Blog: Social networking sites

Facebook is by far my favorite social networking sites. Upon visiting the sites, you can post a status update. You can also post pictures and videos and go through other people’s profiles seeing their latest activity, recently visited places, or anything that was on their mind. You can also scroll through Facebook and have many interested and funny videos on your page, as well as many news articles and videos regarding Trump and other countries. Twitter is very different, where you can only post a “Status” by tweeting your thoughts, or responding to other people’s tweets.

This can be done through websites such as Craigslist, indeed, Glassdoor, and others. For example, in the article, “Social Networking Technology Boosts job recruiting,” recruiters use Faceb...

Blog v Wiki

A blog Is like an online journal. For example, in the blog “Wal-Mart Tastemakers Write Unfiltered Blog,” by Michael Barbaro, a Walmart employee bashed Microsoft’s new operating system, even though Microsoft Is one of Wal-Mart’s biggest suppliers. Wiki, on the other hand, can be edited very fast inside the web browser, and it is contributed to by many people, whereas a blog is written by a single or very few people. For example, in the article “More on How to Build Your Own Wikipedia,” by Margaret Locher, it talks about how a wiki is supposed to be set up. For example, in a wiki, groups of users create, edit and comment on online documents. This way, each team member could contribute and access the information on the document. This is similar to google docs. Convergence is important because you can access phone, video and data communication services with one network. Therefore, one company can provide you services that involve all forms of communication. Blogs can be used for colla...
