Week 7 Assignment: Advantages/Disadvantages VoIP
VoIP is technology that
uses the Internet’s packet-switching capabilities to provide phone
service. There are several advantages
and disadvantages to using VoIP. One advantage is its ability to allow several
telephone calls to occupy the amount of space occupied by one in a
circuit-switched network. Another advantage is that data networks understand
the technology therefore, by migrating to this technology telephone networks
gain immediate ability to communicate similar to computers.
There are however, disadvantages
to using VoIP technology. VoIP is
dependent on wall power; many other systems in your home may be integrated into
the phone line. VoIP is susceptible to hiccups normally associate with home
broadband services because it uses an Internet connection.
Week 7 Assignment: LinkedIn
LinkedIn is a professional
social networking site. LinkedIn is
helpful in provides professional networking, connecting, and job
searching. Members of LinkedIn can
search for jobs; join groups, research companies, and network with members of
their network. Companies post job
listings and they can contact LinkedIn members for recruiting purposes.
The most important aspect of
using the site is your profile. Your
profile is how you connect with other users and how you can be found on
LinkedIn. You LinkedIn profile is
basically your resume. You want to make
sure you are providing the most important details about your skills and
abilities.
I highly recommend LinkedIn
for anyone looking to break into the job market or looking to advance in their
career field.

Week 6: Compare and Contrast Podcast Alley and Podcast.com
Comparing the advantages and disadvantages of Podcast Alley
and Podcast.com was relatively easy.
Podcast.com was too difficult use.
The links provided in my opinion did not navigate you to a podcast but
several other websites for more advertising of the selected topic. Whereas, Podcast Alley provide had a simple
layout. The tabs at the top helped guide
you a little better than Podcast.com.
Another feature of Podcast Alley was the New Top 10 podcast for that
month. All you had to do was select the
podcast subscribe and listen. The tabs
across the top of the website made it easy for you to select. Both websites had several options in regards
to podcast selections, I personally preferred Podcast Alley over
Podcast.com. It was just to frustrating
to navigate through that particular website.
