Intuitiveness from a design standpoint is critical for users to attain mastery of an application, and is especially critical during the system error and recovery processes as well. Contrary to the myth of usability being non-quantifiable, there are many excellent frameworks and methodologies for evaluating its total value and relevance to software design (Seffah, Metzker, 2004). The continual evolution of software is in fact starting to mimic the look, feel and navigational aspects of social media applications including Facebook, Twitter and others. Making applications easy to use, solve errors in, and quickly learned is what Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites are concentrating on today. No longer is the design of any application judged by the depth and complexity of features, today all applications are increasingly judged by the level of usability and intuitiveness they provide. Through the use of methodologies and reach techniques that are based on social sciences incouding sociology and psychology, it is possible...

The need has never been greater for software companies to provide unique user experiences that can be easily tailored to their unique needs as well. The insights into intuitiveness need to guide these avenues of development, that give users the opportunity to create application interfaces that are more aligned to how they think and use software. That is the future of intuitive software design.

Twitter Evaluating Twitter as a Communications, Collaboration And Teaching Tool The ability to quickly connect, collaborate and learn from others is one of the most valuable aspects of social media today.

Twitter, if anything, prevents information overload to its users, giving them a limit to the information posted, but at the same time (and ideally), succinctly capturing the thoughts of the user for that particular time. "What are you doing?" is just a catalyst, a platform from which users can take on to 'launch' and begin their throught process, and come up with an interesting, informative, and/or thought-provoking tweet. Twitter and

The breach itself remains mysterious and there are not any definitive theories that have approached a complete breakdown of how this breach occurred. Ngak (2013) proposed that "A hacking group going by the name of the Syrian Electric Army has claimed that they are responsible for the breaches. Typically, the hackers spread political messages and misinformation." No real concrete data has been gathered about this group and has not been confirmed

Academic Writing and Critical Thinking The issue this paper will be discussing is the new attributes of information and, particularly, of the way the information moves around from individual to individual. It will look at different perspectives and different practical situation to argue that communication and information exchange is nowadays different. It will also seek to understand in more details the factors that have led to all these informational changes and
