Notas del editor

  1. Authoring a blog, maintaining it or adding an article to an existing blog is called “blogging”. Individual articles are called “blog posts,” “posts” or “entries”. A person who posts these entries is called a “blogger”. A blog comprises of text, images, videos and links to other web pages. Generally blogs use a conversational style of documentation. Often they focus on an “area of interest”. Because the information in a blog is updated regularly when google sees that new content is being posted on your website it views this as more favourable than other sites which are not maintained often and so you can improve your rankings and get found more easily by your potential clients
  2. Linkedin connects you to contacts and helps you to exchange knowledge, ideas, and opportunities with a broader network of professionals in your industry to help you grow the brand of your company and your own personal brand.
  3. Users, can set up a profile and update their status using Tweets and the user’s subscribers or ‘followers’ will be informed of the tweet. The user can also become a follower of other users by finding their profile and clicking on ‘follow’. Depending on privacy settings, a user can restrict tweet deliveries to certain followers such as their network of friends. Other features include uploading photos from mobile, sending private message and more.
  4. Other features include uploading photos, posting personal information, writing on a friend’s wall, interactive applications such as personality quizzes and song dedications, notifications of birthdays and more. Facebook can be used to create events to invite people to attend and create social groups encouraging others to join.
