...ABSTRACT “We don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services. And we think this is a good way to build something”- Mark Zuckerberg. With the launch of Facebook, the success and its reach to pinnacle was never doubted. . Initially started by the transformation of Face books; Harvard's paper-backed students directory with the entries regarding bio-data of freshmen, into an online website called Facemash where two photos were randomly being put to be voted who is best, that turned out to be serious business with significant profit potential. As the idea of Facemash was decreed by the school authority an insulting act prompting Zuckerberg to pull the site down, this fall had made Zuckerberg look for a plan to elevate the website to yet another level i.e. by entering into the then nascent social networking arena. This led to the major breakthrough for Facebook’s development. The social networking site introduced initially with the name 'The Facebook' within no time garnered huge amount of signups and registrations, accompanied by downpour of requests from various other schools asking Zuckerberg to avail them with the similar networking site for their school or the license to use the platform established by Facebook for the development of their own networking website for the school. Every development comes with its own flaws Facebook was not an exception. The success triggered various opportunities and problems that were required to be handled...

...your own research and ideas. • proves you have read and understand your sources. • establishes your work as a valid source and you as a competent researcher. An annotated bibliography is a list of sources and includes APA formatted references to the articles, books and resources (all which should have been found through the Liberty University Online Library) which one has compiled for a research assignment. Following each reference is a brief description and an evaluation of the source. The purpose of an annotated bibliography is to benefit the researcher and provide the content, relevance and quality of the sources. Do NOT simply cut and past the abstract as the annotation, as they are not the same. Abstracts are summaries of a source, whereas annotations also include a short summary. Abstracts include a critical aspect to note the source’s author (why should s/he be considered an expert) and they explain the usefulness of the research being performed. Along with being an excellent source for APA formatting guidelines, The Owl at Purdue has helpful information regarding annotated bibliographies and also provides helpful examples. You can expect to keep copies of the annotated bibliography...

An executive summary differs from an abstract in that an abstract will usually be shorter and is intended to provide a neutral overview or orientation rather than being a condensed version of the full document. Abstracts are extensively used in academic research where the concept of the executive summary would be meaningless.

GANDHI, A. HUSSEIN, K. MANOHARON. N. NURU S. CHANDE, C. CHAHAL, N. GANDHI, A. HUSSEIN, K. MANOHARON. N. NURU THE PROPOSAL There were 15 million discharge summaries produced for admissions into hospital last year. A staggering 80% of these were found to be inaccurate or incomplete and another 70% of these were reported as being severely delayed on a regular basis. This compromise to clinical care and patient safety is simply unacceptable. Our empirical market research has found that the majority of junior doctors, the principal users of discharge forms, were unhappy with the current systems in place. It has also been reported that on average junior doctors spend more time carrying out admin duties than in formal training and teaching sessions. There are electronic discharge systems present however, these have been described as insufficient as they lack comprehensive coding and in some circumstances...

...UW-Madison Writing Center Writer's Handbook offers advice on writing abstracts and answers questions such as: including: • What is an abstract? • Do abstracts vary by discipline? • What should an abstract include? • What should each section of the abstract look like? (objective, method, results, conclusion, title) • What if my project isn't finished or my results didn't turn out as expected? • How can I fit all of this into just 125 words? • How should I start writing my abstract? • What stylistic techniques will improve my abstract? • What kind of feedback should I get on my abstract? On the "Abstracts: Examples" page, you will also find sample Undergraduate Symposium abstracts from a variety of disciplines. What is an abstract? An abstract is a concise summary of a larger project (a thesis, research report, performance, service project, etc.) that concisely describes the content and scope of the project and identifies the project’s objective, its methodology and its findings, conclusions, or intended results. Remember that your abstract is a description of your project (what you specifically are doing) and not a description of your topic (whatever you’re doing the project on). It is easy to get these two types of description confused. Since abstracts are generally very short, it’s important that you don’t get bogged down in a summary of the entire background of your topic. As you are writing your abstract, stop at the end of every sentence and make sure you are summarizingthe...

...APA CHEAT SHEET A Guide to Getting It Together Jaycee Hower South Piedmont Community College Abstract A summary of your paper that introduces your reader to the topic you are about to discuss and its’ main points (Bullock, Goggin & Weinberg 2013, p562). There are 3 different types of major abstracts, there are Information Abstract, Descriptive Abstract & Proposal Abstract. Informative Abstracts state in one paragraph the essence of a whole paper about a study or a research project. That one paragraph must mention all the main points of parts of the paper: a description of the study or project, its methods, the results, and the conclusions. (Bullock, Goggin & Weinberg 2013, p150). Description Abstracts are usually much briefer then informative abstracts and provide much less information. Rather than summarizing the entire paper, a descriptive abstract functions more as a teaser, proving a quick overview that invites the reader to read the whole. And last but not least Proposal Abstracts contain the same basic information as informative abstracts, but their purpose is very different. You prepare proposal abstracts to persuade someone to let you write on a topic, pursue a project, conduct an experiment, or present a paper at a scholarly conference.

Foreign Literature Social network is defined as the grouping of individuals into particular groups that centre on reflecting and building of social relations or social network among people, for instance, people who share activities, interest, posting information, comment, and images (Carrington, Scott and Wasserman, 2005). Teenagers are among the most prolific users of social network sites. This kind of communication is seen very common with teens as they perceive it as a network for them to improve some aspects in their life or even in their studies through information provided in the internet.

...Unit 3 Individual Project Craig Larsen American Intercontinental University Abstract Within this assignment one will see the reasoning for identifying these 3 firms (Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn) and why they are worthy of pursuing, and what category they fall into like low-hanging fruit, home runs, or singles. It will cover the risk of each firm also the positive or negative public relations effect on each opportunity chosen. For this assignment I choose the 3 main social networking sites available today; Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn. Facebook - Facebook is a social networking site that was first launched in 2004. (Eldon, 2008) Facebook is definitely the number one site throughout the globe when it comes to social networking. Through the years Facebook has had some tough competition and has seen many ups and down’s from various lawsuits, but it is still arguably the most popular social networking site used today. (Facebook, 2012) Marketing Opportunity - This site would be an exceptional marketing opportunity to market clothing to college students across the globe or around the world. This would be achievable because of the popularity of Facebook. As we already know, Facebook is used by many if not most of these students, so I would suggest that they branch out and try to use this opportunity. Categorization of Opportunity - Home run Risk of Opportunity - The problem with this opportunity is that it is such a popular site that the students...

...ABSTRACT This literature review will discuss the impact facebook has on productivity levels within an organisation. The initial facebook users were comprised of college students that could meet at a place online and socialise as well as being able to share pictures with each other. However, in recent times, facebook can now be accessed by anyone around the world ' with almost 100,000 people joining up every day. Due to the hype of this new socialising phenomenon, organisations are beginning to fear that accessing sites such as facebook during working hours will have a negative impact on productivity levels ' which is the bases as to why this literature review is being conducted. The gap that this literature review will attempt to fill is to clarify that facebook could prove to be beneficial tool for a company as it will be a method of not only reducing employee stress but it is also a way of keeping in touch with everyone ' including clients as well as potential clients. Therefore with the aid of textual references ' as listed in the annotated reference list, this literature review will discuss the impacts of facebook. The literature review will also discuss the positives and negatives that facebook poses on a business as well as the potential that can be gained when using this socialising tool in an appropriate business manner.

In Facebook, a user can download online personalquizzes that allows him/her to compare results withother users. In Facebook, a user is being notified on the latestupdates and status of each of his/her network of friends. Through these observations, new learningand discoveries are being acquired. In Facebook, online games are becoming morecompetitive because most applications send updateson the status and level of performance of the users.Through these observations, friendly competitions mayarise. In Facebook, a user can write a note or blog, and hasthe option whether to comment on and/or like a certainpost. This mechanism encourages peer pressureonline. In Facebook, a user can be a victim of false judgmentand harsh statements made by mischievous andinsecure friends and contacts.
