Delicious

I've always heard about this site but never bothered to look in to it. I didn't really get it at first, but the more I went through it, the more i saw its potential. I like the fact that it can be accessed from any computer, since most people use a number of different computers during any given day. I also see the way that Delicious can be used for academic research, and I will actually try and use this site on my upcoming research papers.

Facebook and myspace

I have been using Myspace for as long as i can remember, and Facebook for the last four years. In high school they were the base to my social life, and now that I'm older they are a great way to stay connected to old friends. Even though i have both, i use Facebook almost exclusively, as i see it a little less juvenile then Myspace. I can see why both these sites have gained such popularity, especially with the youth population, as it allows one to let the world know about them. I'm happy to see the library embrace these sites, hopefully making more youths become interested in us.

Twitter

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"-- One of the longest movies I've watched, but well worth the time. Must see

I don't really see the purpose of twitter. Facebook has a similar option where you can check the status of your friends. Twitter seems to be a simple form of that website

the program so far

I think the program so far is going good. I'm beginning to understand more and more about Web 2.0 as I go on. I hope to see how much more I will learn in the weeks to come.
