Assignment 2

1.
Wikipedia is a very useful tool. I use it a lot when doing my reports. It provides different language version for user to search. For this assignment, I search for “Pittsburgh Steelers”. In Taiwan, we don’t play football and don’t have any football team. I have no idea about the rule and the background. But when I watched the super bowl, it was so exciting! So I search for Steelers to get more information. The Pittsburgh Steelers are a professional American football team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They are currently a member of the North Division of the American Football Conference (AFC) in the National Football League (NFL). Stealers won the super bowl six times, which is more than any other AFC or NFC team. One thing is very interesting that I found in the page. In 1943 season Steelers merged with the Philadelphia Eagles and formed the "Steagles"; the team's colors at that time were green and white as a result of wearing Eagles uniforms. That is an interesting history. Through this page, I learn more about Steelers, it is a great team. Maybe I can say I am lucky, because I study in PA!

Sudokube

The Sudoko Cube is a variation on a Rubik's Cube in which the faces have numbers one to nine on the sides instead of colours. The aim is to solve Sudoku puzzles on one ore more of the sides. The toy was created in 2006 by Jay Horowitz. The Sudoku Cube is more complicated than the Rubik's Cube. In a standard Rubik's Cube, the player must match up colours on each side of the cube. In the Sudoku cube, the player must place the numbers one to nine on each side with no repetition. This article is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. It uses material from the Wikipedia article "Sudokube". This entry is a fragment of a larger work. Link may die if entry is finally removed or merged.

In fact, I don’t think this article has any problem. Maybe it did not meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The format has something wrong or the content is not complete. Need more information to provide this article.

Web 2.0 is more interactive than Web 1.0. And combine the technologies of user-created content, social networking, and publishing. The concepts are “interact” and “share”. For example, blog’s content is create by user instead of the website provide all the information.

Compare with two websites. The current one adds more functions and links. The icon is more pretty and shipshape. And the arrangement is better. They put all the categories on the left that will be easier for user to use. And for the search function, the current one provides different ways to search. Such as images and videos. In general old one is too simple and the current one has more function and better arrangement.
