In this lesson, you get to choose a Web 2.0 service that is new to you and give it a try. The first place to consider is the 2007 Web 2.0 Awards. These were choosen from an extensive list of category-arranged nominees. You'll see familiar services listed (ie Flickr, Technorati) but many more we've not looked at yet. Try something that is new to you. You might also take a look at Webware. Webware documents newly released and/or updated web 2.0 services - postings focus on individual services, service categories and/or related news of the day.
Discovery Exercise
- Pick one of the sources mentioned above - the Web 2.0 Awards or Webware
- If you choose the Web 2.0 Award nominees, select a category that interests you (ie 'Books' or 'Personal Organization') and take a look at one of the listed nominees. If your first choice isn't interesting, head back and try another.
- If you choose Webware, select a category that interest you (ie 'Education and Reference' or 'Productivity and Business') from the category list on the right side of the screen. Investigate one of the web 2.0 tools mentioned in this category. If your first choice isn't interesting, head back and try another.
