Dreams Do Come True

Laugh

Just watched the video the evolution of dance on Youtube for the 10th time. It always makes me laugh outloud!

Wikipedia

I was checking Wikipedia for Digital Camera information and was pleasantly surprised. The information was not overly technical and very clear. When something did come up that I wasn't familiar with, it usually had a link where I could do more research.

One interesting thing was I had noticed a few typos in the article whenI first read it and several days later I went back and thought I would correct them myself, but they had been fixed. In fact the first time the article had around 7,800 contributers in the "Donate to Wikipedia" banner, the second time I checked, there were 10,901 contibuters. I think I am a fan!

I've recently read the article "What IS Web 2.0: Design Patterns and Business Models for the Next Generation of Software by Tim O'Reilly. I found the article by googling "web 2.0" .

The article compares and contrasts web 1.0 with the web 2.0 by explaining the newer version using terms such as participation, cooperation, transparency and collective intelligence.

So much of the technical jargon was new to me, that I spent a lot of time reading definitions for clarification.

Something to think about

Has anyone read Bill Clinton's latest book "Giving: How each of us can change the World"? Once you get past the first bit where he campaigns for Hillary, it is really a good read!
