When I started this journey into web 2.0. I wanted to coincide it with learning how to use one note. Over the weekend I wrote down my thoughts on web 2.0 into one note and then inserted them into my blog today.
I first learnt about the term around 2007 and was enthused about the idea.
The first tool I used was Delicious a site where urls could be stored and organised. This was fantastic as you could add them to the site as you were searching.
Unfortunately early 2011 saw the demise of delicious. This is one of the main downsides of web 2.0 tools. They are created and used and then along comes a better idea. Or they disappear because the creator is no longer interested in the concept.
From the reading I have doubts about the currency of web 2.0 as it was first developed. Most of the research and articles relate to the late part of the first decade of the 21st century. Does this mean web 2.0 has been over taken by social media sites or are they considered part of web 2.0.
Another problem with web 2.0 is that most school networks or organisational networks lock up their networks. This is done in the guise of security and the fear that viruses or hackers will invade the network. There are also issues with access for students and not wanting them to access unsuitable material.
Joy it's great you have explored so many 2.0 technologies & yes the social networking sites seem to be taking over. You are still able to access delicious at http://www.delicious.com/ & yes it has had a fairly major overhaul too.
