First Blog Post

I am excited about the things that we will learn in the Web 2.0 course. I have heard a lot about things like Flicker, Twitter, Facebook, etc. and while some of them are tools that I use personally I don't have a very good understanding about how to implement them to help the United Way.

I have done some very basic blogging in the past, but again only in my personal life. When I travelled recently I kept a blog to update everyone at home about where I was and what I was up to and it saved me lots of time rather than sending multiple e-mails. (www.getjealous.com is a great site for this type of blog). A group of friends and I also use a blogger.com page for our knitting group to share patterns and post pictures of our projects. I'm looking forward to figuring out how to use this technology at work.
