Facebook and social media games

Facebook has been the leader in social media games. Millions of people use play these games on a daily basis. A company can get their name out their and gain more business by sponsoring these games. These games are a gift to a company. All companies want their business to have exposure and these games provide such. A company would have to be out of its mind not to take advantage of this, with millions of people going through these games. People will gravitate toward a product from something they like to do. It is a physiological thing that the companies are doing with sponsoring these games. When you play games you feel good, so when a company name comes up in the mist of playing that game, you feel good about that company. Therefore you will buy from them from a sense of emotional trust. Companies will continue use this as a way to make revenue and obtain more exposure.

Dropbox

Dropbox is one of the most used collaboration tool for online. This tool gives the user the ability to send documents, files, articles, videos, and almost everything else on online to others. Since dropbox is compatible with all platforms, tablets, and computer types; this makes it easy for the users to share files or documents with each other. “There are native apps built for Windows, Mac, Ubuntu, Android, iOS and Blackberry. Also, you can access your Dropbox from the internet browser (Bulygin, 2012) My career field is in advertizing and design. I would use this to send the documents of a work in progress or a finished project for the client to review. Since almost all of my clients will be a business of some kind and I will be working from home, this will make it easy and convenient for both me and my client to do business. With dropbox I can send a document or file and the client sees it almost immediately. This increases productivity, decreases time, and saves money. That sounds good for both me and the client.
