My experience with Web 2.0...
In the last few weeks, I've realized that exploring Web 2.0 is the most beneficial assignment I've worked on in my Journalism program so far. It introduced me to different websites and tools that I otherwise would have never explored. I enjoy writing, though don't consider myself an avid writer. I plan to continue blogging through Vox after this assignment is complete.
In relation to Journalism, all three aspects of media that we're taught, intrigue me. Writing, radio and television are all important in Journalism, and I feel Vox is an excellent way to further my writing skills. That's why I've decided to use it as an outlet for developing stories and working on my writing style.
I think that I'll continue to use Flickr as well, however, I don't believe Del.Icio.us will be something I continually use. I'm quite happy with traditional bookmarking and don't feel a need to tag every website and document all of my travels. If a website is important enough to remember, I'll probably it bookmark the "old fashioned way".
All in all though, this assignment was incredibly beneficial to my knowledge of the Internet and Web 2.0 tools, as well as furthering my writing style and experience.
Thanks Wayne for introducing our class to different aspects of the Internet.
