Meta tags: Title: Maldives, dreamier than any other island. Description: Maldives, a must see island in a life time. Enjoy adventures you never experienced before and be in the arms of nature, like you always wanted to. Keywords : Maldives, tourism in Maldives, island, beach activities, dream, snorkeling, sunset, once a life time experience. From the presentation, it is the basic idea of how this country portal website will look like. the model from Sims is an animation model. what i am proposing is that using this human model, the servers can control this human model to visit the different categories of information available on the website. Just like the redzee.com where you can see the cute and funny red zebra moving, this will attract the attention of the servers. however for this country portal website, a Sims human model will be use. this gives the feeling of more like a game that the servers are experiencing rather than normal country portals we see everyday.. there are several categories that will be covered in the website, such as shopping, beach activities, cuisines, and festivals. i have some interesting ideas to promote Maldives. take for an example: under the beach activities, offerings such as games of snorkeling related, are available for the servers. what i would like to propose is creating a game relating to beach activities, or games inserting background of maldives underwater world..giving the servers an idea of how wonderful it is to be able to experience such adventure. besides that, servers can access to photos regarding Maldives through Flickr. in this case, there will be more photos for the servers to look rather than inserting a photo album in the country portal website. on top of that, placing videos regarding tourists that have been to Maldives before, through this videos, telling the servers how their marvellous their vacations are in Maldives. another offering is that insert links of forums and blogs related to Maldives. it is like an open space for servers to share their experiences and feelings of Maldives. if you dont understand this idea of mine, i am willing to explain it in person. thank you.

comparison between cloud computing and open source

i think that cloud computing and open source are 2 different technologies. first of all, cloud computing as we all know is a platform for servers to place their application on a central web host. servers can store as much data as they want in this cloud. websites in this cloud such as bloggers..flickr.people can store as much things they want. but, for open source, the main difference between them is that open source is a method for a software to develop or to be customized by users of this software. this means that we are talking about a storage platform (cloud computing) and a method for customization (open source).

Today, together with 6 other group members, we discuss about digital marketing tools Hilton Hotels used to market its hotel. based on what we learnt from the previous classes, we learn that Hilton Hotels is a great user of the website marketing. Based o what we have learn from the previous lessons, we get to know how the hotel promote and increase its publicity through website marketing. this has broaden my knowledge in marketing. For i haven come across such methods.

As for suggestions for the Hilton Hotel to improve in its marketing strategies, i would recommend that more advertisement showing the hotels images will help to leave a good impression of the hotels to web users. besides that, attractive wordings would be useful to help attract people attention.

E commerce i have found a website to purchase the bag i wanted to buy, Longcham brand. the first website is Magnums.net. the method in paying is through master card, visa, paypal and american express. in order for the company to ship the bag to me, i am require to fill in the bill form, stating my name, address, email adress etc. this website uses secure sockets layer (SSL) technology, most commonly used data encryption coding system to secure their ecommerce transaction. the security system that amazon used is a A to Z guarantee protection system. thsi system not only secure the card number that one is going to enter in but also secure the period of time the product going to reach to the customer.the bag that i intended to purchase is available in USA, Europe, Canada and Australia and not forgetting Switzerland, however, it cannot be ship to Malaysia. the shipping fees is 35 USD as compared wtih amazon, it is $USD29.90. . Magnums is a store located in USA, Washington which provide online shopping. however, it does not provide handphone online shopping. but, they do provide telephone service, as one can call up the supply store to shop for goods in the store. for amazon, the shipping rates depends on the customer, in the sense that if teh customer wants the product to reach faster, they are required to pay more. as for magnums, the shipping period of time depends on the place they have to ship to.amazon paying method dose not accept international wire transfer, paypal and smart cards, however, they do accept american express, diners club,discover, JBC, mastercard, eurocard visa etc. in my opinion, i think that magnums target market is more specific than amazon. this can be seen from the products that magnum sell on their website. magnums tend to target on those upper class online shoppers as the brand of the products such as longchamp, heidi klum, polo ralph lauren, versace etc. as for amazon, the target market is wider than magnums, as the product range that they provide is far more than magnums.

here is the link for both of the website: http://www.magnums.net/ http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_hp_6_4?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=longchamp+bags&x=0&y=0&sprefix=long
