Internet Most Popular Information Source: poll

(Reuters) - The Internet is by far the most popular source of information and the preferred choice for news ahead of television, newspapers and radio, according to a new poll in the United States.

But just a small fraction of U.S. adults considered social websites such as Facebook and MySpace as a good source of news and even fewer would opt for Twitter.

More than half of the people questioned in the Zogby Interactive survey said they would select the Internet if they had to choose only one source of news, followed by 21 percent for television and 10 percent for both newspapers and radio.

Only 10 percent described social websites as an important for news, and despite the media buzz about Twitter, only 4 percent would go to it for information.

The Internet was also selected as the most reliable source of news by nearly 40 percent of adults, compared to 17 percent who opted for television and 16 percent who selected newspapers and 13 percent for listened to the radio.

"The poll reinforces the idea that efforts by established newspapers, television and radio news outlets to push their consumers to their respective websites is working," Zogby said in a statement.

Almost half of 3,030 adults questioned in the online survey said national newspaper websites were important to them, followed by 43 percent who preferred television websites.

Blogs were less of a necessity than websites with only 28 percent of those polled saying blogs that shared their political viewpoint were important.

"That the websites of traditional news outlets are seen by a wide margin as more important than blog sites - most of which are repositories of opinion devoid of actual reportage - could be seen as an encouraging development for the media at large," Zogby added.

When asked to peer into the future, an overwhelming 82 percent said the Internet would be the main source of information in five years time, compared to 13 for television and 0.5 percent chose newspapers.

About 84 percent of American have access to the Internet, according to industry studies.

Network Analysis

Hello.. follows Buanihuko will share a way of allowing you to experiment with GRASS 6.4 tools for network analysis.

The usual questions you may ask about a network (a collection of connected lines and nodes) are the following:

1. What is the shortest path between two points (nodes?)
2. Can you compute equidistant zones along the network given some nodes?
3. Can you divide the network into sub-networks of nearest elements to given nodes?
4. What is the minimum network connecting a set of given nodes (Steiner trees)?
5. What is the shortest route passing from all the given points only once (travelling salesman problem)? 

In the real world the above questions should be asked in terms of costs of passing through links and nodes. For instance, in terms of travelling time, the same distance can have different costs according to road type; or in a water facility system it can be affected by pipes diameter or leakages. In this tutorial you can try to use the network analysis tools with various cost attributes along the network.

The aim of the exercise is to set up a GIS network to support the fire brigade interventions in the area of North Carolina. Here follows the steps of this process and the tools used:

1. Set up of network analysis: geometry and the appropriate database tables will be connected (v.net);
2. Search for the shortest path between fire stations and the road network in order to prepare a displacement map. Computation of the shortest path between some fire stations (v.net.path);
3. Zone the area according to the distance from fire stations to create a map of forecasted intervention time (v.net.iso);
4. Allocate across the network each fire station to a competence area according to the distance from the roads (v.net.alloc);
5. Find the shortest subnetwork linking all the fire stations in order to connect them with a high speed cable running along the streets. (v.net.steiner);
6. Find the shortest path connecting all the fire stations in order to optimise the route of suppliers and inspectors (v.net.salesman).

You need to do the set up of the data first, then the different modules can be done in any order.

Microsoft Windows Users

  Hello Friend, at this time will Buanihuko opportunity to share a little bit about Microsoft Windows users. Many software programs, games, and utilities have an AutoPlay feature that will automatically start the setup screen for the software program when the CD is placed in the computer. If your program, game, or utility contains this feature, run the installation through the screen that appears after inserting the disc.

If you are installing a program, game, or utility that does not contain this feature or you are installing a program from a floppy diskette, follow the steps below.

1.      Open My Computer.

2.   Within the My Computer window, open the drive that contains the installation files. For example, if the files are on a floppy diskette, open the A: drive. If they're on a CD or DVD open the D: drive or the letter of the disc drive.

3.      Within the drive that contains your files, locate either a setup or install file.Double-clicking on this file should start the installation for the program, game, or utility. If you see multiple setups or install files, try to locate the Application file or double-click each of setup or install files until you find the file that starts the installation. Many times the icons associated with the installation files have the same name.

An alternate method of starting the installation in Microsoft Windows

1.      Click Start and Run.

2.     In the Run Window, type x:\setup or x:\install where x is the letter of the drive you want to start the installation from. For example, if you are attempting to install a program from the floppy disk drive you would type a:\setup or a:\install. Usually with a CD or DVD it would be d:\setup but may be a different drive letter depending on your computer configuration.

So that can make Buanihuko share buddy, may be useful and if you deign to give his comments. Sorry if there are any words ...
