Twitter

As Twitter is a fast growing tool for communication, it allows people to stay connected and share information instantly. The advantage is that the people can follow others around and get the information that is relevant to them. Another advantage is that you can follow celebrities and relevant topics. The disadvantage is identity theft where people can pretend to be someone else. In addition, tweeting limits you to 140 characters, that some people view it as an advantage as it is short and succinct.

LibraryThing

LibraryThing is a website created by Tim Spalding with the purpose of creating a space for online cataloging. I have to be honest, I was not convinced with the practicality of its features at first glance. The site looked too crowed and busy but as I took the tour, I realized the benefits of this site and was surprised with a comprehensive place for book lovers. One of the features that I loved was the the ability to keep track of my collections, the only negative was that I could either share my library with everyone or keep it private but not share with only my selected friends and colleagues.

Online Productivity Tools

The world is constantly changing and it is very expensive to keep updated with the new applications, such as Microsoft Office. For example, just trying Google Calendar, I noticed many advantages over the Microsoft Outlook Calendar. The Google Calendar can be accessed throughout the world without any cost. The other major advantage of Google Calendar was that it automatically connects to Google Maps in order to provide directions to your destination. With just one application, I noticed why people would replace expensive softwares with free online tools.
