Revised version. based on chapter 5

2.  At the beginning internet was a new function that
allowed computers to communicate with each other
by sending useful information between them.
 At that time certain companies and professional
technicians created the content of the young
internet.At that time, computers where still very
expensive and learning how to use them was difficult
for the average person, much less venture into
webpage designing.
 In our current era we are exposed to many different
webpages with information that may be useful to us,
for example social media webpages like Facebook
that allow us to contact friends and family, or blogs
that talk about everyday problems and how to solve
them.

3.  This information that we now constantly have acces
to most of the time was not placed on the web by a
specialist, but an ordinary internet user.
 With computer technology being cheaper everyday
and also more user friendly now the average user
can uplpad information into the web so others can
use or enjoy.
 This new type of internet is called the Web 2.0 and
now companies have catchec up with the trend and
are starting to use it to further increase their profits by
managuing to reach a more numerouys audience
and making their brand name known.

4.  Mashable: takes the worlds of entertainment, news,
and everything else techies are talking about and,
well, mashes it up into the kind of blog casserole
we just can’t get enough of.
 Gizmodo:with tons of relevant posts, a youthful
vibe, and some of the funnier commenters on the
Internet

downloads and tons of news and analysis on tech

entertaining posts of the absurd to actual
strategic and statistical breakdowns of the MLB.
 The Point Forward:the blog pumps out posts on
the hottest topics and rumors and what they

7.  Wikipedia: I decided to make an account at
Wikipedia.org because it is a site most students make
use of but very little contribute to. This is due to the fact
that it is encouraged that people who collaborate in
Wikipedia already have a higher education.
 After creating my account I could observe the small
number of tools Wikipedia offers to its members.
 Since Wikipedia is made up entirely of articles which
contain information about everything, someone had to
write all that information down and arrange it in a
coherent order. That is the job of the Wikipedia
member, they add and edit the articles so people who
look for certain information receive the most accurate
result.

8.  Wordpress.com is a website created
to enable people to create their own
blogs, so they can share with others.
There is a blog for everything you just
have to look for it.
 I created my own blog and gave a
brief description on how I created it
for the Management Information
Systems Cl. Since you begin creating
your blog, you are given many useful
tools to arrange and decorate your
blog to your liking. You can select
from a wide variety of themes, some
of them are free while others require
certain amount of money to use
them. You can also look for other
blogs and add friends to your list.

9.  LinkedIn: is a business-oriented social networking
service. Founded in December 2002 and launched
on May 5, 2003,it is mainly used for professional
networking.
 This site is really useful because by adding
connections you get to know other people and find
different companies and jobs available.

10.  SlideShare: Users can upload
files privately or publicly in the
following file formats:
PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote or
OpenDocument
