My Favorite Web2.0 Tools

Web2.0 Tools

Are different tools located through the World Wide Web that allows people to collaborate and interact with one another through various ways of communication.  Such examples of Web2.0 are social-networking sites (Facebook or Myspace), blogs (which we are using here for class), video-sharing sites(YouTube), picture sites (Picasa or Photobucket), and other such web applications. A way to store your files online, so you can access them anywhere in the world.

Personal Productivity- Delicious

A social bookmarking website that allows you to store your favorites and bookmarks on the web instead of in your own browser.  Which means you can access your favorites or bookmarks from any computer.  Through this web application, you can also share your favorites or bookmarks.

Screen Records- Voice Threads

A VoiceThread is a multimedia slide show online that holds images, documents, and videos that allows a person to narrate their show.  A person can also leave comments on the show in different ways.  One can leave a comment through a voice recording, text, an audio file, or video.  This can be shared with friends, students, or colleagues.

When commenting, one could even Doodle on the media.  This means one can draw on top of the media while you record a comment.  These Doodles are synced to the comment you left which allows viewers to see your thoughts in action.

One can even create identities within the VoiceThread which allows someone to switch to another identity if/when someone else was wanting to comment. (This would be managed under the users account.)

  1. Don't forget to do the Delicious social bookmarking piece. Nice Web2 definition and overview of VoiceThread.

  2. I was running short on time, that's why I originally left the Delicious definition out, until I had time to come back and edit the post. But the post is finally done now.
