Blogging -Update

Blogging is a web based journal that helps people with social interaction and business advertising. Many people using it for just making fun and interacting with others by sharing things about their lives while other people using it as a tool for business advertising by sharing information about their business and engage others to get involved. I think it is a good idea to learn about blogging and I choose it as a topic of my final paper. So I will try to explore more about it and continue to update with new information.

Mindmeister

MindMeister is a tool that allows people to visualize their  thoughts. It helps people create, organize, and plan their personal things like instructors organize their lessons and set discussion boards and students can post their questions and get answers from instructors. Students can use Mindmeister to organize and plan their classes and plan projects and share with others. Mindmeister can be accessed at anytime and anywhere from any computer. This sound like Mindmeister is a good tool in education and e-learning tool which was the topic of week.

 The function that mindmeister does was, it helps users organize their personal lives. For example you can use it to create your personal tasks like your schedule, project plans, and ideas for upcoming evens. 

The most interesting thing about this tool was it is Multi platform and site sharing because it is available at any time and anywhere from and computer or other devices like iPods and iPhones with internet connection. The most challenging about this tool was understanding all mindmeister's features and how can be applied into different applications.

 Mindmeister can improve communication more than complicate it because it offers discussion options for users can share their thoughts and interact with others. But I am not sure how it can complicate communication.

However, it is a good tool that allows people to utilize their thoughts and it can be used in different purpose like educational or business or other personal events ideas. I do not really know about this tool but it is looks great and enjoyed it and I will explore more about it.

Flickr

Flickr is a social media tool that enables people and organizations to manage and share photos and videos online. It also allows them to interact with others by telling others about themselves through photos or videos. Organizations use the Flickr to maintain their business relationships with their customers and entire community by sharing images of their services and products through Flickr. This describes how the Flickr connected to the topic of the week which is Organization.
One function that the Flickr does was, it allows users to express themselves to others by sharing photos and videos online. It is also helps Organizations to describe their services and engage others to look at it and helps bring customer's attention. This means if you have a new business you can tell people about your business by sharing photos about products and office style, to engage people to come see your business.
The most interesting about this tool was being able to tag, and provide title and description for each photo you upload into Flickr. This will help others to understand about your photos. But I don't think there was anything challenging about this tool, everything was easy if compared to other tools that we have used in this class.
I think that Flickr can help users to improve their communication by telling stories about themselves or about their business through sharing photos and videos online. It could also complicate the communication if users attempt to sharing fake images or videos about themselves or their services.
However, it was great opportunity for me to learn about this tool and I think it helps users to tell others about themselves through photos and videos. It is also helps organizations to express their products and engaging customers to buy it. So i don't think it is bad to use it.
