QUESTION #5: Instagram or Blogger

-
Which do you prefer for our discussions? I think there are pros and cons to each, and this was a good way to mimic chat rooms. Let me know with a comment.

    I like Blogger better because you can see what comment you are replying to directly, not just the username you are replying to (like on insta)

    I prefer Blogger for the discussions because it is easier to see the comments and replies.

    I prefer Blogger, I feel like it's easier to follow. I like that each question gets its own little page.

    Riley: I prefer Blogger because it's easier to see but it is very annoying that my name doesn't show up and I have to type it in every time

    I liked Blogger better for discussions because I feel like it is easier to type answers and it is bigger so I can understand who is responding to who.

    I like blogger. The only thing I don't like about both of them is that you have to refresh the page to see new responses which can be kind of annoying. - Aakash

    Interesting - I thought you'd all think Blogger too old school! Blogger shows up in Chapter 13 and the money from Blogger funded Twitter.

    I much prefer Instagram because typing my name every time is extremely tedious. I also have spotty Internet, and was having many more problems with Blogger than Instagram, as I can access Instagram from my phone.

      My issue with Instagram is that I get blocked for too much activity.

      Oh, ok. I was just annoyed because my Internet died at one point and it ate my comment so I had to rewrite the whole thing.

    I like Instagram way better because even though I'm on chrome it kept glitching and I wouldn't be able to comment and also I feel like it's less casual :(

    So it looks like we'll stick with blogger. If that's the case, if you weren't commenting with your name, either look in to it yourself or email me. Also, whoever is responsible for the questions for Wednesday needs to send them to me by Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. Also, there will be a few questions tomorrow about Chapter 6 and Amazon so please check in.

    I liked the way Instagram was set up by threads, but I think that Blogger has been easier to view comments. I also liked how each question was on a separate page.

    Maybe we will do a mix of Instagram and Blogger - I will followup when I post the assignment tomorrow. Good job team! I hope you are enjoying the book - I'm enjoying rereading it a lot!

    I like blogger because you can break it up by question, there's less scrolling, and you can view it on a bigger screen. Also for anyone having trouble with the name- create an account!! It took like 5 seconds and made blogger a lot easier to work with :)

      I didn't realize you had to create an account - I've used blogger for so long! Apologies to everyone, but now you know how to get your name on your posts.

Info for Monday

On Monday, there will be two blog posts written by your peers. You must comment on both (and hopefully converse). You do not have to comment on your own if you are posting, but I do hope this is true engagement not just a bunch of unrelated comments. If you are posting Monday, please send me your post by 7 a.m. that day. I have faith it will work - have a good weekend!!

It was originally named Confinity and was started by Peter Thiel and Max Levchin. Paypal was kind of like having a bank account on the internet and became popular with eBay buyers and sellers as an alternative to checks and money orders. Paypal had a competitor called X.com that was founded by Elon Musk. These two companies eventually merged to become Paypal. Paypal started growing very quickly and became profitable early on. They made money by taking a percentage of the transactions made on their platform. eBay eventually bought Paypal but Paypal’s success showed how th...

The Era of the iPhone

by Danielle Hannah Look around you.  Well...maybe not right now. But the next time you’re in public (when it’s safe!), look around you. What percent of the population walks around, eyes glued to a phone with a little drawing of an apple on it? I’d bet good money that most people you see and interact with on a typical day have an iPhone resting comfortably in their back pocket.  So how exactly did we get to this point? The ever popular iPhone 6. Early Deals Apple recognized the need for a good cellular phone, and quickly snagged a deal with Motorola, who would design the hardware and deal with the carriers that controlled cellular networks. It seemed like a home run for Apple. Until they saw the phone in person. It was a clunky, brick of a phone that didn’t align with Apple’s previous products. The deal was scratched. Then Cingular (later AT&T) approached with a deal of their own. The iPhone would be designed solely by Apple, Cingular would...
