two-point-opia


So, I've set up my blog. Pictures, feeds, links, the whole box and dice.

The next lesson for me on the web 2.0 tutorial is on wikis. I'm a great fan of wikipedia, even though we get told in our research classes to NOT use it. Thing is though, it makes a great starting point, quite often has really useful links and handy bibliographies, and can be surprisingly accurate (with attached caveat...). That being said, I've never contributed to a wiki. I have considered adding my 2 cents worth in some of the more contentious topics just for a laugh, but in the end couldn't be bothered. I may yet contribute in areas where I have some esoteric knowledge, possibly even as part of the whole 2.0 thing.

More 2.0 excitement to follow.
