GIS - geographic information system
as per blog spam Renee Hewett American Sentinel University’s GIS degree courses.
A geographic information system is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present all types of geographical data. The acronym GIS is sometimes used for geographical information science or geospatial information studies to refer to the academic discipline or career of working with geographic information systems. In the simplest terms, GIS is the merging of cartography, statistical analysis, and database technology.
The GIS courses offered by the American Sentinel University are related to the study of Geographic Information Systems.
In the world of Social Networking and mobile devices Location (and/or Geo Tagging) is possible.

What are people saying about you online?
As a continuation of my study on Internet use and behavior the notion that there are things being posted about you or your company that you do not wish to be seen.
How you can tell that this is happening and what you can do to prevent or control it.
At a recent dinner party a conversation on whether you should incorporate Social Media in your companies business was raised. The reasons why you would want to do this are many fold. The promoters of the various platforms see this as a new area that going forward is a big business opportunity for themselves and users of their services. The question is: Is there any real merit in doing so?
The fact that there are more and more people on-line and the use of Social Media is maybe at its peak are good reasons to use Facebook, Twitter and Google + to "reach out" to your customer base.
However, there are downsides to this and the future of Social Media is by no means certain. Social Media may be a passing fad and the users of such may soon tire of it or get fed up with the loss of privacy that they perceive is happening. The fact that their personal data is being used in a manner that they have not agreed to or have no control over and the fact that there are things being said that they would rather not have others read.

This is a topic that is great interest to me. The mechanisms and techniques behind how this is all done. I am not making a political statement about the rights and wrongs of all this.

What HideMyAss say about themselves:
The visit that prompted this post was one made to my page on Joshua Sham, a person that I have identified as a shill for OneWorldDataRecovery - if it were the intention that the visitor did not want me to know that they had visited and what pages they had accessed then they achieved the exact opposite.
I regularly check my Google analytics reports and my server logs and the page reference that turned up in the GA report does not exist (obviously) on my server. This then prompted the search of the server log that then reveals the Hide My Ass access was to the page techwatch.ca/sham.html
In Google Analytics a visit to a specific webpage is obscured in the Analytics report by the substitution of a non-existent page. You will only be able to detect the visit if you check for visits to such pages that don't exist. Then, by cross referencing your server log you can see what actual pages were accessed and from where. While this is not as straight forward as just looking in Google Analytics for visits from specific users or to obtain browsing data about them, the use of HideMyAss does not stop the webmaster from determining that a visit had been made and from whom.
As far as the claim by HideMyAss that you can surf the Web anonymously, this is only partially true. The use of HideMyAss only makes the determination of the origin of the visit a little more complex for the Webmaster.
