How To Use A Blog

 

Hi there i am a secound year student studying at south bank university, and as my PraciceInContext assigment i was asked to produce a blog. In this blog i was told to reasearch a topic that incorporated Socail networking. So what is scocial net working and how those it differ from web 2.0 and mash up. Social networking, web 2.0 and mash up are all very much intwined in the sence that they all aim to forfill the 5 goals of social media;- Participation, openness, conversation, community and connected ness. A few examples of web site that incorporate social net working are Claasmates .com, sixdegrees, myspace and google Orkut. All these web sites aim to form a online community where like minded indivudauls can interact and share ideas. These communitys can range from anything from the fans of a certain group to business men looking for new ideas to do busness and make money.

                               Another way of shareing ideas over the internet is blogging (which is what i am doing). A blogg put simply is a journal that starts with the the first most recent post. These journals have can be custom designed (within program limits) to look as you please. Also images videos, podcasts and rss feeds can be placed on them.
