Company that uses wikis for collaboration

CORT Business Services uses wikis and blogs to help improve its business.  CORT is a site that rents out office furniture and relocates businesses’ employees.  CORT uses a blog to post updates on bugs or any other problems the website may be having.  This helps to improve productivity and eliminates any confusion that there might be.  CORT requires all employees to subscribe to their blog allowing everyone to see any new changes or announcements the company has.  This keeps them from having to constantly send private emails to each employee.  Using a blog is a great way to increase productivity allowing everyone to share his or her own ideas.  The company announced that since they have adopted this new method they have improved sales and have had very few problems.  Using a blog is a great way to connect all employees at once and makes life a little easier.

Three Favorite Websites

My first favorite website would have to be YouTube.  YouTube is a place where anyone can post his or her own videos for anyone to see.  YouTube has grown to have many different purposes from educational videos to short funny clips and even full shows.  If you have a question on how to do something there is more than likely a video on YouTube that will explain to you step by step how to do it.  YouTube has made some people very famous.  By posting videos that get millions of views this will tend to make you a very popular person.  YouTube has changed the way video media is affecting the world today.  

My second favorite website is ESPN.  I have always been a huge sports fan and this is a place where you can go to catch up on all of the latest sporting news.  As long as I can remember I have been watching Sports Center on ESPN and this makes it easy for you to see updates that you may have missed on the television.  The ESPN website is broken down into categories by sport so it is very easy to navigate through and makes finding what you want easy.  

My third favorite website is Google.  Google has really changed the way people navigate the through the Internet.  Google gives you access to the billions of websites that are out there and makes them easily accessible.  Google will also list websites by key word and give you any relating websites.  This gives you more information than you could ever imagine.
