GPS

Today Kike spoke about GPS.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a space-based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.

I think it's a really good invention because it really helps you to find places and guide you.

Then there's something like a game which is planned on the internet. Someone hides a "treasure", that person gives you coordinates and you have to find it. There's also a similar thing but with books.

Dialogue

Soundcloud

Yesterday's speaking class was about SoundCloud. Peter talked about it.

SoundCloud is an online audio distribution platform which allows collaboration, promotion and distribution of audio recordings. It's free, you don't need to pay for uploading, downloding or listening to music. It was founded in Berlin. It was launched in October 2008, there are only 80 employees and it has now about 10 million users.

I already had a SoundCloud account. I mainly use it on my iPod, for listening to music. There's an app (wich is also free) and it's really easy to use. I think it's a really useful website.

RENREN and Facebook

Today's speaking class has been about the differences between RENREN and Facebook. It has been presented by Maite. Here are the most important differences between the Chinese and the American social networks:

·An obvious difference is that RENREN is in Chinese, while in Facebook, here are many languages ​​to
choose.

·You can see who has visited your profile on RENREN, but you can't do that on Facebook.

·RENREN is mostly used by young people but there's people of all ages on Facebook.
