There are
many different ways of communicating online.
Most of us think of email first and foremost when talking about
communicating online, especially in the workplace. Even though email has been
around for a long time, there were some new things I learned about email rules
and signature files.
This chapter
discussed many other ways of communicating with others that have become more
popular in recent years. Text messaging,
instant messaging, and chat rooms seem to have become “old hat” at this point
in time. Twitter is one of the more
popular ways of communicating online these days. I had never heard of Vlingo, which allows you
to speak into your phone and have what you say get instantly posted to
Twitter. To me, that was something worth
checking out, so I downloaded it to my phone to try it out. http://www.vlingo.com/apps/android
Social
bookmarking sites like Delicious and Digg have been around for a while, but I
hadn’t used either one of them until I took this class. I plan on using both from here on out so that
I can share my bookmarks with others, and use other people’s bookmarks to help
me develop my PLN. While reading further
about social bookmarking, I came across this site below, which is awesome – it
lists all these other sites you can add to your bookmarks, and they’re all in
one place. http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php
