An overview of Social Networking

 Hello everyone, my name is Liu Qi and I am a Msc student from EE. I am glad to complete my first assignment in this way. However, this week I have attend twice lecture about this course called Social Networking which is completely different with the courses of my department EE, quite vivid and interesting. Also, I am willing to express and share my perceptions on the blog, meanwhile I wish to communicate with you. 

  From the two weeks classes, I have got the basic understanding of social networking. It turned out that we are familiar with social networking. Some websites we usually use like facebook, twitter and so on are just the examples it. Furthermore, I have an overview of social networking, its facts, definition, characteristics and tasks. However, I am impressed with two points about the social networking, I would like to share them in the following.

  What makes me impressed first is the social brainstorming. In the class, we have known that IBM first put forward the conception of brainstorming. But what is brainstorming? Just like this, we ask a question and people answer it what is brainstorming. This is a small brainsrorming. Moreover, the large brainstorming just like the QQ group and Baidu dieba in the mainland. So, the so-called brainstorming is everywhere in our daily life.

  Moreover I am so impressed with the prediction markets. As we all known shopping online is becoming more and more popular and common because of its convenience. It is very common to see some advertisements on the social networking websites and we can shopping with the links. I consider it is so convenient that we do not need to shop specifically, because we use these social websites everyday and then we just need to see whether we have things to buy. Here I would like to give you some examples, you will see many advertisements on these websites and know how convenient it could be.

 Well, this is my first assignment at CUHK, I am sorry that my poor English may not express my opinions accurately and you may have some questions. I am glad you can give me some suggestions, I expect to communicate with you, thank you.
