BLOGS RELATED TO BUSINESS/FINANCIAL

Naked Capitalism as an effort to promote critical thinking through the medium of a finance and economics blog. It started writing because there was an obvious underreporting in the US of the severity and extent of the underpricing of risk in all credit instruments. It didn’t take any great insight to recognize that. It’s hard to state emphatically enough how obvious it was to someone with reasonable financial markets experience who simply read the Financial Times and Bloomberg that the official narrative was a crock.

This is a blog created by Dr. Kedrosky, he is an investor, speaker, writer, and entrepreneur. One of the reason why this blog is very popular is because he has demonstrated his unerring ability to enter fast growing markets before they take off, and exit before they have grown large enough to deliver an island-purchasing exit.

The site provides concise and very accessible summaries of all the key economic data and developments. This blog began in 2005 because there was a disaster brewing in the form of the housing bubble, and tried to do the best with this blog to warn the rest of us of what was coming.

BLOGS RELATED TO ENTERTAIMENT

This is one of the most known blogs related to entertainment because they most of the time public any news about a celebrity before others. In addition, they also have a television show in which they provide to the public with information about almost everything that deals with the entertainment world. Being one of the fastest-growing, most influential properties on the internet.

This blog is awesome. Its treatment of marine life oddities, interesting stories regarding the solar system, and various tech subjects allows the blog to respond to both a wide variety of interests as well as provide a nice balance of fact and entertainment. I really liked this blog due to the fact that it offers a wide variety of articles regarding different subject matters. I chose this blog because of the fact that it not only keeps me entertained but also informed of what is going around the world. This blog as it can be appreciated is not only for Youngers but also for adults because here we can find different topic that we may like.

You can also load subtitles, create and save a playlist, configure video and audio settings you can use basic tools such as play, pause, resume, stop, rewind and forward, adjust the volume and navigate back and forth within the video.

Hence, we can see that we have a huge variety of ways to keep entertained ourselves. All these applications that were showed above keep you entertained.

Selected tool: Google Docs

GOOGLE DOCS

Google Docs is part of a comprehensive package of online applications offered by and associated with Google. This is an important web base application tool with a very open target market because it is very useful for business people as well as students. This tool enables users to create, edit, and download documents and spreadsheet that can be store online among other features. Moreover, files create on this tool can be accessed from any computer with an internet connection and a full feature web browser.

This tool is used online and one of the features that really call my attention is that Google Docs lends itself to collaborative projects in which multiple authors work together in real time from geographically diverse location; all participants can see who made specific document changes and when those alterations were done. In addition, because documents are stored online and can also be stored on users' computers, there is no risk of total data loss as a result of a localized catastrophe that sometimes happen when we are working on important projects. Users of Google Docs can import, create, edit and update documents and spreadsheets in various font s and file formats, combining text with formulas, lists, tables and images. Additionally, Google Docs is compatible with most presentation software and word processor s. Work can be published as a Web page or as a print-ready manuscript. Users can control who sees their work. Google Docs is ideal for publishing within an enterprise, maintaining blogs or composing work for viewing by the general public. However, the internet based nature of Google Docs rise some concerns among some authors because their work may not be too private or secure.

TO CONCLUDE

Google Docs satisfies one need very well: it’s the suite to use if you have a bunch of people who need to work on files at the same time or repeatedly over time. Moreover, with centralized storage, change-tracking, and easy sharing, Google Docs fills that niche perfectly. But for basically any other need, a pure desktop application could be better. Even a program as simple as TextEdit can do more than Google Apps’ Document. There’s just no comparison between Google Docs and either iWork or Microsoft Office. Those native applications give you more features, better interfaces, and superior integration with the OS.

Account on Wordpress

First at all, it is important to describe what is WordPress, this is an online, open source website creation tool written in PHP. Moreover, it is probably the easiest and most powerful blogging in existence today. However, people often make the mistake of classifying WordPress as just a blogging platform. Although that used to be true in the past, WordPress has evolved through out the years into a versatile content management system or CMS. While you can still use WordPress to create a simple blog, now it also allows you to create fully functional websites and mobile applications. The best part about WordPress is that it’s easy to use and flexible enough for just about anything. That’s the main reason why WordPress has grown so much in popularity. According to a recent survey, WordPress powers 22.5% of all websites on the internet.

WordPress is a very useful tool specially for companies who want to publish on the web. Additionally, it encompasses very famous blogs, news outlet, music sites, among others; also, WordPress is the most used blog for celebrities and companies. For instance, famous blogs like Mashable and TechCrunch are both on WordPress. News outlets like The New York Times’ blogs and CNN’s on-air personality blogs all use WordPress as well.

If you have ever curious about who uses WordPress, head on over to the WordPress site showcase and you for sure will be impressed by the number of well known sites and famous people that use WordPress to power their websites. One of the reasons might be because WordPress is 100% free
