LJ5:Imaging for the Web, File sharing, and Introduction to Web 2.0

I really enjoyed learning more things about Web 2.0 and the many possibilities it gives us to be creative on things we do on the computer.  Some applications such as photobucket I had known about and have used, along with Jing and delicious which were introduced to me in this course. In Cyber lesson 8 it had demos on some other web 2.0 apps such as animoto and xtranormal which I tried out on my own as well and kind of had fun with it. I also plan on reading up more on Web 3.0 or the semantic web as its also named. below is the video i found most informational from cyber lesson 8. Im all for anything that makes browsing/customizing the internet easier!!



The information about file sharing wasnt really news to me, I've been downloading and sharing files(possibly illegally) for quite some years. Learning what goes into lowering a file size besides cropping was relatively informational to me.  I think by far for me this was the most interesting maybe even entertaining module thus far.  I got my dates mixed up on some things and missed doing some things, but i feel i got my share of good information.  As the class is winding down I'm glad to be learning things that I'll be able to use long after this class is over.
