Though not having many posts as desired, I have done most of the exercises. I did explore many tools of Web 2.0; some of them one can see on the blog. It has been a rich experience so far learning Web 2.0. I will definitely review these skills now and then. Well, not only viewing but using as well; as a matter of fact, I have been using some of them already; I have a very nice 'widget' clock on my PC. It 's really cool! I remember Microsoft advertized about this among the new features of their new product, Windows Vista. Well, I cannot afford this new line of product yet, but still I have one of its new features--Widget!
Again, thank you OCLS Web 2.0 Trainers and Coordinators very much for everything!
Week #10 -- What about having my own radio show!?
Yeah! I grew up admiring radio show hosts. I am not good at speeches. And thus, I admire people who could enlighten others with their talks and usage of words. I have created an account already but still shy at publishing my show just yet. One day I will definitely have my own talk show...and I will be thankful to those who have made it possible for me to know more about this 'come in handy' web 2.0 -- Podcasting.
Week #9 -- Information dancing around me
With 'Liveplasma,' searching for information about music no longer just an activity that has to do with reading and listening but enjoying looking at the searched information dancing and then grouping in the most reasonable way.
Hats off to those who created the widgets! I like these virtual tools. I like to know how to build one myself one day!

Week #8 -- the manifestation of Web 2.0!
Getting this far, I once more was affirmed -- being overwhelmed by --with the usefulness of Web 2.0's numerous applications. From Flickr I came to understand the term 'tag.' From protopage, I learned the fun of using widgets.
Week #7 -- Keep in shape
Thumbs up for Traineo. What this web 2.0 application does is to 'chop' the big hard task of loosing weight into smaller and more manageable tasks added with the fun of monitoring one's own progress.
Week # 6 -- great information for self-learner!
Social networking! I once thought of 'blogging as networking.' This time reading Week #6 course, my view is widened by the concept. With web 2.0 being applied to different corners of life, a new fresh look of many things have taken place. The virtual world has slowly found its way to stand up side by side with our real world. One can find information now with its environment--information in context!
Week # 4 -- 'Artists may come from anywhere!'
Exploring YouTube, I can't help thinking that 'artists can come from anywhere!' One does not have to graduate from an acting school or a member of Hollywood league to have his/her performance seen by everyone now. Web 2.0 indeed will add a great extension to many if not all professions from now on. To be published does not require one to be famous or infamous anymore. One can be 'published' whenever one desires so nowadays!
Week #3 -- RSS
One way to understand RSS is to use the analogy of mail boxes equipped with red flags that could be raised up when there is mail and down if no mail is delivered. RSS is an engine that points out to web users if 'mail' or updated link/data is 'delivered' or available. This way, web users could save time searching for updated information. Plus, all updated information is gathered and put under finger tip of the users.
Week #1 & #2 -- blogging is networking
I heard of blogging before. Today, I read its description again from 2.0, I came to realize more of the fact that it is a brilliant idea to go global and get connected to others by sharing 'me' that is characterized in my ideas and thoughts.
