Blogging for this course is really fun! I gained more exposure to web2.0 new media writing tools. Also, reading other's blog is really helping me to keep updated about tools and habits that I have overlooked.

I have found a list of web 2.0 content creation tools.

I am particularly interested in trying to make a book online, that's something I have tried and done so far with http://www.tikatok.com/:


Studying this course and blogging have increased my awareness of what I share on the web because it can pose a threat to my daily life. Editing photos shared online and re-posting them are very common in forums and social networks. I only upload and share photos with my close friends and disable friends of friends to view them. Though there would be someone intruding people's privacy, sometimes pictures on Facebook are quite interesting, such as comparing local artists with cartoon figures:


New media writing tools are inevitable trends, my utmost concern will be the user-friendliness. The popularity of the tool would also be important, but if that's for private use, popularity would be the tradeoff. For example, I had a plurk account for "talking to myself", it was private and just for fun. Maybe you will ask "why don't you have a private blog?" NO! Plurk has the timeline for scrolling, and I can see my frequency of self-talk. LOL.

  2. i made that on http://www.tikatok.com/. Originally it is designed for kids, but as a novice of making books online, I find it's easy to use.
