Which aspect of Web 2.0 are you the most intrigued (or scared) by?
I think the aspect of Web 2.0 that I am most interested in exploring is Wikipedia. I recently discovered the Community Portal section of Wikipedia and was surprised by all the sort of 'hidden' aspects of the site that I wasn't previously aware of. I found the collaboration by topic section interesting as well as the idea of Wiki Projects. Having never updated or contributed to a Wikipedia article before I think it will be insightful to do this and use that experience as a basis for further understanding all that makes up Wikipedia. On a side note I was also slightly scared to see that there is a Wikipedia Reference Desk that claims to work like "a library reference desk," but really just provides links to Wikipedia artilces.
Mmmm - there's nothing quite like a Wikipedia reference expert to make a librarian feel like her job is threatened!
ReplyDeleteI'll have to check out the Community Portal section. You learn some really inetresting things from other people's blogs ...
Hah! Maybe we can collaborate on an article about a Soundgarden song.
ReplyDeleteThis is Shauna, btw. :)
That's awesome Shauna. It would likely be one of the most authoritative articles on Wikipedia. We could open up a reference desk on Soundgarden too. Although I'll have to brush up on my Soundgarden knowledge, I was always more of a Pearl Jam girl.
