Exploring the second life website..
Discoving what icloud was
Probably the most eye opening discovery during module 1 was the video on youtube titled "social media revolution". Some of the statistics in relation to facebook . were amazing as I will share below.
* TV took 13 years to reach 13 million users, the internet took 4 years, the ipod 3 and FACEBOOK ADDED 100 MILLION USERS IN LESS THAN 9 MONTHS!!!!
* If facebook were a country it would be the worlds 4th largest
I also found it amazing and sad that 24 out of the 25 largest newspapers in the world are experiencing record declines in circulation. I am going to be one of the older generation who has experienced both print and online social media which I find to be a privilage as I am loving doscovering this new online technology but also being able to read a hardcopy book with enjoyment!!!.
This week I looked up how to make a bonless leg of lamb on the internet and one of the pages that I came across was someones cooking blog
I was also able to sign up and be notified of new updates on my twitter account!.
The topic has made me think so much more about the web 2.0 technologies that I use but take for granted everyday. For example talking to another mum recently who was interested in where I bought my modern cloth nappies I was able to share the website link with her through my Facebook page. Hows that for cheap and easy marketing!!!
Downloading songs for ipod this morning I also noticed that I was able to share links to my facebook account of artists that I would like to share with others!.
Now I look forward to reading and reporting on module 2
