Social Technology Beginners

With the development of technology, the traditional communication is meeting with a big revolution. The traditional communication methods, such as, talking face to face and writing letters between long distance are instead of other communication methods. At this time, people would like to send messages, emails or use other applications to deliver information. Most of the time, just delivering information can not satisfy human beings’ requirements. People would like to share the information, meanwhile they would like to get or search more information from the others. The social tools make a great contribution to information and resource share. Today, I just introduce three kinds of social tools, such as Twitter, YouTube and Pinterest.

#1 Twitter

I haven’t posted any blogs before I chose this unit. But I have learned many social technology skills during the last three weeks. In this week, I signed up my own twitter account, and I have no experience about using twitter. With the time of using it, I found that it is really a useful and important tool for the social technology beginner. I can post comments every day, and share my life with my friends. I can also follow anything, which I am interested in, such as my friends, some famous people or my favourite brands. Here, I have to mention that I can find my favourite juice brand boost on twitter. There is a lot of related information or news, which is posted on it. I believe that it must promote Boost marketing and attract much more customers. I also can share my blog to my twitter, which will help me to obtain much more readerships and I also can get more comments. Meanwhile, I will search the related topics by twitter to help me further research.

#2 YouTube

YouTube is really an amazing social media. We can post the videos, which are made by ourselves.  We also can make some vblogs, which just like some friends have mentioned. However, the most attractive part for me about YouTube is that it is a learning tool. For example, I didn't know how to build a blog last week. I just need to enter the question. Thousands of results will be shown in 1 second. So I can follow the video, and solve my problems step by step. Comments are allowed to post under each video. It helps me to better understanding about the video content. Now, YouTube sometimes becomes my second class, which helps me to learn and share resources.

 

#3 Pinterest

I also find a very interesting social tool, and it has a lot of resources. I haven’t used it before this semester. Here, I share a video to introduce printerest. In the second video, James Hickey helps us to introduce how to use Pinterest for business. Hope you like it.

Pinterset can help me send messages to my friends. The function is similar to Facebook. What’s more, I can use it to make plan projects, swap ideas and share my best discoveries. Here, I show my Pinterset, and I also share my new blog to Pinterset. I haven't used it for a long time, so there are not a lot of contents on mine. However, I believe that it will have abundant contents in my Pinterset after this semester. I will use it to assist me to get and share much more information and knowledge about social (Web2.0) tools and enterprise2.0.  

PS: Thank you for John Morrison’s suggestions. So I can  make some further explanations about Pinterset in my life.Welcome to discuss and comments. Thank you !
