 Social Networking Sites



For this week, I will be investigating three social networks. I have used or tend to use. Consisting of Twitter, Facebook, and Tiktok.

Twitter

Facebook

    Tiktok

Easy to Navigate

Updated for a streamlined design

Easy to navigate

Great for keeping an eye on your favorite companies

Great way to find old friends

Friendly to new users for uploading content

Easy to find your Interests

Easy to find groups you may be interested in

The algorithm works towards your interests

You can be discreet, and anonymous

It has a shop built into it, along with a facetime ability

You can be discreet and anonymous

Able to post and bookmark items freely

You must use your real identity

New content every day


These are just little bits of information these sites hold; if you wish to be anonymous, skip Facebook (FB) As you cannot use a fake or anonymous name unless you are a business. And if you want to get a good laugh and just see a bunch of videos, then Tiktok would be more up your alley. Or, if you just want to quickly blurt out a message or see the latest updates with your favorite companies, Twitter is the best option.

Skype



Unfortunately, Skype does not allow you to use the software for free. But it is a very cheap alternative to someone that cannot afford to pay for a mobile plan. The only problem I have seen is that the quality will not be that great at most times, whereas a set mobile plan will be better and more effective at providing a secure and quality connection to those you wish to talk to.

Instant Messaging



The first two that come to mind are Discord and Slack. Slack is a more business-based platform, whereas Discord seems to be more relaxed. You could use Discord for small-time things, such as admin(s) and moderators on a website or server keeping communication to each other; due to the ability to be a mobile app and a program for computers, it makes this process a lot easier. Even the APUS E-Sports team uses Discord to communicate about our classes and share events that are happening. Making it more preferred for lax communication.

  Fighting Malware When you browse the web, you can sometimes download harmful files, sometimes on purpose, other times it could be an accident or even a forced unseen download. So you’ll want the best protection you can get. Sometimes your Operating System or browser can come with security already built inside of it, but it doesn’t always clean up everything. You’ll need to find an antivirus tool or a malware protector/finder; some known tools are Malware Bytes and the IObit Malware Protections, but some of these costs a year or up to a packaged bundle that usually runs quite cheap for a year (30.00+ USD) But the benefits of a paid subscription usually outpace that of a non-paid subscription. ClamWin is an Antivirus open source software that can be used completely free, you’ll never have to pay, but you maybe missing out on dozens of benefits from using a trial/free version of the paid versions of known antivirus software. And open-source antivirus software are usually rarely upda

 Summary 2 Sally’s Baking Addiction, a blog known for giving advice and sharing information on creating your favorite foods at home, allowing those who arrive to sometimes come away with better baking knowledge and make an item less sugary or healthier to eat. As baking blogs provide detailed ingredients and baking times for you to keep down for, make your own dessert in a seamless routine. The layout Sally’s has, allows you to see her interpretation of a popular cookie recipe (Oreo) before you get well into attempting it. But sight is only one of the human senses; the taste is another one. Once you are towards the bottom of any of the recipes, you are greeted with a brief description, instructions, ingredients needed, and how long it will take your average person to develop this recipe. Having comments enabled allows a third party to also get engaged with the creator, provide tips and improvements, and share whether or not you agreed with the steps and ingredients put towards the reci
