Thing One

1) So far, how have you been using Web 2.0?  Have you created any content for Web 2.0? Are you active on social media (besides facebook)?

I am so far behind the curve, I am not even sure what Web 2.0 is supposed to mean.  Isn't it enough to know how to navigate the Inter-webs   Despite this, I mess around with Google technologies and Apps all the time.  They are on my phone, on my TV, on my Chrome browser.  I am ready for them to take over the world, streamline everything, simplify, and then let me share my uploaded life on the facebook.  I have made somewhat of an Internet presence trying to stay current.  I created a website for my ex's business, and I have set up Google sites for classes.  When my 14 year old daughter Googled my name, stuff popped up - sites I made and stuff I wrote - it made me feel strangely vulnerable.

2) What interests you about Web 2.0--what would you like to learn about?

I would like to learn how to control what actually ends up in the public sphere.  I would like to have all my stuff backed up in a cloud somewhere, but I need to learn how to do this in an effective and organized manner.  I like the idea of a world wide dialogue, but I am a little weirded out by the lack of privacy.
