What is your most favorite blogging site? Week 2

This week I am going to compare some of the social network site that is most commonly uses. There are many ways for a blogger to promote their blog. One of the easiest ways is using their social networking site such as Facebook, Twitter or Friendster. Each one of these site caters to various groups which has their own strengths and weaknesses.

Friendster
Friendster is one of the leading social websites within the Philippines and it still boasts of thousands of active Filipino users. From my research it indicates that many of its veteran members have shifted to Facebook, and very few bloggers use Friendster as a blogging tool.

FaceBook
Facebook is more blogger friendly because it is easy to post links that lead to your blogs. You can use the network blogs that automatically pull your blog post and is ready to be posted on Facebook.


Twitter
Twitter is almost similar to Facebook do to the fact that the posting system is similar to the way Facebook does theirs. The main difference between both is that you are limited to 140 characters in your post in Twitter and Facebook over 300 characters.

In comparison of all three social sites the list of the most effective site is:

Friendster: 17% preferred
Twitter: 33% preferred
Facebook: 50% preferred

From my research the better social media optimization sites as both Facebook and Twitter. These two websites somehow cooperated with one another. And the statistics show that Friendster is not a good platform for social media optimization (blogging). It is always good to get your feet wet in new platform; it is a trial and error stage in technology. Since I have always used Facebook, I think that I will stick with it, have you ever hear the phrase “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it”, but I am willing to try.

Welcome to the world of Web 2.0 - Week 1

This is a new topic for me and I know that I have a lot to learn about this subject, but I am ready to learn. In regards to the research that I have done on this topic I have basically found out that I am surrounding by Web 2.0. Web 2.0 is one of the most powerful forces on the web today; it is a force that replies purely on innovation that invention and a force that growing every single second. One of my favorite things of Web 2.0 is Google docs. I love being able to share my excel spreadsheets with other co-workers thought the web; it has made my life a little easier at work and home.

So I look forward to working with all of my classmates during this semester in BITE 5389 as we all discover a little more about Web 2.0. Talk with you all next week.
