Web 2.0 - Awaaaaayyyyyyy! Expectations and more

By Golly, this dodgy weather has had the old Pukeko hibernating early. Having had my nest washed away in the last lot of heavy rain I had to scratch about and find some new nest materials. Imagine my discomfort when the a piece of the local newspaper reminded me that this here blog needs to be completed by this Wednesday!
So here I am, spectacles adjusted, power account up to date and finger exercises in full swing as I start the new day!
Having frolicked through the first stage of Web 2, my little water based colleagues, I'm hoping this time around will be a real doddle. Over the past year I have played with lots of exciting things that can be done on-line and have noticed that there are things that I enjoy and things that I find very boring. Worse still, there are things that can cost a Pukeko heaps of money in PC repairs (My beady eyes narrow at this point as the past remembered lessons learned from downloading free music remain vivid in my mind!)
The jury is out as to the usefulness of blogging with some research indicating that a huge percentage of blogs are started and never continued. It's a great playspace but there is always technology "just around the corner" that some say is bigger, better, brighter, smarter, more likely to change the world! Didn't they say that about Rock and Roll, Space travel, fashion, manners...
I intend the approach this learning with a "slightly" open mind.

LOL I love the term 'slightly' open mind heh Great point, though, that a lot of blogs are started up and never continued
