Week Three: Web 2.0

The third week of class addressed the functions of Web 2.0. We were assigned an activity to explore the tools and applications of Web 2.o and how useful these resources are. The primary function of Web 2.o is not to create a new World Wide Web but rather give a centralized home to the interactive information sharing applications from wikis to blogs to video-sharing websites.

Web 2.o is a unique tool that can be useful in a Sports Management major for many different reasons. The applications featured on Web 2.o allows users to connect to others online by publishing information and pictures and expressing opinions. Being able to connect to and use these social-networking applications will help me in my career by allowing me to establish connections with possible co-workers, bosses, and clients. The applications on Web 2.o are resources that can help to improve the communication of ideas in the workforce.

This is a link to a page that provides quick links to some of the social-networking applications available on Web 2.o. Exploring the different capabilities of these applications shows how useful the tools available on Web 2.o can be to anyone in a career involving working with others.
