How vast really is the Web? Do boundaries exist and if they do, will we ever know these limits? The answers to these questions are quite uncertain, if not completely unthinkable, for the Web is a world composed of millions and millions of information. Hence, with this huge amount of randomly uploaded data, the one thing that Web users should strive for is organization. Website architecture is a term that can be used to refer to the designing and planning of websites in order to organize its content, to enhance its usability, and to accelerate its effectiveness in terms of its place in the World Wide Web.

Did you know that “www” (pronounced as “double you double you double you”) is the longest possible three-letter acronym to pronounce in English. With nine syllables, it would not be impossible to imagine that some Web users might find the acronym a bit tricky to pronounce when used in everyday conversations. Fortunately, there are shorter pronunciations for such people like “triple double you”, “dub dub dub”, or “wuh wuh wuh”. Also, the World Wide Web has its own Mandarin Chinese version and is translated to wàn wéi wǎng (万维网). It literally means “ten-thousand dimensional net” and is quite a fitting definition for something as vast and powerful as the Web.

Have you ever tried to picture how the Web was exactly created? Now, have you tried to imagine how a genius of a man had, one day, conceived of a plan to produce a tool which can effectively allow information sharing and updating? If not, then I guess it would be good for you to trace back the history of the Web to the ingenuity and creativity of Sir Tim Berners-Lee.
The idea behind the Web was rooted on the concept of hypertext and it was born out of the vision of Berners-Lee to combine hypertext with the Internet. Together with Robert Cailliau, they had successfully launched on December 25, 1990 the first communication between an HTTP client and server through the Internet.

We all know how powerful the realm of the Web is and how one can get lost in the vastness of its many potentials and harms. When a group of people realized that it is time to safeguard the Web’s capacity through certain standards, an organization was created in order to promote web technologies and common guidelines for everyone using the Web. Founded by Web pioneer Tim Berners-Lee in 1994, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international consortium with a mission to “To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web.” With organizations like W3C, we can be assured that the Web will constantly be improved for the advancement of society.

For people who own or are even thinking of putting up a social networking site, be warned. Thanks to their growing popularity, they are the next target of viruses being set loose. Much of this is because of the high traffic and attention that they are getting and apparently, the mischievous people of the web want a piece of the attention.
Security of their sites should have been done in the first place. While many would wait for their business to boom before enhancing their site, it would be best to take the initiative in advance. It is wise to be ahead rather than getting to the top and falling due to one minor glitch.

As far as network security is concerned, much of it will depend on how well you value imposing safety precautions each time you log on to the web. Whenever you log on, do remember that you have a lot to consider such as intrusions and hacking done by anyone logged on to the web.
There is no reward in hacking a computer. People just love to give problems and showcase their wisdom. But while they are not directed towards putting their special talent to good use yet, it would be wise to be safe from them rather than falling prey and being a victim as well.
