What I expect to learn from completing INF506

I expect to learn new ways of utilising the technologies that I familiar with while gaining new insights and understanding in the 2.0 technologies that I am unfamiliar with or have merely glimpsed. I hope to make better use of the new 2.0 technologies for personal, professional and study purposes.

What is social networking?

Social networking allows people to stay in touch (or connect) via a variety of ways such as social network websites including Facebook and blogs, wikis, twitter or Youtube. By linking to networks, people are able to contact a large number of others and maintain this contact.
