Blog Post #5- March 7th, 2011- "The Orange Bazaar"

A very key and essential component to "The Orange Bazaar," aside from the website itself, is computer forensics, also known as how to keep your customers identity safe as well as the websites. Another significant component to the website would be making sure the software and hardware stays as fast as possible. It is important to keep the customers safe and their identity protected so that they can stay loyal to the website and keep visiting us. The website itself if pretty safe as it is because it is only open to Syracuse University students (a Syracuse University email address is required to access the website) so hopefully there will not be much identity fraud, but you can never be too safe.

Some key points that "The Orange Bazaar" can keep in mind to help its customers are to think of some ways to avoid identity thefts. When customers are checking out after they buy a purchase, we can advise our customers to not use their debit cards, and to only stick to using credit cards. The website will also never ask the customers for their Social Security Number to protect their identity. Because "The Orange Bazaar" is very concerned with keeping our customer's credit safe, we encourage the bartering system between customers. Since Syracuse University students are in close proximity to one another, we encourage people that buy from each other to trade with one another, thus their credit will not get involved.

Another idea that will our hardware and software up to date will be to continually defrag our computers. Defrag means to remove all the excess space and files within a computer, thus making the machine more efficient and faster. Our computers could become fragmented if files written in all different types of sectors, thus making the computer slower. This can occur if we do not organize all the transactions our website makes. If we can continually defrag our computers, we can make our software and hardware faster and thus be kept updated and overall a better website!
