Word of Mouth

Word of mouth or viva voce,[1] is the passing of information from person to person by oral communication, which could be as simple as telling someone the time of day. Storytelling is a common form of word-of-mouth communication where one person tells others a story about a real event or something made up. Oral traditionis cultural material and traditions transmitted by word of mouth through successive generations. Storytelling and oral tradition are forms of word of mouth that play important roles in folklore and mythology. Another example of oral communication is oral history—the recording, preservation and interpretation of historical information, based on the personal experiences and opinions of the speaker. Oral history preservation is the field that deals with the care and upkeep of oral history materials collected by word of mouth, whatever format they may be in.
In marketing, word-of-mouth communication (WOM) involves the passing of information between a non-commercial communicator (i.e. someone who is not rewarded) and a receiver concerning a brand, a product, or a service.[2] When WOM is mediated through electronic means, the resulting electronic word of mouth(eWoM) refers to any statement consumers share via the Internet (e.g., web sites, social networks, instant messages, news feeds) about a product, service, brand, or company.[3] eWOM is typically executed via social media or social networking platforms.[4] The process in which the sender of word-of-mouth communication is rewarded is referred to as word-of-mouth marketing. This process relies on the added credibility of person-to-person communication, a personal recommendation.[5]Using WOM as an opposing force to commercially motivated word-of-mouth marketing has been coined Proconsumer WOM.[6] Researchers have formulated a series of recommendations for how nonprofits and public sector organizations can utilize Proconsumer WOM effectively.

Why it is important to clean up the phone storage very frequently?

Why it is important to clean up the phone storage very frequently? IMO I would clean it weekly once as a habit which helps me, 1. To stay organized. I always rush when downloading/copying to downloads and sometimes if I miss it for couple of weeks then it would be like recycle bin. 2. In making me aware of what I have in my phone. Because I don't want to keep any confidential items without knowing. 3. In deleting unused folders as I tend to install many new apps to try out and that would have left several folders which I don't need. 4. To have overall consistent performance by removing unwanted files. When you have less space or more files that would slow down the performance as it had to index it all the time. 5. Several apps like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and news apps will create lots of cache and removing it frequently will help that app to perform well. 6. To check the backup status of important photos and videos as I don't rely on keepin...

Oral Communication

Communication  (from Latin  commūnicāre , meaning "to share" [1] ) is the act of conveying intended  meaning  to another entity through the use of mutually understood  signs  and  semiotic  rules. The basic steps of communication are the forming of communicative intent, message composition, message encoding, transmission of signal, reception of signal, message decoding and finally interpretation of the message by the recipient. The study of communication can be divided into  communication studies , which concerns only human communication, and  biosemiotics , which examines the communication of organisms in general. Communication is usually visual, auditory, or biochemical, while human communication is unique for its extensive use of language .
