Web 2.0: Class Examples

Here are some of your classmates web 2.0 tools for your assigment:

Web 2.0 Assignment
I used Twitter and Google calendar.

1.) Twitter
User name: sharkgrl89
I liked it because:
I didn’t have to keep checking my favorite websites, content comes up automatically so I know when a new article/picture, etc. is posted. I found that to be very convenient and it allowed me to filter out what I wanted to see and I what I didn’t want to see which saves me time.

I also like it because I don’t have to follow just people/friends/celebrities, I’m also following a number of museums and I think that’s what sets Twitter apart from Facebook because of the huge amount of institutions, news groups, etc. that belong to the site.

2.) Google calendar
(The calendar is under my Hartwick e-mail: galluzzoa@hartwick.edu, I don’t know if that is enough information for you to view it?)
I liked it because:
I get updates sent to my email telling me where I need to be/what I need to be doing. I’m used to writing on a piece of paper and taping it onto my wall and let’s just say this is a much better alternative. I like how I can click on the day or look at the month, it really shows me what my week is going to look like and what I need to plan for. This is something I could see myself continuing to use because it’s been so useful for me.

Web 2.0 Assigment
Firstly, I joined YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/dracotheferret I only have one video up as of now, but it’s a really fun site.

Secondly, I joined Mai’Nada Comic Sketch. It’s a community for comic artists to draw on site and share their work with others, plus it records your drawing step by step, making it a neat tool to teach others how to draw. http://www.mainada.net/artist/dracotheferret
