Class 3 Readings (1/30/08)

What Is Web 2.0

This article gives a great overview of the differences in web 1.0 and web 2.0. This article was very simply laid out and provides the most basic ability for any one to understand differences.

The New Wisdom of the Web

This was an article mostly on my space, but I gather the primary purpose of these types of web sites is so that people may keep in touch with each other. I on the other hand see these types of web sites and nothing more then internet graffiti. It has become a place for kids to say anything the want with out fear of reprisal. I feel that these web sites do nothing more then give them another median for them to create there own propaganda. On the flip side, in the right hands it can also be the greatest tool for friends and relatives to keep in touch worlds apart.

Social Bookmarking
This article is about the uses of “social bookmaking” or make a web page of web page links. This would be something that is useful in a mass media environment, not something that I would recommend for the average individual that is sharing a few links with there friends. This would be a great idea for teacher and alike.
