1b Web 2.0

My initial thoughts on Web 2.0.

Well came in on the 4th of October for our 2nd Campus session and felt like I had known everyone for ages we all seemed to just click, it was great.
When we started reading through the Reader 1 I was shocked how I didn't have the slightest clue what Web 2.0 was, but as we got further and further into the session I started to gain more understanding, and by the end my knowledge and views were clear.
I would like to state I have for's and against's on this subject.
The For's:
Social Media is such an amazing tool the things I have achieved through Web 2.0 are so great such as.
Jobs: There are millions of jobs out there and with a click of a button you can manage to attain yourself an interview.
Auditions: You don't have to pop down to your local newsagents to buy a newspaper with auditions in any more just upload your C.V and apply for auditions through sites like Spotlight, Casting Call Pro, StarNow, the list is endless 
Clothes: In the comfort of your own home you can shop for new clothes, cars, food, even pets.
Also some people find LOVE over dating sites.

The Against's :
Social Media can also cause a lot of other Problems such as:
Bullying: Through social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, BEBO, Myspace people can access personal information and cause harm to others ranging from messages of hate and even physical harm by imposing as someone else to make arrangements to meet etc..
Fraud: There are so many different sites that make you part with your money or act as someone else or a bank or building society trying to make arrangements for your money to be moved to different accounts the list goes on.

So as you can see there are good and bad side's to the Web 2.0 here is a link to 4th of October session we had and the discussions we had.
