284 final part 4
- 1. Emerging Technologies C Final Exam
- 2. Facebook • Facebook is familiar to me – I use it on a daily basis • Lots of users – more likely to connect with people you know • Easy to maneuver through the site
- 3. Blogger • I liked the freedom of Blogger – you can design your blog and customize the layout to make it look how you want it to. • Also very easy to maneuver through the site. • Liberating to get your words out and “on paper.”
- 4. Twitter •Again, easy to use the site •Good way to keep up with celebrities •You can turn anything into a hashtag
- 5. Flickr • I like the create feature – I’m making my mom a brag book for Christmas using Flickr • Minimal amount of words have to be used – let the photos speak for themselves – no statuses to update • The Geotagging feature is pretty interesting
- 6. Newseum • This doesn’t interest me so much, but my dad loves to read the paper so he’ll enjoy this when I share it with him. • It’s nice that it is so expansive – Access to so many different places. • Not difficult to get around the site.
- 7. Google Docs • Too easy to have your work altered. • Not secure enough for my peace of mind. • Doesn’t have all the “bells and whistles” that Word has.
- 8. Wordle • I want to have more control over the word placement – any type A’s nightmare. • Too much trouble – I don’t like that you have to have Java for it to work. • I just don’t get the point of it and dislike basically everything about it.
- 9. Delicious • Too much tagging involved • The name of the site is misleading – I thought I was going to be looking as mouth watering food • Not as easy to navigate as I’d like
- 10. WayBack Machine • Boring – the concept is more interesting than the “product” – has a special audience. • Name is a little misleading - I would think “WayBack” would go farther back than it does. • Homepage is bland and uninviting – even the logo is lackluster.
- 11. Twitter (I have a love hate/thing with Twitter so it made both lists) • The Hashtags - I despise hashtags with everything I am! • Too much drama and too easy to get caught up in it! • Too easy to update – users abuse the privilege of free speech.
