Why am I not surprised that there is an Oscar equivalent for Web 2.0 websites? OK, that aside, I explored Facebook and now feel I belong to the human net race. First stumbling block was finding a friend in there somewhere - and the 'group' of everyone in Australia did seem a tad broad. So I searched for the 20-something friend I thought might be 'on' and there she was. Not only that, but she replied immediately, and reinforcement does wonders for motivation to use the site. So a different type of communication connection's been made I didn't have before and that's a benefit. I guess that's what it's all about, having a point to the exercise, which also happened with my excursion into Flickr as well, when a TAFE officer in Brisbane used the photos straight away for a publication she was working on.
I chose a few others ( Kayak, ColorBlender ) but nothing special. PEERtrainer looked useful - an online group motivator for people to find similar age/stage personal training buddies as a support mechanism. That the other group members are in Virginia doesn't matter a jot I guess, so we'll see how that little connection develops.
The plethora of this type of web 2.0 site is truly astounding for the uninitiated so it's been useful to explore the possibilities.
