Puddle of Lecture Blog - Week 5

This week was interesting. We looked at some social networking sites, like twitter, and talked about others like facebook, myspace etc. We also looked at isolatr.com the rejection site for people you just don't like. We were all dubbed as "Social Media Experts". I didn't really know how to feel about that. To me it's more of another name for young tech savvy kids. We were introduced to 'Web2.0', the current state of the internet which includes using social networks as forms of communication, instead of email. The rapid, and constant growth of the internet is also a part of the Web2.0 title, in that it is always new and used for more than just calculations, word processing and emailing. The internet today, was described as a place where people with similar interests communicate through new media on the internet.
