Video Game Consoles

the spreadsheet I have created is about the three most popular video game consoles on the market today and there total sales up to current date . I thought it would be interesting to see what systems people own and or would like to own  considering one out of every three Americans own one and that number keeps rising.

Book report Facebook Marketing


                                         Facebook Marketing
Everybody that owns a business usually share common goals. Goals such as gaining profit , Growing and Expanding , and minimize spending. One great way of achieving this is through social media web sites such as Facebook. Facebook is the second largest and most visited web site on the internet and with it being free it is the best way to market anything . It is as simple as joining the Facebook community. As a business all you need to do to get started with your Facebook marketing experience is simply to create a Facebook page for your business. The Facebook page you create will be the face of your organization on Facebook , it’s what gives your business a presence and helps promote you and your business . With the creation of your page fans of your organization and/or business will be able to follow you and comment on your wall with things like positive feedback and rate you and your business.

There are so many benefits to having your business marketed on face book. Visibility is key, people searching over most major search engines,  such as Google and Yahoo, will be able to find your Facebook. This helps broaden your audience much further than being just localized on the Facebook web site. Followers on a Facebook page is not limited unlike some social media sites and a normal Facebook page that set a limit to about 5000 followers or members. This means a maximum flow of traffic through your advertisement at no cost to you. Facebook has numerous ways for potential customers to view your content without them having to follow of like your page, by updating content posted on your page friends of your fans also see and experience your content by seeing updates you post from your page to their friends News Feed.  Adding interesting discussion topics to your Facebook page and inviting your fans to take part in it is a great way to expand on your marketing and having their friends see the updates and getting them interested in your page as well . Adding promotion only for your fans such as a special one-time offer or 10% off code not only will up your sales but make your fans feel that they are appreciated as well as have others follow for the promotional items.

Getting people to follow your page can have a bumpy start, but there are plenty of ways to to launch what can seem to be a tedious process. Your personal Facebook page is a good place to start adding your personal friends and acquaintances. Once you have the ball rolling there their friends can start seeing updates on the page that you are marketing  . One you have a sufficient amount of followers hold a contest , give something away everybody likes a good contest.

Personalized computers dont even have to have a traditional case in one of my pictures I have every thing just attached to a plastic board that I made from old parts sitting around my house. another Picture I added was one of a plexiglass custom case which i just think is completely awesome. The possibility of customizing your pc is endless. Heres my URL to my slide show hope you enjoy

History of Windows

During my research on Windows I came across a great wiki on the Wikipedia web site.It goes through the history of Microsoft Windows . Windows was announced in 1983 , nearly 30 years ago , and is still the worlds standard computer operating system in the world . The Windows family consists of many operating systems starting with Windows 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.1, nt 3.1, 95, NT 4.0, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Server 2003, Vista, and last but not least windows 7. Many Years have made the company what it is and what it has accomplished today. Not all of these operating systems were perfect, as a matter of fact lots of them were complete dump, the latest being Windows Vista. The history of the Windows products is vastly interesting to any one interested and if you would like to read about it the URL is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Microsoft_Windows

tablets

Not being the biggest apple fan in the world I do have to give them some credit where it is due, the Ipad. In my opinion the Ipad , for the time being , blows the competition out of the water. with sales in 2011 reaching 40 million its easy to see that they have the tablet market on lock down. One of Apples most determined competitors in the tablet market the Motorola Xoom was only expecting sales to be between 1.3 million units to 1.5 million. With more companies competing to be on top of the tablet market we are seeing a vast variety of tablets to reach the market companies like Amazon , Sony , Dell, and many more diving head first into tablets who knows what the near future has in store for us.

range of games

PCs have a considerably larger library of games available than Mac computers due to the PCs traditional use as a gaming machine. Many computer games are release for Mac much later than they are released for PC, or they are not released for Mac at all. Mac computers with a custom form factor, such as the iMac or the Mac mini, also do not have upgradeable processors or graphics cards which is most vital for gaming performance, are not upgradable . As of February 2011, the Mac Pro is the only Mac computer than can upgrade these components and add other new components using PCI slots.windows based pc's on the other hand are capable of upgrading almost ant component in the tower, upgrades such as crossfireX which allow the user to run two video cards at once  make the windows based pc much more apt for video gamers world wide.
