corporate context, especially for getting workers the knowledge they need to better
perform their jobs. The academic world can also make use of video conferencing to
connect a traditional classroom setting with students who are based a considerable
distance from the school. A video conference may also be used to conduct regular
meetings with a company staff or to confer with shareholders about the latest activities at
the business. It may be used to announce significant changes at a company, such as

process of connecting people who are complete strangers can be done with the use
of hashtags. Hashtags, which are denoted with the # prefix, like #cats or #worldcup, are
added to Tweets so members of the community can share in the conversation. Users can
even use a website like hashtags.org to find topics that interest them. They can then use
those hashtags to join in the conversations taking place on the subject, ultimately helping
to build online communities based on content
8. Google
 Google is the world's most popular search engine. It began as a search project in 1996 by
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who were two Ph.D. students at Stanford University. They
developed a search engine algorithm that ranked Web pages not just by content and
keywords, but by how many other Web pages linked to each page. This strategy produced
more useful results than other search engines, and led to a rapid increase in Google's Web
search market share. The Google ranking algorithm was later named "PageRank" and was
patented in September of 2001. In only a short time, Google became the number one
search engine in the world.

useful and relevant for its users for virtually any topic. We don't just
trust Google's results, we rely on them in making decisions throughout the day for every
aspect of our lives.

9. Internet
 the Internet is a global wide area network that connects computer systems across the
world. It includes several high-bandwidth data lines that comprise the Internet
"backbone." These lines are connected to major Internet hubs that distribute data to other
locations, such as web
servers and ISPs.

FEATURES
 Geographic Distribution.
 Robust Architecture.
 Near Light Speed.
 Universal Access.
 Internet Growth Rates.

.

 Electronic mail. At least 85% of the inhabitants of cyberspace send and receive e-mail.
Some 20 million e-mail messages cross the Internet every week.
 Research.
 Downloading files.
 Discussion groups. These include public groups, such as those on Usenet, and the private
mailing lists that ListServ manages.
 Interactive games. Who hasn’t tried to hunt down at least one game?
 Education and self-improvement. On-line courses and workshops have found yet another
outlet.
 Friendship and dating. You may be surprised at the number of electronic “personals” that
you can find on the World Wide Web.
 Electronic newspapers and magazines. This category includes late-breaking news,
weather, and sports. We’re likely to see this category leap to the top five in the next
several years.
 Job-hunting. Classified ads are in abundance, but most are for technical positions.
 Shopping. It’s difficult to believe that this category even ranks. It appears that
“cybermalls” are more for curious than serious shoppers.

10.Facebook
 Facebook is a social networking website that was originally designed
for college students, but is now open to anyone 13 years of age or
older. Facebook users can create and customize their own profiles
with photos, videos, and information about themselves. Friends can
browse the profiles of other friends and write messages on their pages.

can see content on your profile.

your friends.

Facebook as a vehicle for social media marketing.
 Facebook's developer network delivers advanced functionality and monetization options.
 You can stream video live using Facebook Live.
  Chat with Facebook friends and family members, or auto-display Facebook pictures with
the Facebook Portal device.

USES
Keep In Touch With Faraway Family and Friends
Think of Facebook as a personal news site where the only stories written are about people you
know. Facebook users like to share photos and write short updates on their life. You might get a
friendly ‘just saying hi!’ email only once a month, but people interact with Facebook on a daily
basis. So every time you log in to Facebook, you’ll see these updates and photos (only the ones
from people who you have friended). You can write a little note underneath their posts. Or send
them a private message (similar to an email but sent through Facebook instead). It’s a great way
to see the everyday lives of friends and family that you can’t see every day.

Share Photos and Information

Facebook is for sharing. And if you want to stay up-to-date with technology, you’ll have to jump
on the Facebook bandwagon. Now when people take digital photos, they – sometimes
immediately – update them to Facebook. They can ‘tag’ other Facebook users in the photo too.
This is the quickest and easiest way to share photos. Instead of using 5 different digital cameras
to capture one photo, you can say, “Don’t bother taking out your camera, I’ll put up my picture
on Facebook.” Another great thing about Facebook is that you can share links to articles or
videos. If you want to send a favorite recipe to someone, you can just copy and paste a link onto
their Facebook page. Or if you see something funny/cool/interesting that you think others would
like, you can post it on Facebook for all of your Facebook friends to see.

Get Your News

Facebook has become a great replacement for my Google Reader. I ‘Like’ all of the Facebook
pages of my favorite blogs, companies, and websites and then all of their updates appear in my
newsfeed all in one place. I’ve even organized my Friends and Pages into separate lists on
Facebook so that I can click one and see all of my friends’ updates and click another and see all
of my news. So although I – and others – spend a lot of time on Facebook, we’re not just flipping
through friends’ photos or stalking old boyfriends. I’m actually reading my favorite blogs and
news sites in a pretty efficient way.

11.Web 2.0, Wikis, Blogs

 Web 2.0 is the term used to describe a variety of
web sites and applications that allow anyone to
create and share online information or material

differs from other types of websites as it does not
require any web design or publishing skills to
participate, making it easy for people to create
and publish or communicate their work to the

 easy and popular way to communicate information to either a select group of people or to
a much wider audience. The University can make use of these tools to communicate with
students, staff and the wider academic community. It can also be an effective way to
communicate and interact with students and research colleagues. There are number of
different types of web 2.0 applications including wikis, blogs, social networking,
folksonomies, podcasting & content hosting services. Many of the most popular websites
are Web 2.0 sites such as Wikipedia, YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Flickr.

community. Wikis can cover a specific topic or subject area. Wikis also make it easy to search or
browse for information. Although primarily text, wikis can also include images, sound
recordings & films. Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org the free internet encyclopedia is the most
well-known wiki.
Blogs
A blog is a contraction of the words web log. Blogs usually provide commentary or information
on a particular issue, event or topic. In some cases, blogs can be about a particular person; an
