Glogster

Glogster is a social network where people can communicate with each other. This social network is different from other social networks because the users can create interactive posters. This social network was created in the year 2007 and in 2008 it was selected as the fourth most successful web start-up project.

Glogster is user-friendly because not only is a social network, which normally are easy to use, but also it allows you to insert more things than another social network would do.

The main features are that you can upload music, videos, audio, and pictures. Furthermore, you can write text and you can share it with your friends and colleagues. These features can be considered the advantages of Glogster, apart from allowing you to control the design of your presentation.

Some disadvantages Glogster has are: that the text formatting is limited, the minimum screensize is 1024x768 and also it does not have a chat where people connected online could chat.

Things that you can do with it: Firstly, you can upload photos, graphics, videos, text, music… Secondly, if you belong to some social networks such as Twitter, Myspace or Facebook among others, you can post your Glog on them and share them with all your friends. Furthermore, you can comment on peoples Glogs.

I would recommend using Glogster if you really like technology and if you belong to a social network and use it because this network allows you to do posters which other social networks don’t. I also find that perhaps creating an interactive poster is interesting and different from doing a non interactive poster. However, if you like technology then it is a good way to learn new things.
