Hello All!
Today, my post will be regarding my impressions of both flickr (a photo database) and del.ici.ous (a handy way to tag sites of interest on the web).
Flickr is a great way to store your collection of photos online as well as find others submitted by other users that you may like. A user may also choose to add commentary to various parts of photo to add info about the piece. Already, I've cobbled together a modest collection of favorite photos.
del.ici.ous, on the other hand, is a site that is very fun to work with; it acts as a more advanced favorites list for your browser allowing you to sort you sites of interest into categories, with various tags applied to them for sorting.
In the future, I will probably keep constant use with del.ici.ous; flickr is a good site, but I'm currently not all that interested in photography at the moment. Perhaps later...

Tricky Tricky Wiki
Hello All!
This entry will be about my opinion and thoughts on the uses of wiki software.
For me, this software can prove useful as it can allow a group of individuals focused on a particular subject to sort and edit their combined knowledge in one place, allowing for easy viewing and editing as newer data pours in. I've known of many wikis before this class, but I look forward to learning all that I possibly can in order to truly be able to manipulate the features of the wiki pages that I create.
Yours Truly,
Enyal

Web 2.0 - 100% better than Web 1.0!
Hey All!
Just writing to talk of Web 2.0, a term generally bandied about by today's computer engineers and web designers. But how do we - the general laymen, so to speak - relate? More importantly, what is it? Here I'll give three points of info that will hopefully show what I think.
1) Before I even started this class, I had a general idea of what the phrase "Web 2.0" meant: an online community of both general users and online designers, whom seek various things from the network - various bits of info and data, or a freedom with which to create within the online expanse - in order to accomplish their objective or satisify their curiousity. Working in this class has only served to confirm this further.
2) If I had to tell someone who had no previous knowledge of the phrase "Web 2.0" or what it implied, I would explain it in terms of the previous information point.
3) When it comes to sites that I visit and use which are involved with Web 2.0, I think that the reverse is true: that there is rarely any sites I've seen not related with web 2.0. Certainly there are some private sectors online, but for the most part, Web 2.0 is the mainstream idea online. From email to EverQuest, from web-surfing to World of Warcraft, I say Web 2.0 is here to stay for quite a while.

The NewsBlogger - Fact or Fiction?
Hello All!
In my honest opinion, a blogger can fufill the capacity of news reporter if given the chance; however, they should always take the care of responsible blogging when posting their entries. Pursuit and distribution of knowledge is a fine goal for any blogger, but pursuing knowledge to cause inflammation and disturbance toward people and places should be discouraged. As a reporter or as a blogger, one must pursue the goal of authoritive integrity when discussing these issues - no matter whether.
As such, I consider bloggers to be almost synonymous with reporters, and they should thus get the same reporting protection and rights as needed.
Goodbye All,
Enyal
