Social networking sites

While visiting Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat, there were quite a few explicit similarities and differences that I noticed. Facebook is definitely more well known and has twice as much users than the other 3 platforms, and I would say its more informative as far as random facts or news is concerned. Whereas, Snapchat is more animated and colorful than Facebook, although Facebook just added filters like Snapchat, but its not the same experience as Snapchat. In addition, Snapchat is completely different as it just updated its new map so you can see where your friends are at and a option to go ghost so no one can see your location, which neither Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram has at the moment.

AI stock picking machines that will work on algorithms which will produce projections of stock whether to buy or sell or hold a stock.These projections will be based on data and information by social media, news, company valuations and other sources. I imagine this product to imitate Amazon's Alexa or Google's Echo and use language to communicate with the machine.

Blogs vs Wiki

According to Wikipedia, "Blogs differs from Wikis by the content that is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users." The way I understand the difference is looking at Wikis as a page that is constantly edited for accuracy on a subjective topic, while blogs are a thread of ideas of individuals giving their opinions across a platform such Reddit.

Here is my so-called, "Bitmoji" which associated with Snapchat the disappearing image sender. I downloaded the Bimoji app and started to customize my avatar by going through an array of selections such as gender, hair style, facial structure, clothes, skin color, eye size, and I also was able to position my Bitmoji holding a drink by choosing from a selection of other styles and positions. Now I can use this instead of a traditional emoji. I am sure most students would upload their Bitmjoi on their assignment as its the most trending in the avatar circle.
