privacy

My personal experience with social software has been a new and exciting one. I am addicted to delicious (until this course my "favourites" took up half my screen).

I never thought I'd like blogging either. Personally, I found the idea of exposing my thoughts online for anyone to read or comment on frightening. There's no CONTROL. No PRIVACY.

And yet here I am. Happily blogging away, reading other peoples blogs, and searching for external blogs to read daily and comment on.

I am nearly a blogoholic.

I finally get a topic that I actually feel like I know the material for beforehand (in spite of my belief at the beginning of the term I had lots of Web 2.0 experience). :)

The debates for this week's readings were really interesting to me, not only because I'm a social networking site fanatic, but also because I generally consider myself a proponent of freedom of access and speech.
