Web 2.0

I think i am well aware of web 2.0 tools. I am on the web everyday using different sites, customizing information, adding pictures and connecting with other people on the web. After reading a couple articles and watching a YouTube video on web 2.0, I think that web 2.0 is just the web as it is today and all of the things that we can do with the web. The definition was a little confusing to me but I believe that web 2.0 is just how much more advanced the web is getting and how we are able to add so much more to it ourselves. I completely think that web 2.0 is changing how we interact with people. I know that instead of calling someone to see what they are doing tomorrow or the next day I go on Myspace or Facebook and I write to them or use Facebook's chat to talk with them. It is definitely changing how we interact with each other. Also posting pictures of a fun night that one of my friends couldn't attend and getting a comment from that friend the next day saying they wished they were there. Web 2.0 is definitely changing the web and making it way more customizable and fun.

My First Blog

I never realized how complex blogging really was. It was fairly easy to set up but there were more options involved than I had expected. I really liked that there was a setting to make a cool background to the blog. I am still a little confused on why some people are so into blogging. I don't really get the point. I guess it does help get feelings and ideas out. I don't know if I will ever pick up blogging; maybe if I learn the most common ways in which people use their blogs. As for my first blog, I think it went well.
