Social media has allowed us to log on to a space and connect with new friends, reconnect with old ones, network with current or prospect employers, etc. Social networking has allowed us to extend a hand and keep up with “relationships” at a rate of thousands at a time. Social networking truly is for any and all audiences. Anyone that wants to connect for whatever reason is a potential audience member for a social network technology site.
Video Teleconferencing also known as VTC is a communication media technology that permits users at two or more different locations to interact by creating a face-to-face meeting environment. VTC systems transmit bi-directional audio, video and data streams during the session. Usage of VTC has expanded beyond corporation boardroom meetings, (National Security Agency, 2011).
Online Media Databases are something I am personally familiar with. My last employer was an Online Media Database company. An Online Database is a place where any type of information can be stored in large amounts on the web. The information can be accessed from anywhere as long as you have Internet.
As we’ve learned since day one of this course blogs are an ever-growing form of media technology. It may be interesting for you to know that “like with the start of many things, early bloggers did not have a name for what they were doing. While it took some time for the genre and the name to develop, blogging has been around since the beginning of the Internet,(Blogstar, 2011). Now that people have gotten the word out that you can blog about anything and everything, thousands of us are creating blogs to share our thoughts and opinions about a topic we are passionate about. The audience for blogging is anyone that wants to have a voice and be heard.
