Week #7 - Networks

In our class discussion of networks, I immediately made several connections to my Entrepreneurship Project Idea. Seeing as Twitter is an Internet based concept, networks instantly became a relevant topic to my project. Just like any other website out there, Twitter has its own IP address, domain name, and packet of information sent out daily that makes it unique from other websites.

A combination of the web protocols http and https are also important aspects of Twitter. In terms of security and safety with networks, https is an important protocol that reminds users that there information is being kept safe. This might appear on a page which one would be entering personal information like their credit card number, their password, or even their social security number. For my idea of Twitter App World, for applications that would charge a small price, https would be essential to making Twitter-users feel that there credit card information remains safe. I noticed https is even used for a second when one logs into their account therefore, it would be a vital piece to creating the App World website.

In our previous discussion to networks, the importance of digital color and hexadecimal color was reviewed. This is yet another key factor of creating the new Twitter App World website and is even important for the Twitter website (or any website for that matter!). When one writes code to create a website, the hexadecimal color must be written correctly and understood to create the color one wishes to portray. Seeing as Twitter is such a customizable site, digital color and graphics are a fun way to do this.
