Why is blogspot an effective method of communication?

Blog spot is an effective method of communication because it can be updated anywhere for example if you have been doing something at work and you need to finish it you can go on a computer at home and continue it. Another good thing is that you don't need to carry around paper you can just save it on a computer and because you are not using any paper it is good for the environment. Also other people can view your work on blogspot and leave feed back this is useful especially when you are doing work and your teacher/ boss needs to look at it. Lastly if you follow a blog you will get email notifications this makes it easy to see when there are new posts.

Risks and Safety Issues.

The are some risks with using blog spot and other social networking sites like someone could hack your account and if you leave yourself logged in people can access your work this is bad because if you worked for a big company like Apple and your computer had secrets about a new iPhone it could cost the company money and you could be fired. Another thing is that if you give out personal information on a social networking site people who you don't know could get hold of personal details like your address and phone number also you could be cyber stalked if someone finds out where you live and pretends to be someone else. Also if you put things like    when you go on holiday it is more likely that someone will  burgle your house. To stop any of this from happening you should not put personal information on social networking sites and if you do have high privacy settings. Also you should change your password regularly to stop people hacking your account.
