DeleteA global Q&A social networking site with more than 215 million users, Ask.Fm. Ask.fm is a micro blogging platforms in which it is simple to ask questions, find answers and start conversations with your friends or anyone in the world. The site was founded in 2010 in Riga, Latvia. Ask.fm is an anonymous question and answer platform website used regularly by lots of young people in Ireland and around the world. People can get the information they are looking for by asking a quick anonymous question and wait for the persons answer. One thing parents and others are scared about is that no one monitors the content on Ask.fm. This could lead to bullying and can get inappropriate content on this website.
ReplyDelete~Sydney Laplante
DeleteAsk.fm was all the rage back in middle school. But I didn't know it was used in Ireland so much! Due to the massive reports of bullying on this website, has the site seen less users recently?

DeleteEBay: social commerce site that allows people to buy or sell anything they would like to online. A seller posts the item on eBay and either chooses to auction it off with bids or allow people to buy it at the listed price. EBay was founded on September 3, 1995 in San Jose, California by Pierre Omidyar. As of now, eBay is a multibillion dollar site and operates in many countries around the world, with about 250 million users buying and selling goods. Although there are several bizarre objects sold on eBay, the first thing ever listed on the site was a broken laser pointer, sold for $14.83. As of now, the most expensive purchase on the site a Gulfstream II Jet that sold for $4.9 million in 2001. The way this site delivers information is simple: a seller shows everyone the item they are willing to sell and any buyer that is looking for said object, whether for collecting purposes or otherwise, can buy it at the price that the seller gives.

DeleteThis is such an interesting site because it makes shopping wayyy easier. With just a click of a button i can buy whatever I want and not have to get up and find the item in stores. It's also more convenient when I don't have time to look for a product, like when i am busy with school and work and really need to buy markers for a project, i can do it in one minute. I wonder what was the most bizarre item sold on this site? (Shayleen Nin)
DeleteIs EBay more popular than amazon?
DeleteI never thought of Ebay as a social media site. Ebay is very helpful for people like collectors trying to find odd items. How does the website monitor inappropriate listings? -Brooke Raper
DeleteFacebook is a social networking website, launched in February 2004 from Cambridge, MA, which allows users to create profiles, upload images and videos, send instant messages and keep in touch with friends, family and colleagues. There are over 2.23 billion monthly active users and about 73% of the users are active everyday. An interesting fact about Facebook is that the first "face" to appear on the website was of Al Pacino, a portrait of a man hidden behind binary code. This social media platform has connected families through the use of instant messaging and creating group pages. My family was able to plan our annual family reunion over Facebook because of the advanced technology that Facebook has incorporated into their website.
ReplyDeleteLeilani Beard
DeleteFacebook is pretty cool. I know that most people use it to stay in touch with friends and family, but I've heard you can also sell things on Facebook. Is that true?
DeleteYouTube is a video sharing social media platform. Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, 3 former PayPal employees, created YouTube in February 2005. There are 1 billion active user each month, and the most searched topic is music. Videos are made to deliver information and anyone can watch your video with a link or by searching it in the search bar.
ReplyDeleteJames Marin
DeleteI was right there about to get YouTube but you got it before me. Well played. I regular YouTube when I have nothing else going on, so it's probably my most searched website. Just wondering, what are some of the most popular videos on the site? Feels like anything could go viral at any time

ReplyDelete* Tumblr
* Microblog/Social Networking
* Tumblr is a social networking and microblogging platform that was started in 2007 by David Karp. This website allows the users to post multi-media and other content to form a short blog.
* Amazingly, Tumblr has over 100 million blogs, and only 167 employees.
* Unlike other social media platforms, Tumblr users are equally divided between men and women.
* They facilitate information through text, photos, videos, and audio clips
(Leilani Beard) I didn't know that Tumblr was a micro-blogging network. I've heard that over the years Tumblr has become less popular. Do you think this is because of more blogs being created?
Delete(Ray Logan:) I chose the website Reddit to discuss. Reddit is a social networking platform. It was launched in 2005 by college roommates and has become what fans call a website with "great things going on" and what critics call "toxic" and "the worst thing to ever disgrace this place we call earth." It has roughly 542 million unique visitors each year. Reddit is one of the most controversial sites on the internet due to its community-moderated setup and massive quantities of offensive content. An example of Reddit facilitating information delivery is moderators elected by the community. They, of course, are usually no better than the community itself, meaning that very little sorting of things worth reading and things that are insanely offensive go on there. This website is a disaster and a personal favorite of many like myself.
ReplyDeletesounds cool and interesting. I could read these posts all day. why do you think people find some of the posts offensive?
DeleteI use reddit all the time when I want an actual review on something, doesn't matter what it is, people on reddit will already have an ongoing discussion about it. The reviews are probably the most accurate, even if users are a little weird. How do you become a moderator?
Delete(Madison Garriss) I've never used Reddit before, but it sounds fun. Do you have to pay any money to be able to use Reddit? It seems like a fun place for people with the same interests to come together, and discuss different topics.
DeleteThat sounds really interesting! its always really nice to interact and have conversations with people that share the same interest. There is always at least one person willing to talk to you about the thing you are looking for. Is there and way you can explain how to navigate this strange website?
Delete1. Many of the threads on Reddit delve into topics that they probably wouldn't bring up in real life, often borderline illegal, but usually just plain rude.
Delete2. Moderators are chosen by the community, and they are usually someone that either helped start the thread or just share similar views with most of the community.
3. You don't have to pay to use Reddit, though you can make purchases of their currency in order to show appreciation for a post by giving it away beyond an upvote.
4. . . . Be careful, I guess.
DeleteHow has Reddit dealt with censoring some communities? I know that they deleted all of the Incel forums after some shootings. What other communities have they removed, and also how many.

ReplyDeleteWordPress
Blogging
WordPress is a very popular site for blogging and website creation. It is very easy to use and is also very a powerful tool for newer bloggers.
According to a statistics post by Tom Ewer, approximately 74.6 million sites use and depend on WordPress.
One unique fact about WordPress is that there are approximately 6 posts posted per second on the site which adds up to approximately 7.49 million posts per year.
One example of how WordPress facilitates information delivery is that they have systems that document incoming posts and have a feature where users can flag posts.
This sounds really fun and interactive. It seems to be a very relaxing activity to just sit and read about other peoples lifestyles. I was wondering can you just go on other peoples blogs on one website or are they separate websites?
DeleteLeilani Beard ^
DeleteThis site seems great for people interested in starting a blog with little experience in technology. The ease of use is beneficial to those passionate about a topic but not wanting to spend lots of time creating a website. What happens to a user who makes an inappropriate post? - Brooke Raper
DeleteBeyond Type One is a blog for people who have, care for, or know someone with type 1 diabetes. The blogging website only launched in 2015, and has over 2,000,000 members in their community. The blog posts touch on subjects most people are too embarrassed to talk about when it comes to diabetes. Some categories include; understanding T1D, travel and adventure, exercise, school, and sex, drugs and rock & roll. In 2016, Beyond Type One launched its micro-blogging social media app. Users can post lengthy stories or short blurbs about their struggles, successes, and suggestions, related to managing and living with Type One Diabetes. The Beyond Type One app is the only social media platform exclusively for diabetics and their friends and family. On the app, the user has a timeline of the recent posts from the people they follow, a trending page with the latest popular posts, a chance to share photos with their text, comment on others posts, and opportunities to become a public ambassador through recruitment of new members. "Cheering" a post lets the publisher know you enjoyed it, but there are also ways to report inappropriate posts which are taken down until they can be reviewed. - Brooke Raper
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really helpful site for those who have T1D and I bet it has really helped a lot of people to be more open about their struggles. It seems like it would be a good idea to have similar sites for all types of illnesses. Do you agree?
DeleteSpotify
ReplyDelete• Social networking: users can follow their favorite artists, follow their friends, and see what their friends are listening to
• Description: Launched on October 7, 2018, Spotify is a music streaming app. Their headquarters is located in Stockholm, Sweden. They have 3000 employees that provide DRM-protected content from media companies and record labels.
• Users: 180 million
• Interesting fact: Spotify is currently preparing to extend their reach to North Africa and the Middle East in November 2018.
• Example: A user’s home page includes their most streamed artists or playlists, as well as mixes created for them, new music related to their streams, other playlists created by Spotify, and what their friends are listening to.
Your interesting fact is very interesting. Is Spotify more popular than Apple Music?
DeleteHow does Spotify create different playlists for you based off off what your friends are listing too? I didn't know that Spotify was a only recently launched. It is interesting to see how fast the app they has grown and improved In less than a year.
DeleteKatie Schlather
Wow you can use Spotify to share music with friends! I wish I had friends but at least now I have Spotify and awesome music. What music do you listen to? Its 2008 not 2018. -Luke Bernhard
Delete(Madison Garriss) My social media site is Google +, and its social platform is instant messaging. The launch date of Google + was June 28, 2011, and was founded by Vic Gundotra. Google + is an internet based social media that is owned by Google in which you chat with others, and can be compared to Facebook's instant messaging. Google wanted to "replicate the way people interact offline." There is 111 million users of Google +, but only about 6.7 million of those have more than 50 posts. An interesting fact about this social media site is that there is a 5,000 maximum friend limit on each person's profile. An example of how Google plus facilitates information delivery is that it helps with outside classroom discussion to increase communication, and people's awareness of new research.
ReplyDeletemax v
DeleteI like google + what other services do they offer? are they only an instant messaging platform? so you cant have more than 5,000 friends is there a specific reason for that. I like the facts you provided about google + i will create an account asap. Also is google plus a free platform to use?
Google + seems like a good way to communicate with your friends. They are still really popular and i'm not surprised that they have a lot of users as google is a popular search engine. Are you able to talk in a group and share photos in the messages?
DeleteTwitter is a microblogging social media platform. Twitter is a free social media microblogging platform that allows users to post these little short messages to the world called tweets. Twitter was created March 21, 2006 in San Francisco, CA. Twitter has an average of 335 million active users on a monthly basis. Twitter was almost called Friendstalker, but thankfully Twitter’s co-founder’s said the name came off “too creepy.”

ReplyDeleteSnapchat is a social networking platform. Snapchat is a quick sharing app where you can share photos, videos, and message people. You can send a messages or pictures, but once the recipient opens the snap it will delete. The app also allows you to share moments on a story, that eventually deletes after 24 hours and is available for all of your “friends” to see. Snapchat launched in September of 2011 and was founded by Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy. There are 158 million people that use Snapchat. On average people open the app 18 times per day and spend 25-30 minutes on the app. When the app was first created it was named Picaboo and was only available to IOS users, but in 2012 the founders changed the name to snapchat. Along with changing the name they opened the app to android users as well. Snapchat facilitates their content by giving the users options to report people and inappropriate photos to Snapchat headquarters, where they can suspend the users account.
-Katie Schlather
Sounds like an app everyone can have and message your friends. It's also cool how the chats instantly delete so you can feel secure. Do you think snapchat is one of the biggest apps that teenagers use?
Delete(Armand Morgan)This sounds fun and extradinary. I personally use snapchat alot and that`s how i communicate with my friends. Snapchat has indeed become a very popular social media site and has certainally changed the the way the world is. I personally believe that snapchat is a great site and has changed many lives for decades to come.
DeleteSnapchat is really the only social media that I have, and although I use it normally now, I originally got it reluctantly. It does make conversation a lot easier though, and it's easy for me to see what's happening in my friends' daily lives. Quick question, what are some of the most popular public stories on the app, in news or just funny things?

ReplyDeleteMyspace seems like a cool website to be able to share a bunch of things that you like. It almost seems like a bunch of different social medias put together into one. Why don't we see this website now?
DeleteMy Social Media site is Tagged. The social media platform is social networking. Tagged was founded in 2004 and it`s founder and CEO is Greg Tseng has led this company a long way. The company has came through alot of problems. Tagged has at least 5.9 million people in the U.S
ReplyDeleteand 18.6 million people globally. In 2009 has tagged was in a deceptive bulk e-mail incident that shook the the company. The e-mail was deceving alot of users and made a bunch of people distrust the company. Since then the company has fixed that situation. The daily information deliverary is both social messaging and Instant Messaging. In September 2005 the company raised $1.5 million in angel investor funding and three months later raised an additional $7 million from Mayfield Fund, a venture capital firm.
Originally an under-18 site, Tagged allowed users of any age to join from October 2006.
In March 2008, Microsoft announced a commercial partnership with social networking sites Tagged, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bebo, and hi5 regarding email contacts APIs, which has since been implemented. Other past and current Tagged partnerships have included Slide, RockYou, PhotoBucket, Meebo, Razz, and Jangl. In February 2009, following complaints from the public Tagged was blocked in Qatar by the only ISP, Qtel, due to inappropriate content that Qtel could not selectively filter. Tagged.com had been one of the top ten most visited sites in Qatar.
In January 2010, Tagged announced that it was donating $50,000 to the Yéle Haiti Earthquake Fund, partly stemming from user donations. In the same month, Tagged won a $200,000 judgment against Erik Voegler, who was spamming other Tagged users.

ReplyDeleteWebsite: VSCO
Platform: Image sharing
Description: VSCO is an app where users can take and upload photos and edit them and share them with other VSCO users.Created by the Visual Supply Company, and the site launched in 2011. They now offer VSCO + for $20.00 a year. VSCO + gives the users new tools and filters not available to regular users.
How many users: There are approximately 30 million active users monthly.
How do they choose to facilitate information delivery: Unlike Instagram, VSCO does not have a "like button", so they are pulling away from the normal social media format. There is little to no censoring on the company end when it comes to riskier stuff, users have to be at least 13 years of age and have and email address.
VSCO also has both a republish and favorite feature. It also allows for users to easily republish and view the content of other users they don't know in real life while not having good privacy settings, which could create some concern for parents. Do you know if you can only add other users soley by username and not by contact info? I know at least for me it's a pain to have to write out someone's exact name in the search bar when I'm trying to add a friend
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI love using VSCO to edit my pictures! I didn't know they had VSCO+ though. Have they made any changes with the censoring/privacy to help with accidents in the past?
DeleteWhy would you want to pay for social media? Social media is to communicate freely without a price tag. Also, I have never heard of this site. Maybe they should pay for a better advertising system.
DeleteAmazon originally named "Cadabra" as in "Abracadabra" is a online E-Commerce that deals with buying/distributing goods and services. Amazon was launched on July 5, 1994.

Skype is a free video sharing/instant messaging website that allows users to interact with one another through either messaging like texting or video calling like FaceTime. Skype was created in August of 2003 by 2 entrepreneurs named Niklas Zennström, who was Swedish, and Janus Friis, who was Danish. These entrepreneurs wanted to create a free way for people to communicate with one another quickly and efficiently across the world in real time, they wanted to make a website that was easy to use and where people would use it daily. Skype is used by around 4.9 million people daily and has been downloaded by over a billion people across the globe. In Skype’s first 6 months, users racked up a total of 95 billion minutes of voice and video calls. Skype has many settings that you can change to customize it to how you want, you are able to block people who spam you, you are able to customize your privacy settings so you cannot get messages from people you do not know, and you can even turn off video calls if you do not want to receive any. Skype is used all around the world to share personal information and stories between family members, while businesses can use it to quickly and efficiently transfer new ideas between employees and clients. ~Will Sicker R1
ReplyDeleteI used Skype before I had FaceTime. I grew away from it because the connection was sort of choppy, and when I went overseas I had to pay money to Skype people back home. What effect has FaceTime had on Skype's business?
DeleteSkype seems a lot like an original version of FaceTime before iphones had all their popularity. I wonder if Apple stole their idea of being able to call people while seeing them at the same time. Do many people use Skype on cell phones or mostly just on computers and laptops?
DeleteI have only used Skype once when my dad was in China and the Facetime would'nt go through because of the Chinese government blocking the server. What was first Facetime or Skype?

Pandora Radio
Pandora radio is a music streaming and automated music recommendation internet radio service. Pandora is a social networking platform. A social networking platform is an online platform which people use to build social relations with other people with similarities. Pandora was founded in 2000 as the human genome project. Pandora uses algorithms to help the listener find music he likes. Pandora has about 100 million active users, which is a huge number. Do you know why this music station is called Pandora? It is because Pandora means ‘all gifted’ in Greek. In Greek mythology Pandora received many gifts from the gods, including music. On way that Pandora facilitates information delivery is it is only in America and not in the other parts of the world. This makes it easier to monitor what their customers are listening to.
Pandora sounds like a really cool website since it can automatically pair you with artists similar to the ones you already listen to. That's crazy that it's been able to stay relevant since 2000. Is Pandora struggling more now that apps like Spotify or Apple Music mostly dominate the music industry?
DeletePandora is a great way to stream music but i never really liked how i could not play one song i really wanted to play. Have they done anything to help this yet? Great way to find new music though.

ReplyDeleteKik
Kik, an instant messaging app, was launched on October 19, 2010 by a group of college students at the University of Waterloo. It was the first app developed by what is now the Canadian company Kik Interactive. It was made available for both iOS and Android operating systems free of charge. It operates on both data and Wifi to send messages both one-on-one and in large groupchats of up to 49 people, as well as videos, pictures, and other forms of media. The app had 300 million users as of 2016. Kik is similar to other messaging apps such as Viber and WhatsApp, but also has additional features as opposed to just messaging such as an internal internet browse, stickers, and games. Kik has become controversial over some of their in-app features such as “Match & Chat” and “Flirt!”. Both features are dating focused, which is a large concern for parents of children using the app. The biggest issue is any user can decide what age range of people they would like to be matched to, creating concern over adults attempting to talk to kids. The anonymous chatting feature has also led to the cases of cyberbullying and sharing inappropriate content. Kik does have some protections in place though and allows users to block other users. Kik also allows users to turn off address book adding, making it such that the only way someone can add a user as a “friend” is by knowing the user’s exact username. Kik can also suspend or permanently ban users for not following the Community Guidelines or Terms of Service.
(Ray Logan:) I see why you might find Kik to be a useful website. I'm aware that there are plenty of issues, however. Did the app ever fully recover from all the scandals that happened back in 2016?
DeleteKik was great back in the day, especially if you only had a ipad or ipod. I remember i used to text my friends on Kik all the time. Is it still around today?
DeleteMyspace is a social networking platform that offers a user-submitted network of friends, personal profiles, and a space to share blogs, groups, photos, videos, and music. Founded in Beverly Hills on August 1, 2003 , Myspace rose in popularity rapidly to become the world's most used site in 2006. Myspace had about 80 million users in it's peak, from about 2006 to 2008, but since then has had a major crash and is pretty much obsolete. Myspace shows that it still has about 50 million users today, but most of them are totally abandoned accounts. Myspace may be dead now, but it definitely wasn't a failure. Myspace's total revenue since it started totals at about 109 million dollars today. In its prime Myspace was one of the most successful sites of the late 2000s, and offered a new way to share posts and make "friends", all online on their platform.One example of this was how you could enter a "top 8" on your personal profile. This meant anyone on Myspace who looked at your profile could see who your top eight friends are. This and many more were ways how Myspace set itself apart from other social media sites in the late 2000s.
ReplyDeleteWho was the creator of Myspace? I have known about Myspace for a while, even though I have never used it, I think I might try it just to see how information was shared and what it was like 10 years ago. I will probably go ask my brother to see if he used Myspace and see if i can get his account. ~Will Sicker
DeleteI remember my brother having a Myspace. Lot of younger adults use to use it. I'm pretty sure there were a lot of teenagers that used it mostly. Is Myspace still valued at that 109 million?
DeleteI remember hearing that you could play your favorite song on your profile on Myspace. What are some other ways you can customize your profile? Was there any way to regulate the kind of music that you played on your profile? It seems that this customization could be easily exploitable.
DeleteMyspace seems like a cool website to be able to share a bunch of things that you like. It almost seems like a bunch of different social medias put together into one. Why don't we see this website now?
DeleteWho goes on myspace anymore? I know it started first but I think it's time to change things up. If they added new features, maybe people would sign on more. It will need all the help it can get to survive in this dog eat dog world of business.
DeleteGoodreads is a social networking platform that was launched in January 2007. Goodreads allows users to make reviews on books and allows them to let others know what they're reading as well. Goodreads has over 80 million users and 80 million reviews on their website. Fun Fact: Goodreads supports over 2.3 BILLION books for users to review and recommend. This database of books allows users to search for the book on the website and make a review in a few clicks. However, there are guidelines in place that prevents innapropriate reviews from remaining on a book.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool especially for book worms! I can actually see what books are worth purchasing and reading. Sometimes i would buy books and they turn out to be boring because i didn't have anyone to make an opinion on it. How come I have never heard of this website?
DeleteThis site sounds really good for people looking for a new read! there are so many books out there its always helpful when you have reviews from average people.

ReplyDeleteGoogle plus used to be a social networking platform
It was a social media platform operated by google. Linked other google platforms together such as YouTube and Blogger.
Google Plus accumulated over 2 billion users but only had 395 active monthly users.
It also changed the way YouTube accounts were made. Now YouTube Channels share the same name as the Google Plus account linked to it.
Google Plus was eventually discontinued "due to low user engagement and disclosed software design flaws that potentially allowed outside developers access to personal information of its users"
It has since been re-branded as "Google Currents"
