last but not least

I have completed the last exploration and must say, that although I started out reluctantly, and with very little knowledge of Web 2.0, once I got started, I enjoyed learning about these new technologies. I did need more that the posted suggested time to explore all the variables of each exploration, and had to do some at home. However, in the end, I am very glad I had the opportunity to learn about sites and activities that are being used and talked about daily.

The video we watched in Exploration 1 became much clearer and I can see where 2.0 continues to evolve daily. I enjoyed exploring the web 2.0 winners site, and found more that I hadn't heard of at all, so that exposed me to more interactive tools. I thought wetpaint.com was interesting because it combines features of a wiki, blog, social networking sites and forums. This could be useful for some patrons who would like it all in one location, or who might find it easier this way. I did recognize a few sites, like Craigslist, Monster, and Careerbuilder. I have come a long way, and my exploration is far from over, but I think I got a good start with this assignment.
