I`ve just joined classroom 2.0 (click the title to link). Apparently, it`s a “ning”, a bit like facebook but for specific groups. Strangely, this log is in an RSS feed on my ning front page…everything is interconnected and chasing itself. Please be careful not to get sucked into a technological black hole and bump into your own mother like Marty McFly. Ah, I remember web 2.0, it was so quaint! I`m not going to look for it, but no doubt some wag has used the “web 3.0” tag by now (probably right after “web 2.0” was coined). But all this stuff does seem so much more multi-dimensional and interconnected now… the way your flickr, twitter and tumblr posts can all pop up in other platforms via rss feeds - the technology isn`t brand new, but the ways of using it are. Even the fusty old BBC lets us choose which content turns up on the front page, and where.
