WIKIMANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I went home this weekend for a much needed break and all I heard about was HBO's The Wire. I have never and will never watch that show. Its about drug dealing in B-More, MD. Everybody I know watches the show. So I told my brothers and parents about the wiki I found last week dedicated to the show. First they were like "wik-a-what"?!?!?! But after I explained to them what it was they got excited. Each swore they could find something that was wrong or that they could add. So as a family we got online and found the wiki. For about two hours they were going through the pages, following links, and all that great stuff you can do with a wiki. My brothers were calling friends asking them if they knew certain facts that were on the wiki. It was a crazy sight to see. That was probably the most time my family has spent together in a long time. After all that I still refuse to watch The Wire. On a higher note, the wiki knowledge is spreading!

That is one thing (among the many) I have loved about this class; how applicable it is to our everyday. Rarely do more than a few days pass that I don't have the opportunity to share with someone a feature of Web 2.0 we've learned in class. At the beginning of the semester I considered myself to be pretty internet savvy, but I've learned so much and realized I hardly knew anything before.
