2. FACEBOOK
Facebook is a feature that I use on a
daily basis because it is very
accessible.
I can keep in touch with family and
friends that live out of town by using
Facebook.
I like to see all the pictures my
friends share on their walls.

3. TWITTER
I like to see what my favorite shows are tweeting on
their pages.
Reading what’s trending helps me keep up with what
is going on in the world.
You can also find friends you haven’t heard from or
make new friends from all over the world.

4. HASHTAG
Hashtags are fun to use
when posting on my
favorites sites.
I use them to put focus on
something important in my
photos when I upload
them.
You can use them when
searching for a certain
picture or post.

5. BLOGGER
I like blogging and blogger is an easy
way to blog.
Blogger is fun to explore and read
through all of the different blogs
people post.
You can design your blog for you,
and you can have more than one blog
for different topics.

6. FLICKR
Flickr makes it easy to
share my photos.
You can save your pictures
into different albums to
make it easier to locate
them.
Geotagging your photos on
Flickr marks on the map
where the photos were
taken.

7. PODCAST
I have never really got into listening
to podcasts.
I would rather watch something I am
interested in, in person or on screen.
Listening to music stations is
something I am more interested in.

8. GOOGLE DOCS
I do not dislike
Google Docs, I just
do not use it often
enough to
understand it.
When I used Google
Docs I saw that it
automatically saves
your documents even
if you do not want
them saved.
I think I may
would like Google
Docs a little more
if I got to
understand how to
use it better.

9. DELICIOUS
Delicious is definitely a site I
probably will not use again.
I do not bookmark many things, so
I don’t really have a need to use this
site.
It’s not that I dislike Delicious, I just
do not feel that I will use it.

10. MYSPACE
MySpace was a social
networking site and then
turned into more of a music
streaming site and I prefer to
use Facebook for social
networking.
Itunes is better for streaming
music for me because I own
mostly Apple products.
I don’t have any use for
MySpace.

11. ALLTOP
I am more into reading actual
magazines and did not feel any
interest for this application.
I do not dislike this application as
much as I don’t think I would use
it.
If I took the time to see what the
differences are between having a
magazine hard copy or digitally
reading them through sites such
as Alltop.
