What is the difference between online creation tools and applications?
The difference between online creation tools and applications is that, online creation tools are executed on web browsers while applications are software installed on a computer. For instance, a tool for manipulating images, unlike Photoshop, Photopea is an online editing platform run on web browsers while Photoshop is an application installed and run on a computer, however, the two are largely identical in terms of usage.
What are online platforms?
Online platform is a range of services available on the Internet including marketplaces, search engines, social media, creative content outlets, app stores, communications services, payment systems, services comprising the so-called “collaborative” or “gig” economy, and much more.
Examples:
• Facebook, a widely know social media platform which can only be accessed with the use of internet through a webpage or an app. It is commonly used for communication and entertainment purposes.
• Twitter, similar to Facebook, this can also be accessed with the use of internet through a webpage or an app, it's common difference is that Twitter is more on news and info topic rather than communication.
• YouTube, an online video sharing and social media platform. YouTube is a video sharing service that allows users to watch videos posted by other users and upload videos of their own. This can also be accessed with the use of internet through web browsers or an app.
