I have been using Web 2.0 for quite some time now. I believe I was a freshman in high school when I first got Facebook. Since then I haven't really ventured too far from Facebook even though I try to use it less and less. For my journalism class in the Fall of 2011 I was required to get a Twitter account but I rarely use it. I do see the value in both of them but it is my personal choice to limit my use. I think the reason behind these feelings is because even as a 21 year old I have noticed a complete obsession with social media by my peers and because of this I have made the decision to use it as little as possible. However, my fraternity has a Facebook page that we try to keep updated because we know that a lot of people get their information from said source.
In terms of what interests me about Web 2.0, I would have to say it is the complete ability to create whatever you want -especially in terms of blogs. I really enjoy the Huffington Post and the blogs found on that website as well as various food blogs which is where some of my key interests are. Something that I would like to learn is how to use the Web 2.0 for productivity besides Facebook and Twitter. I think there are some great alternatives out there but I just need help finding them.
