Web 2.0

After reading some articles about web 2.0 that I found in the university library web page.
I think that one of the most interesting applications of web 2.0 is the social network service.
The social network service builds an online network for groups of people who have same interests. There are many social networks already operating such as messenger, file sharing, blogging, chat, etc. But the most popular now is the one that contain information of the person. For example my space or facebook. Where you can get some personal information as: age, address, interests, phone number, e-mail. You can also see the pictures of the person and look who are their friends. It is hard for bussines to enter this world because it is more of a social comunity. People don't want to mix their social lifes with their bussines life.

I don't want to mix my social life with my school work Even though I found it really useful. because In my case, I found old friends by these mean, I also love to send messages to friends, and share pictures with them. There is the possibility that a person you don't know can use this information with bad purpose which I is really dangerous.

Previos experience with Microsoft

My previous experience with Microsoft is limited. I am actually not good at all. I used to use it just to write papers. But I know it is important to learn more about it, and that is why I am really happy to take this course. I think that the things we are learning in class are really useful, unfortunately I have a Mac( which I love) but I don't really have the opportunity to use what I learn in class.
