Blog Social networking

Social networking technologies have come a long way since we were first introduced to them. The capacity at which they are integrated with our daily lives and interactions is much more than when they were first used as a place to post your favorite song on your myspace. Now they are more invasive and we have the power to search for information that never would have been available to us without them. For example, using social media for recruiting. This helps companies with specific job openings search and scroll through sites like Linkdin to find niche candidates for the positions.

This purpose of social networking opens up comp...

Blogs vs Wiki

Blogs and Wikis have made their way into professional settings. Both can be used as cyber social spaces for collaboration and knowledge sharing. In the two articles, "More on How to Build Your Own Wikipedia" by Margaret Locher and "Wal-Mart Tastemakers" by Michael Barbaro we see how both blogs and wikis find their purpose in the workplace. Wikipedias are used more for information collection and data sharing. This seems to be a very effective use of a group wiki because organizing information, numbers, chart, clients etc in a large company can be a very daunting task and physical copies of this information is archaic. A wiki also doesn't take up data on a hard drive than can potentially crash or run out of space. Using a wiki as a collaborative think space between likeminded employees is good was of collecting and sharing valuable knowledge. In the case of the Wal-Mart article, blogs are being used for experience sharing. The employees of Wal-Mart give a candid a...
