Week 2

Hi everyone,
Thanks for your involvement last night and your willingness to give things a go. It is a bit of a steep learning curve but once you have mastered a couple of applications, you will find giving new ones a go will be that much easier.
Great to see the Igoogle pages appearing and changing.
Would love to hear what your frustrations and joys are this week. Keep an eye on your Google Reader for updates from this blog and any others you have added. Try and add a couple more websites to your Delicious and see how you go.
If you get stuck with anything, feel free to ask here.
Have a great week.

I have just found a really clever piece of free software which you can download to your computer. It is called hott notes (www.hottnotes.com). It is an organisational tool with which you can post reminder notes and to do lists on the desktop of your computer.
Remind me to show you!
Hope you are all having a great week.

Welcome to web2.0!

Tonight has been rather large! We will have hopefully covered Gmail, Delicious and igoogle as well as a general discussion about what we mean by web 2.0.
It really is rather mind boggling what we can do on the internet now. It is no longer static but rather encourages us to interact, to create online social networks - professional and social. The possibilities are endless and we are only going to touch the very tip of the iceberg.

Some questions for you to ponder and comment on throughout the week. Check out what other people post in the comments and comment on their comments also! Let's get a conversation going.

What was the most valuable thing you learned tonight?
What did you struggle with?
What made you excited?

Comment throughout the week also on your progress and your frustrations. You will find that if you air your difficulties, someone else will come to your aid!


Have a great week and have fun.
