Advantages and disadvantages of
Search Engines
Millions of
people around the world uses search engine almost every walk of their life. We
actually gain a lot of benefits from it. But it also brings us harmful effects.
We can expand our knowledge easily through using search engine. There is no doubt that everyone must have something he did not know. In ancient times when people met difficult things beyond their abilities, they often went for books or knowledgeably persons. But nowadays we can simply put some key words in search box and then in few seconds internet fetches thousands of useful answers will show on your screen. What’s amazing！?
But search engine also has disadvantages. Firstly, search engine shows too much useless information on our screen. Sometimes you even cannot find anything useful from searching results or reliable information. It consumes our time to pick up useful information from millions of searching results. Secondly, those who use search engine frequently may become lazy and information retention rate is reduced. As well people started losing the power of thinking, analyzing and doing calculations. Every time they meet difficulties they just go for search engine. They even do not spend a little time to think of them. Lastly search engine may bring people to various pornographic websites. Those websites are especially harmful for children. And search engine have not found the best way to keep those evil websites from kids now.
Though search engine can benefit us a lot, we need to use it carefully in order to gain what we want and avoid harmful information. Search engine can become a powerful tool to learn new knowledge it also can hurt you. It depends on how you use search engine.

Advantages of social Networks and social Media
•
A
good tool to use to publicize your work
•
Costs
very little money to set up online
•
Easy
to create Facebook groups etc
•
Online
participation can be easier than face to face
•
Cross
border collaboration can be facilitated
•
Social
media is a powerful tool for outreach
•
Massive
potential to reach people
•
Easy
for online campaigns
•
Social
media can be an effective tool to create a movement
Disadvantages of social Networks and social Media
•
Your
message can be caught up in ‘commercial noise’
•
Harder
to gauge participation and commitment
•
Not
as effective as a face-to-face conversation?
•
User
drop-out
•
Hits
do not necessarily indicate attitude change
Social Network Privacy
•
Facebook
currently has over 400 million users
•
Each
of these users specify details about themselves
•
Consider
a social network as a graph, where the vertices are the users in the network,
and the edges are friendship links between those users.
•
Each
node has a finite subset of detail types (hometown, birthdate, groups, books,
etc.)
•
Each
detail type has a finite number of detail values (books = The Bible, Harry
Potter, etc.)
Social Network Model Building
•
We
use these properties to construct three different models:
–
Details
Only
–
Links
Only
–
Average
Friendship Hierarchy
•
Propose
several generic classes of friends:
–
Friend
–
Co-Worker
–
Family
•
Some
classes can have (user-defined) specific sub-classes, such as a Best Friend, a
Boss, a Parent, a child, etc.
Facebook
Facebook environment
-- but my sense is that Facebook is best either for personal connections or
corporate brands and less so for connecting with individuals (who
aren't celebrities) you don't know personally.
Strengths:
Critical mass. Many people joined Facebook simply because
so many other people and businesses they know were there. It's hard to argue
with 750 million users. And it's not just numbers -- people tend to use the
site frequently and stay for a while.
Keeping up with family,
friends and acquaintances.
Brand promotion. When users "like" your company's
Facebook page, they are in essence advertising it to all their other "friends."
Internal analytics. It's fairly easy to get stats about user
activity on a corporate page.
Ease of
engagement. It's exceptionally
simple for users to express an opinion about something by clicking a button.
Additional comment is optional, but that one simple click advertises the item
to a user's social circle.
Weaknesses
Segmenting your life. Google+ appears to be focusing
on this issue by organizing around "circles," allowing an easy way to
target particular posts to friends, family, colleagues, etc. In fact you can do
this on Facebook as well, but Facebook lists are not as easy to find or edit;
nor are they as easy to view as a separate stream.
Privacy. With changing privacy mechanisms and unannounced
changes that occasionally undo prior protections, it's best to assume that
anything and everything you post on Facebook is public. That's fine for most
professional and personal branding activities, but less so for a lot of other
types of personal and professional communications.
Strengths:
Following
interests. This is still my
preferred platform for finding and following interesting people and issues.
Twitter is also
excellent for creating temporary communities around events by use of hashtags.
Brevity. Twitter's short-form restrictions is ideally
suited for an era of microscopic attention spans, allowing people to quickly
scan for items of interest and click through for more when they want to.
Weaknesses:
Brevity. The 140-character limit that's appealing for
some is a frustration for others. Not every important point can be whittled
down to a tweet.
Analytics. While there are plenty of ways to measure the
effect of your own tweets, measuring how much traffic Twitter is generating
overall can be difficult, since so much of it comes from desktop and mobile
clients and not via twitter.com.
LinkedIn
Strengths:
Professional
information. No major social
networking site can touch LinkedIn for information about individual
white-collar professionals as well as career opportunities and company info.
LinkedIn Today. To its credit, LinkedIn is trying to leverage
its large user base for something besides career networking. LinkedIn Today is
the site's effort to promote top-shared content, including breakdowns of
stories by industry.
Weaknesses:
What's a
connection? It used to be that
LinkedIn connections meant something -- for instance, if two people had a
1st-degree connection, you could be confident one had first-hand knowledge
about the other. Now, though, people seem to be connecting with others whom
they barely know, if at all, making the research via networks less useful than
it used to be.
Sharing is still
limited. Sharing content is quite
possible on LinkedIn, but not all that robust; for example, you can't scroll
comments about the items, just see who shared. The site wasn't built for this,
and it shows.
Google+
Although Facebook was
the service designed initially for students, some adult Google+ early adapters
were the ones acting a bit like junior high schoolers.
That's not Google's
fault; and to their credit, Google did open up the Plus reasonably quickly
after demand built up. However, they've been clear from the outset that Google+
is still in test mode and has bugs to work out.Changes are already in the works for later this week.
Strengths:
Segmenting your
life. Plus is built around the
idea that you've got different parts of your life, not all of which are
interested in the same things. This isn't simply about hiding embarrassing
photos from an employer, but understanding that your co-workers may not be
interested in the video of your niece's play while your uncle has no idea what "desktop virtualization" is and wants to tune out any talk of it.
Video chats and hangouts. While Facebook finally did roll out video chat, it's just
one-on-one for now. Google+, meanwhile, offers group chats -- and the ability
to create a "hangout" where anyone invited can drop by as they wish.
This may not have mass appeal, but the ability to ad-hoc video chat with a
couple of colleagues in various locations can be handy, as I discovered last
winter during an Apple FaceTime chat with
several co-workers from home during a snowstorm.
Integration with the
rest of Google. This is the potential
Google+ killer app: a social media platform that's well integrated with
everything from email (Gmail) and office productivity (Google Docs/Apps) to
geolocation (Google Maps) and, yes, search.
Weaknesses:
Difficult to scan. When
I open Google+, often there's just one item taking up the entire opening screen
-- and that's on a 23-inch monitor. As the number of people in my circles
rises, the scrolling required to catch up will become overwhelming. Google
needs to rethink the display on the opening home screen.
Lack of brevity. While some find it freeing not to worry about
tight limits for status updates, some will also abuse that freedom. Having what
could be the equivalent of long-form blogs stacked up from dozens of people in
one's circle may become someone daunting to sift through (one of the many
things that turned me off to Google Buzz).
Lack of critical
mass. Besides the obvious
issue that Google+ is far behind major competitors in social media users, the
service also isn't yet integrated into external Web sites' "share"
buttons.
Why use? This is one of the biggest questions from
skeptics: What's the compelling reason to move to (or add) Google+? You don't
need to be a social media innovator to know that Facebook is a place to collect
brand "fans" and/or find old friends; and, if you're running a
conference, it's wise to publicize a Twitter hashtag. But what's use case for
Google+? The answer may take a while; after all, few people envisioned Twitter
as a crowds ourced breaking-news platform or Facebook as a personalized
ad-serving mechanism during those services' early weeks.
For now, a number of
early adopters are rebalancing their social media efforts to experiment with
Google+ to find out what it does best. Whether you want to as well depends
largely on whether it's important for you (or your company) to be among the
first on a social media platform -- and whether your key customers expect to
find you there.
