Google Docs

Google docs is a relatively new website for storing files and different materials online. It allows the user to edit the file online without having to make more than one copy of it. It is a free website that can manage files of different types including text documents, spreadsheets and other basic file formats. Not only are these files accessible to the person who uploaded them, but the person can also invite other people to work on the project as well. Google docs can be helpful for business, school, and other uses. Many times when a company is working on a project, employees are sending different files in email attachments each time something is changed on the project. Now they don't have to because now they can use google docs. Instead of email attachments from everyone, one person can start the project on google docs. Once it is started, they can invite whoever else they need to work on it as well, all in the same document. This makes everything more organized because instead of having so many copies of such a similar things. Now, instead of caring around usb drives and other portable hard drives, you can just save files to google docs. From there, you can use the file from any computer over the internet and finish or complete whatever it was you were working on. The only problem is that if the internet is down, it is not possible to get to your file at the time. Because google docs is more of a file storage website, then a social networking site, there are no real social, news, or entertainment functions.

Twitter




Twitter started out as a website designed to send updates quickly about your life and things you are doing in-between instant messaging and blogging. Blogging has been around for almost a ten years, blogs can consist of the wildest things ever witnessed or simply how the spaghetti you ate tasted like worms.

The problem is, people don’t always have a computer at their finger tips so blogs aren’t always in real time. Twitter started out as a small website in 2006 and since then it has become a huge social networking sites favored by many.

Even today, Twitter is expanding into our lives even if you do not use it. Just by browsing Verizon’s texting phones, most of their phones come with a pre installed Face book and Twitter app. Twitter has such an impact on people’s lives that companies are making pushes to make it a lot easier. But with success that twitter has brought to bloggers and followers, the social networking site can be used for bad.

Recently Robbers and hackers have turned to the networking giant to decide when its best to break in. By becoming a follower you receive all or most of the blogger's “tweets” and if you are able to learn their schedule Twitter can be abused.

Grades

I think the new grading policy is stupid. I think it is stupid because people who usually get a 91 in a class gets an A- instead of an A. It is harder to get a better grade with this new grading policy.
