WEEK 11 E-BUSINESS QUESTIONS

Exercise - select five applications that you have not heard of before from Popular URL's Web 2.0 awards or the webware awards and describe on your blog page how they could be useful to a business.

Picassa – would be good to use for a business that is in the photography sector as they could upload their photos to their website using Picassa to show off their talented photography.

Ehow – would be good to have as a search and reference function as it could give any customers with any confusion a way to follow step by step instructions for certain tasks, such as, how to buy online.

Mint – could be used internally at small business to see where their revenues and expenditures come from. This would be only effective for small businesses as there are fewer transactions to manage and a lower cost rather then seeing a full time accountant.

Paypal – I know of paypal but it is the most trusted way of buying or selling on the internet and every business that has an online presence should have a paypal option available to buy the goods or services.

Google Calendar – could be used internally so then everyone can see when people are on leave and what events are scheduled throughout the year. They could also use it to have deadlines on to make sure these deadlines are reached
