Read and Write Web

Someone in class asked what a punch card was when I included the term in my introduction. Ten years ago we were taught to design webpages by typing the God forsaken code and all we could do was read each others' webpages. Today, and for the past several years, we can read the pages, but we can all type on them. Hence the new "Read/Write" web. It's also called Web2.0, although there never was a Web1.0.

This new Web2.0 concept has explored including blogs and Facebook and Twitter. There are thousands of websites where you can write as well as read. The website go2web20.net is a great starting point to find and explore such websites. So, go there, try a couple and write about them in your blog. This is your second blog assignment.
