Here is provided recommendation of certain blogs and how Information system are useful in an everyday basis and into business.

1. Enhancing Collaboration
Using Web 2.0
By Jose Angel Cruz

2. Blogs
• A blog is a frequently updated online personal journal or diary. It is a
place to express to the world. A place to share thoughts and passions
of the owner. It is anything the owner wants it to be.
• Some useful blogs are in three categories: technology,
business/financials, and entertainment.

3. Technology
GIZMODO.
This blog is technology oriented.
However, it has certain post that
are unrelated to their principal
content and links to other blogs,
possible alliances. Their principal
and only description is “we come
from the future” with contacts to
editors, senior writers, deputy,
manager, etc. Gizmo focus on news
of a brand spectrum and
entertainment.
As previously said in the short description, this blogs contains post that are unrelated to technology such as sports, movie
toys, and videos of people skating. Non the less, it does have interesting post such as phones burning, latest advances, and
reviews from ovens to complex computers (personally, read one about Ebola). Overall, it contains a less than half portion on
other topics to keep people informed and loyal. The blog design is sort off confusing since to links send the user to another
blog instead of a sub division, but it has a good design.

4. GiGAOM
They are focus on everything that
can be related to technology, from
food to ancient ingredients of digital
transformation. Gigaom is
technology research and analysis
firm. Their about says, “We are
forward-leaning, with a futures-
oriented take on the trends and
tools that are shaping the economy
of the 21st century”.
The website design is more attractive since it does not appeal complicated to navigate to the eye, in contrast to Gizmodo.
Their audience is for young adults and beyond since they are analytical and business oriented. It has a higher credibility since
some post of there are sponsored by bigger companies such as Dell and Samsung.

5. ZDNET
ZDNet brings together the reach
of global and the depth of local,
delivering 24/7 news coverage
and analysis on the trends,
technologies and opportunities
that matter to IT professionals
and decision makers.
Whatever your role in the IT
buying cycle, ZDNet provides
support -- from investigating
options to optimizing a solution.
Whether you want to follow hot
topics or emerging trends, or
keep up to date with the latest
news and events, ZDNet is the
destination for professionals
seeking to research technology-
related issues, and solve
business technology problems.
A very attractive design, and interesting initial news. It is indeed business oriented,
but it also explores curiosity with some uncommon facts and reviews of latest
trending devices. Moreover, it provides with latest news from tech that people could
still own from previous years.

6. Business Blogs
Seths Blog
A most likely one person manage blog with some
trusted occasional partners. It is focus on business
topics from basic theory to complex lecture. It lacks a
complex designs, not very attractive. However it
compensates the visual appealing with good posts.
It has rank top blog in blogmetrics. It gives the feeling of having
a course with random topics business related. However, the
author is very credible since it has published books which are
advertised in the blogs as well.

7. Chris brogan Blog
One blog which not only has post
content but also offers course to its
subscribers. The session have limited
space, and people need to roll in
quickly if they want to received the
course. Post come from all kind of
business and popular trends such as
winning money from YouTube. Covers
spectrum of business theory, current
examples of entrepreneurs, and self
skills as leadership and personality.
Chris Brogan is CEO of Owner Media
Group , providing strategy and skills for
the modern business. He is also a
highly sought after professional
speaker and the New York Times
bestselling author of nine books and
counting. His latest is called Find Your
Writing Voice.
The blog design is very attractive though Brogan’s picture may be intimidate.
However, it is easy to navigate and find topics from teens to business veterans.
Such as a youtuber knows as “pewdiepie” and his $12 million income a year by
just making videos. Definitely recommended to have a look around.

8. Shoemoney
It lacks information about
themselves, except that it is
compose of a large community.
Seems to be focus on easy ways to
make money online and online
related topics as “choosing who to
add on Facebook”.
Moreover, seems like there are
psychology and marketing people
managing the blogs digital
appealing.
I find it very unappealing just by having an instant “join over”. As it can be seen on the picture, they try to manipulate their
visitors by attacking emotions and status from those who reject them. This actions tell me that they are desperate in a certain
way which is weird since it has a high rank in blogmetrics. I would not denied, it can have useful content, but one must
navigate a lot and be patient.

9. BUZZFEED
• We strive to connect deeply with our
audience, and give them news and
entertainment worth sharing with their
friends, family, and the people who
matter in their lives.
• We have the innovation obsessed culture
and structure of a venture-backed tech
company with an engineering team
focused on building the media platform
for today’s world, and the future.
• We operate a global news organization
headquartered in New York and an
entertainment studio based in Los
Angeles
It is liked by almost everyone. Their snapchat news are
quite interesting and funny. Moreover, their presence in
other social media is strong which is only increases as
the great majority keep on subscribing. I liked their
random new to serious and recent news as well as
entertainment comics.
They content goes from Harry Potter to recent news as
Trump which means they are updated and monitor the
trends of people. Recommended.

10. The Huffington Post
• The Huffington Post is an
American online news aggregator
and blog that has both localized
and international editions
founded by Arianna Huffington,
Kenneth Lerer, Jonah Peretti, and
briefly, Andrew Breitbart,
featuring columnists. The site
offers news, satire, blogs, and
original content and covers
politics, business, entertainment,
environment, technology, popular
media, lifestyle, culture, comedy,
healthy living, women's interests,
and local news.
I will say it keeps serious topics and updated. For
recent news, and development of certain topics,
it is good. It seems to be the type of blog adults
like as to be inform from celebrities to politics
and from worrying to joking around.

11. Vibespost
• Latest news of
celebrities around
the globe. Find out
about their lives,
their joys, and their
secrets.
They focus on gossips from famous people, celebrities, or anyone who are know
worldwide. Since myself lacks interest in the gossip content, I would not got to this
blogs unless it was a topic of discussion in a social group. The blogs it constantly
unfolding previous post to keep the audience interest and promoting more gossip. As it
seems with millions of visitors, people really like gossip.

12. Collaboration Tools
A technology tool that can be used to help people work together to
achieve a common goal or objective.
• Google Drive
• Dropbox

13. Dropbox
• Link sharing documents
and folders
• Document type filter
• 2GB free space
• Folder for Recent
deleted files
Dropbox is a great cloud storage online service. It provides a software to automatically upload
files and share them with a group team or through links. This tool is more convenient for
businesses since it has plans that expand storage and unlocks new tools, respectively with the
plan purchased. It has the inconvenient that free users have limited benefits and no online
edition of documents. Finally, a very good details is its desktop software which enables users to
share and update documents outside their web browser.

14. Google Drive
• Online storage + email
• Edit docs online
• Creates docs and folders
• Sharing with work teams
• Share with public or exclusive
• Update old docs
Google drive provides 15gb of free space however it does not offer
more storage. On the other hand, one can start a new doc from their
platform, update the docs, share with others, automatic saving, and
edit as a group in real time. This tool is better for personal use and
academic use since it storage is good, but limited. It also comes with
PC software to make it more practical and avoid access strictly from
web browser.

15. LinkedIn
There is no denying LinkedIn is the world’s
largest professional network. A whopping
94 percent of recruiters use LinkedIn to vet
candidates. In short, LinkedIn use is not only
increasing with millennials, it’s also become
the go-to service for professionals of all
ages. It establish connections, promotes
people, and received job alerts are key
features of LinkedIn

16. My own blog
• This is my first blog ever. One of
my hobbies is to increase my
wisdom of life. Since constantly,
our hopes are turn into despair;
where one is under constant attack
through his/her weaknesses.
As mention before, a blog is a personal space. It depends on the purpose one prefers to direct
it to. Yet, it shows a part of the person’s personality since administrating a blog for free must
reflect a certain like or tendency. Some might do it to write, others to share, another to keep
their actual knowledge in shape, and many more. The presence is boosted since anyone
anonymously can access the blog and have some interaction with the authors or the
community. In consequence, the blog is a pathway to creating links with other people, and with
the ideas posted there. Unless the visitor knows the person or community, the benefit of
anonymously having an exchange of ideas without been judge is very appealing.
