My favorite thing through all of this was refreshing my memory about what is out there and taking another look at things for a second time to see what has been changed and improved. What I like least about Web 2.0 is the sign up requirements for everything, there is not time (or inclination from me) to have to check all of these things to monitor postings and blogs, and wikis, and tweets, and my wall, and tags. I already think that OCL takes great advantage of the technologies out there to make sure we are findable and present for anyone who is looking but especially the teen population who uses most of these applications daily. My Husband and I are on Facebook, other than that our daughter is just now being allowed to use (with monitoring) things like MySpace, FaceBook, and Twitter to connect with her friends....oddly enough my son (10 years old) has no interest in anything other than Club Penguin or Hot Wheels Racing so we leave it at that.
In predicting for Web 3.0, I am looking forward to the use of more complex searching strings to eliminate the need for multiple searched. Not at all sure how I feel about a browser that 'learns' from my prior searches enough that I could ask it What movie should I go see....that might be creepy....and if it starts calling me by name like in 2001 a Space Odessey, well, I may unplug and go back to snail mail and a typewriter for fear of being taken over by the machines!!!
It has been fun...thanks for the ride! Toni Smirniw @ TU
