E- tech 4th Quarter

• 1. Social Media Platforms. Websites like Facebook allow you to create not only personal accounts but also pages and groups where you can share comment. The only downside of this is that you are restricted to Facebook’s “one-size fits-all” design which means that no matter the agenda of your page, it will look the same as other pages. This design feature is also present in other social media platforms like Google+. On the plus side, Facebook has billions of users. Linkedln is another example of a social networking site where its focus is on business and professional networking.
• 2. Blogging Platforms. Websites like WordPress, Tumblr, and Blogger focus on content and design. It typically looks like a newsletter where you are given options to change the design to your king. Though you can manipulate the design, social media platform’s popularity is still unrivaled. The amount of customization in blogs is also unrivaled depending on the content management system implemented by the provider.
• Content Management System (CMS) - is a computer application (sometimes online or browser-based) that allows you to publish, edit and manipulate, organize, and delete web content. It is used in blogs, news websites, and shopping.
