Homework #2 (Facebook VS Twitter)

 * How is Facebook and Twitter the same?
 * 1) Facebook and Twitter are both social networking sites.
 * 2) They have unlimited connections (Carlson, 2009).
 * 3) They have status updates that everyone can see.
 * 4) They have real-time search of shared news (Carlson, 2009).
 * 5) They also push updates over SMS (Carlson, 2009).
 * 6) They allow users to update a current status.
 * 7) They also allow users to post pictures and add a comment to those pictures.
 * 8) They allow you to add a new friend.

I think that Facebook is now worried about the rapidly increasing number of the Twitter's users because Twitter is now very popular with its theme called micro-blogging. According to Marketing Oops website, the percentage of global users who visit Twitter (3 month change) is +497.8% compared to the percentage of global users who visit Facebook (3 month change) is +31.41% (Twitter VS Facebook, 2009). Therefore, Facebook tries to copy the way Twitter is and also adds various applications in order to attract more people to become Facebook's users. Furthermore, many popular people have a Twitter such as Taksin, Obama, PM Aphisit, and there are a lot of people follow them. These make Twitter very popular now.
 * Why do you think Facebook is worried about competition from Twitter?

Homework #3 (operating system)

 * Look at different operating system (how many use it)

According to Web measurement company Net Applications,Windows XP's share is 71.8%, Vista's share is 18.8%; however, all versions of Windows still on the market at 93% (as cited by Kaizer, 2009). Compared to Microsoft Windows, Apple's Mac OS X has only 4.9% share. I think that Window XP is the most popular version for people now, and LINUX is a good choice for people to use because it is a free operationg system, and its applications are quite good. Anyway, I think LINUX does not have much users as Window XP. For Apple's Mac OS X, even though Apple products are very boom now in Thailand, the number of people who use Apple's Mac OS X operating system or whaterver version of Mac are quite low because Apple products are quite expensive and if you want to have Mac operating system in your PC, I think it is quite difficult to install in your PC when comparing to other operating systems.

For me, I will choose Mac OS X because of several reasons.
 * What operating systems should install on your notebook?
 * 1) Stability. Because it is based on the first system called UNIX, it is very stable.
 * 2) There is no virus because Mac OS X is spywares and viruses free. Therefore, no need to install an anti-virus.
 * 3) It comes with a lot of various useful applications, such as iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iCal, Mail, GarageBand, Safari (Web Browser).
 * 4) Applications rarely crash.
 * 5) It is easy to install or uninstall the programs. Installing and uninstalling applications is just simply drag and drop.
 * 6) Workflow. Mac doesn’t force you to focus on a single window, but keeps them all visible in the background ensuring a more efficient workflow.
 * 7) I think the design is good, I love it.
