The Social web is a specified term for the World Wide Web as a kind of Social Media. The term is currently used to describe how people socialize or interact with each other throughout the web. The Social Web mostly refers to Social networking, MySpace for example, and content-sharing sites (which also offer a Social networking functionality) within Web 2.0. These Social websites are mostly formed around the connections of people of the same interest, but there are several theories that specify exactly how this formation works.

...Use of Social Media in Recruiting Think about the things you do when applying for a new job – anything from perfecting your cover letter and resume prior to applying to dressing nicely for the interview. You do everything you can to present the best version of yourself to the potential employer that you’ll be meeting with. But have you thought to prepare your social media accounts, too? With the rising usage of social media, “…it’s no surprise some recruiters and hiring managers are tuning in” (Smith) – but should it be used in the recruiting process? In Favor There are many pro’s to using social media when recruiting new talent – here I will discuss four points that you may not have considered before. First, social media allows the employer to see a more genuine version of the candidate, and that doesn’t always mean bringing light to negative attributes. A CareerBuilder survey found that 29% of surveyed hiring managers found something positive on a profile that drove them to offer the candidate a job (Smith). Websites like LinkedIn allow professionals to present their resume, showcase their interests and volunteer work, present more casual recommendations and endorsements that may not have a place in a resume, and show what professional organizations someone belongs to – all things that are important to understanding who a person is, but not things that will always come up in an interview. Second, social media gives employers the opportunity to target specific job...

With the advancement of the social websites and 2.0 which is a more interactive arena. “Typically people use Twitter to discuss some of the mundane activities that they do during the day. You are simply answering the question: What are you doing?” according to our text. If a teenager has a group of their friends following them then they could potentially have a full conversation on twitter that is the past could have been done on email. The same is for Facebook, if a teenager is looking to have a more private conversation that can now be done my sending a direct message on a social website or using a chat messaging system. I think that most teens see email use as used strictly for professional and educational uses not social. So yes in the sense of social emailing it can be considered dead.

Whether it’s buying, selling, gathering information, managing, or communicating, the driving force behind the evolutionary and revolutionary business is the Internet and its technological advances. 9.1 E-commerce and the Internet Take a moment and reflect back on your shopping experiences over the last year. Did any of them not involve using the Internet in one way or another? Perhaps you simply used the Internet to research the cost of products without actually purchasing a product or service online. Perhaps you emailed a company to get an answer to a question you had about a product after you purchased it at a regular brick-and-mortar store. Or, maybe you compared prices between two businesses to get the best deal. If you did any of these you are among the growing legions that rely on the Internet as a new way of conducting business and commerce. E-Commerce Today The text provides useful statistics to demonstrate the solid growth in e-commerce. Many companies that failed during the “dot.com” bust did so because they didn’t have solid business plans, not because e-commerce as a whole wasn’t a good idea. The Internet has proved to be the perfect vehicle for e-commerce because of its open standards and structure. No other methodology or technology has proven to work as well as the Internet...

Make sure to provide the references used in your writing. *Web 2.0 is based on Web 1.0 but is the second generation in the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 refers to the numerous improvements made to the World Wide Web like blogs, wikis, social networking, and web applications. The big improvement in Web 2.0 is the availability of interactions that was not available in Web 1.0. Users now can be in online communities and share information on the web. Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are the examples that come to my mind since they are so interactive. All three are free applications that users can communicate and share information with others. Web 3.0 is still in its early stages but is based on the idea that the internet actually understands the information and can make logical connections between information. The web will actually be able to take information from 2.0 and 3.0 from individual users and be able to get content that is relative to the user. The goal is for users to feel like they have a personal assistant that knows everything about the user and can access any information the user will need in an instant. Since Web 3.0 is still in the beginning stages there aren’t many examples of it yet; however, I believe that Apple’s Siri is a very good example of the beginnings of Web 3.0. Apple’s products...
