My experience with social trends and Web 2.0
I ever use Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a biggest encyclopedia online. The information in Wikipedia can adjust, change by any person. My other experience with WEB 2.0 is to write blog. Nowadays, blog is a ready made website. I just sign in and then get start, no need to write code to build it. It makes me easy to write; drag and drop, and update. I write my first blog when I study social computing subject (CPE452). I think it’s very cool because I can share my idea, opinion and interact with others that come to visit my blog. They will leave the comments and then I answer it. So, I see that WEB 2.0 makes the social world widely. I’m also a girl that crazy on social network. I use Facebook, Instagram, Line, Path, Foursquare and always try new application. I like to update status and share idea or photo. When I use those social network, I feel like I have freedom to shared my idea to others people.
