I just completed a project with four other people (Jean-Paul, Joaquin, Michelle, and Gerardo) in which we took a long look at a Web 2.0 company. The presentaion was done in class, and posted to YouTube. Check it out!
I demoed the Web 2.0 site StumbleUpon and found it cool. The first thing I came accross is this video that actually relates to IT class. I think it is awesome that there is so much information that the web can direct you to. It can open up my eyes to new things and information that I did not know about or never would have found otherwise. The only downside is that it allows people to enter "information cocoons" where they only see items relevant to their interests. This, I think, is a problem because then they are not exposed to anything that they might not agree with. This limits their perspectives and provides them with only a one-sided picture. But, all-in-all, this website it a cool and effective tool.
