For my normal document writing, I will continue to use Microsoft Word. I have been using this program for many years, and I feel it is very easy to use. It is very convenient as well being that it is directly on my desktop.
Facebook has a wide set of applications that you can use to keep in touch with friends. This is set up as pretty much strictly a social network. This is a place to find out what anyone is doing or has done recently socially. Their are a lot of useful applications that are available on the site, but you have to add them to be able to use them. Basically, you get out of facebook exactly what you want from it.
ning
ning is a website used to set up your own social network. This allows groups to create their own network the way that they want it. The networks are set up much like other networks with profiles on “My Page”. The site also allows for dicussions and comments to be created. The site is geared towards organized groups looking for an organized networking site.
This is set up much like facebook. The difference here is that it seems to be used primarily for professional networking. You can find jobs, business opportunities, or coworkers. This website seems to be very useful to anyone looking for a job or trying to find out information about a job. This is a great website to start building a network.
pownce
This website allows you to send almost anything to your friends. These include messages, files, links, and events. Your friends can be imported from many different contact sets, and the messages or files can be sent to the entire group of one individual.
friendfeed
Basically this allows you to put all of your different applications all on one feed. Anytime to udpate or post almost anything, this websites records it on your feed. People can then scroll through your feed and go to anything that you have done. This is a great way to put all of your appications in one place.
For social networking, I will continue to use facebook. I have been using it for a very long time, and I like the way that it is set up. Also, most of my friends use facebook exclusively. I will however be using LinkedIn much more in the future. To me, this website looks like it is going to be incredibly useful for me when I end up looking for a job.
