This week we’ll have a closer look at some ‘Web 2.0’ services. Some of which just might come in handy for Production Project A:
delicious. Intro to delicious here. Start saving bookmarks of sites or content that might be useful for Production Project A.
flickr Investigate tags, save some favourites, look into photo groups and pools
vimeo Explore some user content. Look into Vimeo’s channels, groups, albums and projects
wikia Might be a good option for option 3.
Your mission is to find great stuff on the net. It might be art, fashion, political commentary, film, music, a really innovative website. Find a common theme or thread. Start saving links, start sharing links, start making sense of it. Start organising it.
