HW#2 Twitter Faceoff

1) How is Facebook and Twitter the same?
 * Facebook and Twitter is the same for many reasons. Firstly, they are both online communities where you can socialize with friends or other people all over the over. They both allow you to add or "follow" your friends online and see what they are doing or what they want to update. Basically, you can be updated on how your friends are doing at the moment. Facebook and Twitter both allow you to update your status or the stories that you want to share. Your friends can see what your status is and leave a short comment on it.

2) Why do you think Facebook is worried about competition from Twitter?
 * I think that Facebook is worried because Twitter has similar features that Facebook has. Twitter is also becoming more popular considering that many famous hollywood stars or people are using twitter to update their schdules, so their fanclub can follow easily. Twitter also is sort of "safer" than Facebook because all you can do is update status, where as in Facebook comments and photos are posted. That's why many celebrities use twitters instead so that fans can also "follow" them and keep in track with their updates. Basically Twitter is almost like a blog that you tell your topics and then tell more stories about it. You can write in the whole essay while facebook doesn't have because sometimes people want to use twitter as their diary to tell some story to other people or their friends. Therefore, Facebook could be worried because of the popularity it is getting from celebrities and people around the world. Moreover, Twitter can keep you update stories and you can go back and read like blog but facebook like more community that people always update thier status in short time then change to another status which some people may not catch it becasue it very fast and your frinds also update their things, so it hard to go back ad look for the previous one.

HW#3 What operating system should install on your netbook?

In my opinion, if i buy a new netbook, i would prefer to install Linux to be my operating system. As netbook is the computer that specific on getting on the internet and do some less complicated work than laptops do. Do not need to do photoshop, play game(outside of Web-based games), etc. Thus, there are no need to install big operating system like winsdow in order to save the space on the computer and one thing any purchaser of a netbook should know is that space is primary factor. Linux is suite for networking operating system because it works well with other Operating System. it’s secure. Also, it’s fast. Moreover,linux is costless than other OSes.
