empowers and inspires people around the world. Mashable's 42 million monthly
unique visitors and 21 million social media followers have become one of the
most engaged digital networks in the world.

3. As it can be seen this is a blog related with technology in which the news about
new cellphones releases in the market, new programs, computer, among other
are the main topic. Also, there are some forum in which any user can leave his
or her personal opinion about the topics.

4. Gigaom’s purpose is to humanize the impact of technology. It was founded in
2006, Gigaom is the leading global voice on emerging technologies. Our news,
research and events humanize technology and provide deep insight on disruptive
companies, people and trends.

5. BLOGS RELATED TO BUSINESS/FINANCIAL
Naked Capitalism as an effort to promote critical thinking through the medium of a
finance and economics blog. It started writing because there was an obvious
underreporting in the US of the severity and extent of the underpricing of risk in all
credit instruments. It didn’t take any great insight to recognize that. It’s hard to state
emphatically enough how obvious it was to someone with reasonable financial markets
experience who simply read the Financial Times and Bloomberg that the official
narrative was a crock.

6. This is a blog created by Dr. Kedrosky, he is an investor, speaker, writer, and
entrepreneur. One of the reason why this blog is very popular is because he has
demonstrated his unerring ability to enter fast growing markets before they take off,
and exit before they have grown large enough to deliver an island-purchasing exit.

7. The site provides concise and very accessible summaries of all the key economic data
and developments. This blog began in 2005 because there was a disaster brewing in the
form of the housing bubble, and tried to do the best with this blog to warn the rest of us
of what was coming.

8. BLOGS RELATED TO ENTERTAIMENT
This is one of the most known blogs related to entertainment because they most of the
time public any news about a celebrity before others. In addition, they also have a
television show in which they provide to the public with information about almost
everything that deals with the entertainment world. Being one of the fastest-growing,
most influential properties on the internet.

9. This blog is awesome. Its treatment of marine life oddities, interesting stories regarding
the solar system, and various tech subjects allows the blog to respond to both a wide
variety of interests as well as provide a nice balance of fact and entertainment. I really
liked this blog due to the fact that it offers a wide variety of articles regarding different
subject matters. I chose this blog because of the fact that it not only keeps me entertained
but also informed of what is going around the world. This blog as it can be appreciated is
not only for Youngers but also for adults because here we can find different topic that we
may like.

10. This blog is so catchy to me because you can use basic tools such as play, pause, resume, stop,
rewind and forward, adjust the volume and navigate back and forth within the video. You can
also load subtitles, create and save a playlist, configure video and audio settings you can use
basic tools such as play, pause, resume, stop, rewind and forward, adjust the volume and
navigate back and forth within the video. You can also load subtitles, create and save a playlist,
configure video and audio settings. In addition, you can use keyboard shortcuts (but you
cannot redefine them), enable the option to turn off the computer after video is done playing,
as well as set MovieSpot to always be on top of other applications. Hence, we can see that we
have a huge variety of ways to keep entertained ourselves. All these applications that were
showed above keep you entertained.

11. Selected tool: Google Docs

12. GOOGLE DOCS
Google Docs is part of a comprehensive package of online applications offered by and associated
with Google. This is an important web base application tool with a very open target market
because it is very useful for business people as well as students. This tool enables users to create,
edit, and download documents and spreadsheet that can be store online among other features.
Moreover, files create on this tool can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection
and a full feature web browser.
This tool is used online and one of the features that really call my attention is that Google Docs
lends itself to collaborative projects in which multiple authors work together in real time from
geographically diverse location; all participants can see who made specific document changes and
when those alterations were done. In addition, because documents are stored online and can also
be stored on users' computers, there is no risk of total data loss as a result of a localized
catastrophe that sometimes happen when we are working on important projects. Users of Google
Docs can import, create, edit and update documents and spreadsheets in various font s and file
formats, combining text with formulas, lists, tables and images. Additionally, Google Docs is
compatible with most presentation software and word processor s. Work can be published as a
Web page or as a print-ready manuscript. Users can control who sees their work. Google Docs is
ideal for publishing within an enterprise, maintaining blogs or composing work for viewing by the
general public. However, the internet based nature of Google Docs rise some concerns among
some authors because their work may not be too private or secure.

13. TO CONCLUDE
Google Docs satisfies one need very well: it’s the suite to use if you have a bunch of
people who need to work on files at the same time or repeatedly over time.
Moreover, with centralized storage, change-tracking, and easy sharing, Google Docs
fills that niche perfectly. But for basically any other need, a pure desktop application
could be better. Even a program as simple as TextEdit can do more than Google
Apps’ Document. There’s just no comparison between Google Docs and either iWork
or Microsoft Office. Those native applications give you more features, better
interfaces, and superior integration with the OS.

14. Account on Linkedin

15. Account on Wordpress

16. First at all, it is important to describe what is WordPress, this is an online, open
source website creation tool written in PHP. Moreover, it is probably the easiest and most
powerful blogging in existence today. However, people often make the mistake of
classifying WordPress as just a blogging platform. Although that used to be true in the past,
WordPress has evolved through out the years into a versatile content management system or
CMS. While you can still use WordPress to create a simple blog, now it also allows you to
create fully functional websites and mobile applications. The best part about WordPress is
that it’s easy to use and flexible enough for just about anything. That’s the main reason why
WordPress has grown so much in popularity. According to a recent survey, WordPress
powers 22.5% of all websites on the internet.
WordPress is a very useful tool specially for companies who want to publish on
the web. Additionally, it encompasses very famous blogs, news outlet, music sites, among
others; also, WordPress is the most used blog for celebrities and companies. For instance,
famous blogs like Mashable and TechCrunch are both on WordPress. News outlets like The
New York Times’ blogs and CNN’s on-air personality blogs all use WordPress as well.
If you have ever curious about who uses WordPress, head on over to the
WordPress site showcase and you for sure will be impressed by the number of well known
sites and famous people that use WordPress to power their websites. One of the reasons
might be because WordPress is 100% free
