Blog: Advice

 Blog: Advice

    I think Baruch College hasn't fully utilized the digital platforms. It's website is not up to par with many other interactive and interesting websites that users have become accustomed to. I would say developing a smartphone app would be the second step after the website development as almost all students use smartphone. The app could provide a single stop shop for all the information or actions that a student might want to access to. Information about the events and courses assignments on the app would reduce students time spent considerably. Also enabling students to setup appointments with advisors and financial aid office staff through the app would reduce the lines at the offices and make life easier for everyone.

    I would also encourage Baruch College to utilize social media platform by creating accounts and groups. I don't see Baruch College posting content regularly and posting valuable content makes all the difference so, I would encourage them to do a survey on what kind of information students find useful and post content related to interested area.

I had the freedom to create instagram story that focus on an interactive prompt where followers could respond back to me and multiple additional features that would enable me to promote products for commission.

Generally speaking a blog post is one person's opinion where people can opt in to have a discussion through comments.  It is geared towards sharing of news, knowledge or expertise.  Being a blogger with huge following allows the blogger to profit through advertisement on their blog site or by using affiliate marketing where they promote products from sponsors.   While blogs allow readers to interact with the blogger through comments it however, doesn't allow them to modify the blog posts.  And this is one key distinction between blogs and wikis.  Wikis are more collaborative due to the fact that they enable readers to modify content that are already posted or even create new content page where othe...

Blog: P2P

 Blog: P2P     File sharing is distributing or providing access to digital media like computer programs, multimedia, documents or anything that is in digital format.      Peep-to-peer file sharing is when people utilize peer-to-peer networking technology to share and distribute digital media.  It allows users to access media files like books, music, movies and even video games using P2P software program.    One of the most prominent P2P software program is BitTorrent. The fact that its application enables faster download, more than 20 million people had already downloaded it back in 2005 according to Wired article. It was surprising to know that people were making a living off of patrons donation who use BitTorrent.     Another example of P2P application was Napster.
