A Critical Review of Google Docs (Extra Credit)

            Google Docs is a great way for people to save their documents online without anyone seeing it. It is pretty much like Microsoft Word but online. It is an excellent way to save work especially when you don’t have a USB stick. You can accesses Google Docs wherever there is internet so you can save your work and then edit it somewhere else. It is great for students because if they don’t have a USB stick and you have to write something for school and don’t finish it, you can save it to Google Docs and then finish it at home. It’s great for business for the same reason because not everyone has a computer that they take back and forth from their job so it’s easy to do work at home. It isn’t very good for business however because not all business can be done on it. It isn’t very good for news because you don’t look at other people’s Google Docs, it’s just for yourself, so you can’t see what news is going on. It isn’t very good for social purposes either because of the same reason, you can’t communicate with it, however you can use Gmail, just not Google Docs.

A Critical Review of MySpace and Facebook

            MySpace and Facebook are the two biggest sites for social networking. With both sites, you can add friends, send private messages, write on a public wall, post pictures, make status updates, post videos, and much more. With both of them you can keep in touch with friends and family all over the world and can even see what your favorite celebrities are up to. You can make your own profile and look at other peoples profiles as well. Profiles include your information such as your relationship status, favorite movies, favorite music, status updates and any other information that you would like to put on there. MySpace and Facebook aren’t too good for business purposes unless you are looking to interview someone for a job and you can see their profile, otherwise it doesn’t really help much business wise. Facebook and MySpace are good for entertainment purposes because most bands and musicians have ones and will post updates on them. MySpace and Facebook aren’t really too good for news updates unless one of your friends writes something about the news. They are very good for recreational purposes because it is a fun thing to do and you can post pictures and make status updates and be as creative as you want. I think that Facebook and MySpace are the best for social purposes because you can connect with friends and see their pictures and what they are up to. It’s great for keeping communication with people who you don’t see much. Overall MySpace and Facebook are great sites for social, entertainment, and recreational purposes.

LinkedIn Review

            LinkedIn is a social networking site that is used mainly for business. LinkedIn is probably the best site for business because this is how a lot of business companies find new employees. You can search for your dream companies and can send invitations to the people who work there. LinkedIn is good for social purposes because it lets you connect to people who you know and people in other businesses whom you would want to get to know. It is also good for recreational purposes because it is a more fun way to look for jobs and search for them and get to know the people personally who work there. LinkedIn can be abused because if someone hacks your profile, they can send out things that you don’t want them to, to a business that maybe you wanted to work in.
