Advancements in ubiquitous computing are allowing users to search and add information to the web for surrounding objects from any location at any time. With more and more information being added to the web, it is becoming hard for users to find the information about an object that surrounds the user at a given context. Current web based search engines are putting local organizations and local objects at a disadvantage in many cases. In recent years, a new era of object hyperlink has evolved which connects physical objects to web based content via graphical machine readable tags or automatic identification technology such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). Users can view the obtained information on the mobile device. However, users today may choose to process the obtained information on more than one computing device based on the activity or task that they are performing. The learning curve for transferring the obtained information to different devices is an addition to the information overload problem. In this thesis, a user centered Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) based object hyperlink solution is proposed. First goal of this thesis is to provide users with the ability to easily collect information from any given object hyperlink location. UHyperlink is designed to provide users an ability to store object hyperlinks from different organizations to a central repository where users can analyze and recapitulate the collected information. UHyperlink is also designed to provide users with more than one object hyperlink where relevant links are presented to the user based on context and user request, reducing the information overload problem. From the experimental setup and evaluation of this thesis, it can be said that it is a novel and interactive approach to object hyperlink which provides users with different results based on user requirement.

This study of radio news stations adds to the field of Twitter research into broadcasters' use of this social media microblogging platform; previous research has predominantly focused on television. This case study, based on a survey with numerous open-ended questions completed in face-to-face interviews, begins to fill in data on how Twitter is being used in major market radio station newsrooms. Limited in scope, this exploratory study used answers from seven members of two radio newsrooms in trying to find out if there were stated goals for tweets; if separate, unique content was being tweeted or was content tied to the stations' on-air product; how tweets seek to increase station listenership and/or increase station website traffic; what were the most frequently tweeted topics; what hyperlinks were included in tweets for internal or external web content; and were tweets personal and/or opinionated, or kept more professional with just factual material. From a strategic management theory standpoint, there is neither a stated plan nor goals sought with these newsrooms' use of Twitter. Unique tweet content includes sending out photos which add visuals to the pictureless world of radio news and live-tweeting of ongoing news events, while complementary content is promotional to push audience members to on-air or website products. There are no analytics in place to try to determine whether the stations' listenership or web traffic increases based on tweets. Promotional teases of upcoming on-air guest interviews or news content and/or web content are the most frequently tweeted topics. Hashtags rather than hyperlinks are more often included in the stations' tweets. News personnel stay away from expressing opinions, or being too personal in tweets, but remain more objective and professional by sticking to facts which is in step with the traditional role of journalists.

<p>This project is focused on the presentation of the Namibia Zero Order Stations, including the descriptions of the 21 stations across the country and to create information site for Directorate of Survey and Mapping in Namibia. The main reason for the implementation of web site is for the distribution of information and data to domestic and international clients. Most of the materials and information used in this project were available in digital format. Some information was collected from Directorate of Survey and Mapping of Namibia, Swedesurvey of Sweden, and Asci of Sweden as well as from the internet and library facilities. As such it was very important to analyse and display geo-spatial data before creating web site. The computer makes it possible to create a link between filed documents, maps, graphic documents and other related information using hyperlinking. Therefore the computer made the world easier to communicate and mapping via internet.</p>
