Instant Messaging: Review

Instant Messaging is actually pretty cool and I prefer it to regular text messaging. That is because it is mostly free and it has features that texting does not have. These features are read notification bubble, the ability to link it to social media accounts, avatars and cost. I prefer Facebook's Instant Messenger because it is the simplest, user friendly and cost effective. I think that there will be an Instant Messenger app that will come along that will replace all of the features that Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat all have and bundle it into a new all in one app that kids will go crazy for. Dang, maybe I should get started on making that haha. Cheers!!

VOIP: Skype Review

Skype is a pretty cool app and I have used it many times communicating with my family remotely. I think that is the main reason this software is beneficial and I think that both families and business professionals can benefit from using it. I think the advantages to Skype is that it is free, I think the disadvantages is that it is now competing with Facetime and other social media sites that use video streaming.

LinkedIn: Review

LinkedIn. I explored this site and I would have to say that I am not impressed and I do not think this site actually works. I think the only good quality this site would have would lie in the way an employer may be searching for a particular set of skills and it matches to a person in location that has them. What I don't like is the fact that, that person has not already applied for that position and that it is being done through a social media site. I think this site just needs to go away or it needs to turn into a site that actually has job postings and people can apply that way and not the other way around.

Social Media: 3 Site Review

Image
I have explored all three social media sites Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. I picked these three because they were similar but also different in there own ways, there are things some can do and not the others and vis-versa. I would have to say that they are all similar because they can stream video and also allow commenting and page views. They are different in video length, photo posting and instant messaging.

PODCAST and Web 2.0

Image
I checked out both sites, podcasts.com and podcastalley and I was not really impressed. I ended up sticking with what I know and that was I Tunes Podcasts and I picked three different podcast that I thoroughly enjoy. I felt like both sites where similar and I felt that they were outdated and irrelevant. It seemed like podcasts.com was just ads, and that stunk ha ha.

The Nine Club Podcast: Review

The nine club podcast is a skateboard interview podcast ran by skaters that takes a dive into their lives and provides a glimpse into something that you would not normally hear. I really like this podcast and I listen to it daily, like every morning.

Turned Out a Punk Podcast: Review

This podcast is cool because it digs deep into peoples lives who were brought up in the Punk music scene. The producer is in a band that is good so he has the inside scoop and the ability to get good quests. The podcast always starts the same way which takes listeners back in time to when the person first heard punk music or the genre all the way til present day. It is good and you will want more.
