Assignment 2

The first step in securing ones respective Facebook and Twitter accounts is to enable HTTPS instead of just your basic HTTP, means that you are securing your communication between the server and your computer. All the information delivered to and from your computer is completely secure.  Another step that can be taken is the use of two step authentication or login approvals. Enabling this service you will be required to use the password and security code sent to your mobile device. Finally one of the last things you can do to secure these accounts is by enabling login notifications which notifies you when someone logs in from a suspicious location or computer.
Google plus – is a great online competitor in online social media and has really set the bar for bringing everything on the web together in one location, its ahead of its time and will probably grow exponentially, but right now for me there isn’t enough for me no one I know is on it and I find it has too much stuff, a lot of bulk for the few features I desire and in particular it takes a learning curve to get the hang of it as it has so many features.
Tweet – is a post or status update on twitter
Re tweet – is sharing someone else’s post
@ - a comment aimed at one user, but visible to the public
# - hashtags, words beginning with a #, help keep track of specific conversations
+1 – supposed to get the conversation going, gives your public stamp of approval
