Instant Messaging

I use instant messaging daily. I normally use Facebook Messenger. As well as WhatsApp. I had to help my nephew and niece with their homework. They are in Puerto Rico and thru this platform; we have been able to complete these tasks. Facebook acquired this app in 2014. We can send unlimited text, video, audio, and photo; public and secure. We can even do face-to-face calls. My group on church use Google hangouts to do our video chats every Saturday night. We are located in different states but we are always connected thru this app. If we have trouble with this application, we alternate it with Skype Business.   The instant message platform use will depend on what we are speaking about and with whom. Some of the others IM software is MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Apple iChat and AOL.  IM apps can be downloaded from PC or mobile. In a previous time, both users had to be using the same software. Now and day several customers, however, allow interoperability between networks, including Microsoft's recently developed Live Messenger. Expansions in mobile technology now let handset users to continuously be available via IM, through such popular devices such as smartphones, tablets, and more.

                              

                                         VOIP ( Voice over IP)

I have the Skype social media platform for so long and had used it so many times.  I've been in different locations around the world while being deployed, and Skype was basically the best option we had to communicate with our loved ones back in the states. Just using the internet service we had available there; which what a little bit slow, we will be able to do video chat or have a normal call at no cost. A disadvantage of using this type of VOIP device is that connection will be slow and you will get time gap during the calls because of the slow Internet speed. One of the most significant things to point out is that VOIP is not regulated to voice communication. VoIP it is very important because, for the very first time in more than 100 years, there has been a significant change in the way that people connect. We also have the capability to use videophones; I did this a lot while stationed in Hawaii. We had to set up the video conference for my top military leadership every Wednesday. We called it VTC. One of the more remarkable features of VoIP is that we also have the ability to integrate a separate telephone or videophone with the computer. In the military, we used Ventrilo and several more that I cannot remember the name right now. In conclusion, VoIP allows people to connect in more ways and with more alternatives.

LinkedIn

LinkedIn is a social networking site with a professional focus.  It's normally used to display qualities, skills, and work experience. Having a network established with friends, former co-workers past and present ones is an excellent choice. If you own a business, try to find a better job, or whatever the case might be, having this network establish will give an advantage when getting what you want. You can start a new contract and meet other professionals in your business.  It will be a good idea to utilize a professional photo to project you out to the business world. As well as having an astonishing profile summary of your skills and professionalism, similar to a Resume. Also, keep reach out to other people in your field and try to connect and build a bigger network. LinkedIn has developed as one of the most significant websites for searching for a job. LinkedIn is literally where all the HR directors and recruiters are now looking into it. They are constantly looking, so we have better stand out from the multitude. Claiming our public profile URL will promote our profile.

                                          Social Media Platform Comparison

This new social media eruption started when in the early 2004 Facebook was created. There were many pessimists who were committed that this new platform will not stand a chance alongside the Social Media titan. In only 5 years it took over the social media space and became number one. MySpace disappear not too long after that. It has been 14 years, and a lot of new mergers have tried to take on the social media juggernaut to no reward. And the reason is very simple; if the people, businesses or makes that you faithfully loved and followed offered a committed community to you, would you be interested in their app? And we already know the answer is yes.  

In Web 3.0 Social media is a very important part since it involves every marketing plan. This is why it is very important for every business to have a solid idea of what social media channels they will want to use. As well they will have to know is a Facebook page will be enough or they will need more form of marketing their name. For professional social networking, we have bloggers, social video networks, images, and much more. All we will have to do is find what really match our needs. The marketing department will be the key to success for every business. In today’s day advertising atmosphere, industries have the potential of starting a viral sensation that can transform into massive improvements in viewership, web circulation, and eventually benefits. But to keep this tendency success is just half of the fight.
