networking services, they spread out the news immediately and the followers can understand what is happening within a second after uploaded.

The Libya government blocked the social media networking site so make the spreading of information become more difficult but it doesn’t stop the people from spreading the news or giving their own opinion.

Social media ease the way for the company to promote themselves. Like one of the theme park in Hong Kong - Ocean Park Hong Kong using facebook to update their news, offers and event photos for their costumers. http://www.facebook.com/hkoceanpark
 * __What did social media do to tourism industry, showcase sample.__**

I admit that I am a really active person on using internet.
 * __How active are yourself in Web2.0, what role does it play in your life (private, student)?__**

In my private life I use social networking site to share my thoughts and photos to my parent, relatives and friends. Using those services makes me got a feeling that we are living in a world without boundaries.

From student point of view, using internet can let me do the research easier as internet are 24/7, 365/6 days available, if I found out something useful for my work, I can use the instant messaging service to share my founding to my colleague.

__**AR - Another useful example**__
Normally when consumer buying a new TV, it's so annoying that the people need to do measurement on his/her house, to make sure that the TV fit's the space that they have, but with AR, now doing measurement become an easy job.
