Week 9 - Signal Review

 Hello, I just did a quick look at "Signal" and here is my overview in a "Nutshell".

    Signal is a private messenger app similar to other messenger apps like WhatsApp.  It seems to have good security and privacy.  It is simple to sign up and there is no need to use your last name so that helps with privacy.  You can create groups and enjoy messaging in private.  Well that's it in a "Nutshell".

Meta Blog Post (Week 5)

 

Reading about Facebook rebranding to meta was very interesting.  I did not know a lot about this but it does seem to be the next revolution into social media.  Although it is just beginning and not many really know where it will go it does seem to be some type of virtual social media platform where individuals can "meet" virtually.  The concept seems intriguing to me.   If you have friends in different parts of the county or world you may be able to sit with them in your living room and have a discussion and some type of interaction.  Some even see this going so far as having your hologram appear in some ones house or other location and be able to interact.  I certainly see this as an exciting opportunity to move towards the next social media outlet.
