Web 2.0

The research portfolio will be done on the concept of Web 2.0, whatever that is, and if it even exists at all.
Of course, the first question is if Web 2.0 is even real, whether there is a discrete break and divide between the Web and Web 2.0, and then whether or not that discrete break exists what qualifies something as Web 2.0.
The ultimate focus of this research portfolio will be on how Web 2.0 shapes our lives with a report on a successful internet business model as the end product.

To compile and do this research I will be using a few tools that at this stage I think typify Web 2.0.
-this blog, Blogspot.
-the online calendar, 30boxes.com to keep me organized.
-del.icio.us to keep and index my research.

A Research Portfolio Eh?

This sounds like bitch work. I like the idea though to be doing some research. But the so called "Guidelines" are a piece of bureaucratic garbage. Fuck that, I'm doing it my own way.

Now what am I going to research?

-social networking online. (myspace, facebook, xanga) Tagging and sharing might go along with this too.
-online business, internet taxes, adsense, ebay
-viral marketing
-free stuff, open source projects/alternatives.
-online communication, AIM, e-mail, txting, comments as opposed to traditional face to face

Maybe some more later on.
