Web 2.0 tools review
YouTube is site where anyone can post videos of anything (as long as it doesn't break any laws.) The type of videos you can find are unlimited. If you want to find the trailer for the new movie coming out, you can find it. If you're looking for a guide on a DIY halloween costume, you can find it. That being said, you can often stumble on something you don't to see. The comment sections of videos are often cesspools of 10 year olds and arguments that have nothing to do with the video. However, if you look past those flaws, there are some amazing, hilarious and interesting things you can find on YouTube.
If you stay to only channels you know you like and avoid the comment section, YouTube can easily be a 5/5, but if you take the site for everything it is, it's more of a 4/5, with strict, often unnecessary copyright claims on videos, and some questionable choices by the owners, along with the already mentioned problems. YouTube can be found here .

Discord is a voice communication application that is aimed more towards gamers than Skype is. It features clear communication, useful functions like push-to-talk, being able to raise and lower the volume of specific users in the channel, and the ability to have multiple servers to speak on, instead of the one that Skype limits you to. It also allows an in-game overlay for some games, allowing you to be able to interact with Discord without exiting the game. It is also useful for game live steamers, as you can invite specific people to be in just the chat, to get more specific feedback.
Discord can be found here Discord is a very useful app that easily meets the standard set by Skype for most people, and far surpasses it for those who are more gaming focused. I give Discord a 4.5/5 |
