Summer'13

UCSB

This summer I spent six weeks in University of California Santa Barbara taking a pre-college course. After having a great time there studying Biology of Cancer and surfing and going to the beach with my friends I went to Marbella. In Marbella I had a lovely time as well. I have plenty of friends there and had many fun nights. I can't wait to get back!

Summer'13

VideoConference

     Videoconferencing is getting more popular by the minute. Nowadays people do not have to travel to do business because you can call anyone for free or very little money using this new way of communication. You must have heard of Skype, this is the most common program and the one most people use. Nevertheless video conferening doesn't have to be about business there are other programs that allow you to speak with different people from everywhere. For example, Chatroullet.


 Chatroulette is an online chat website that pairs strangers from around the world together for webcam-based conversations. Visitors to the website begin an online chat (text, audio, and video) with another visitor who is chosen at random. At any point, either user may leave the current chat by initiating another random connection  

Google Plus Hangouts is also really popular.You can make group calls where you can sen phtos andmessages when they are not online. You can also have special effects in your call and it is compatible with every type of computer. 

 

Google+

Google + is the new social network made by GOOGLE!

It has lots of features. You can send pics to all of your friends and have a video cal with up to 10 people at once.  You can choose whose updates you see and who you’d like to share yours with. You can broadcast to everyone or keep it private. You can also join public communities around shared interests, or create private communities to get together with just the right people and these are just a few of the features it offers you. 
 
In my oponion, I believe that Google+ is a great social network, even though I personally don't use it, just by researching a bit I discovered how this social netwokr has all of Youtube, Facebook and Twitter combined. You can keep in touch with your friends, upload videas and photos and also be in contact with people you don't know but share things in common. 

I will give it  a 100!!!!!!!!!

Description of diferent social networks

Lore: The new Facebook

 Lore is looking to change how teachers and students communicate. Lore wants to be a mixture of Edmodo, Blackboard, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Lore is a teacher-centric site for you to build a communication around a course. Only teachers could offer invitations to their students before, but now they re-designed letting the students send invitations.

Social Networks Facebook VS Tuenti

Social Networks: Twitter/Facebook/Tuenti

I use several networks like Twitter, Tuenti and Facebook and even though I like all of them I think that Twitter is my favorite because you post whatever you want and you have more privacy than in facebook and Tuenti because you don't uplaod so many photos. 

Even though Twitter is really interesting between Facebook and Tuenti I'll choose Facebook because there are more people on it. Not only Facebook is worl wide but it has much more gadgets in it. Like maps where you can say where you have been and several other thuings. 

I believe that once you start using social networks you should star with tuenti because it is safer than facebook and ewasir to use, therefore, you shouldn't have any problem with it.

GIMP:  is the GNU Image Manipulation Program. It is a freely distributed piece of software for such tasks as photo editing and image composition  It works on many operating systems and in many languages.

This is a screenshot of how the program is designed.

A feature I really like about this is how you can share and help with other users of GIMP making it a nice sociable network to work with.
