Yellow group and I started with some brief chatting and getting to know you stuff on Facebook first. Diana then set up a ning for all of us to join so that we could discuss the objectives of the assignment. We did this using the forum functions of the group ning.
First we were to identify:-
Social Network - We decided they were web-based services that allow individuals to construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site.
Professional Development - Professional development refers to skills and knowledge attained for both personal development and career advancement.This includes rapour with clients, co-workers and alike.
Web 2.0 - "Web 2.0" refers to what was perceived as a second generation of web development and web design. It is characterised as facilitating communication. It includes tools such as blogs and wikis, podcasts and vodcasts, and alike.
Blog -A personal or corporate website in the form of an online journal, with new entries appearing in sequence as they are written. Usually updated by one person, and often with the use of an alias or fake name to aid anonymity.
Micro-blog - a form of multimedia blogging that allows users to send brief text updates or micromedia such as photos or audio clips and publish them, either to be viewed by anyone or by a restricted group which can be chosen by the user.
wiki - is a website that allows multiple users to create, modify and organize web page content in a collaborative manner.
mash-up - a new breed of Web-based applications to mix at least two different services from disparate and even competing companies.
Stay tuned for more on assignment 2!
