9. Properties of Web 2.0 Exercise: For 2 minutes, silently list the properties common to many of our identified Web 2.0 tools. Write each property on a separate Post-It note.

10. Properties of Web 2.0 Exercise: For 3 minutes, silently place the properties into meaningful groups. Do this in groups.

11. Properties of Web 2.0 Exercise: For 2 minutes, continue placing the properties into meaningful groups and label those groups. You may now talk.

12. Properties of Web 2.0 Tim O’Reilly’s definition of Web 2.0: “Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform, and an attempt to understand the rules for success on that new platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (This is what I've elsewhere called ‘harnessing collective intelligence.’)” O’Reilly, T. (2006, Dec 10). Web 2.0 compact definition: Trying again.

37. What Undergrads Do With SNSes “The highest area for use on Facebook is staying connected to high school friends. One would expect more people using Facebook to connect to college peers; however a very small percentage (21.1%) are using it for this purpose.” Vanden Boogart, M. R. (2006). Uncovering the social impacts of Facebook on a college campus. Unpublished Master of Science Thesis, Kansas State University, Manhattan, Kansas.

51. Is Anyone Not Using SNSes? “Neither gender, ethnicity, nor income appeared to relate to propensity to join Facebook. Older students, and those who have been at school longer are significantly less likely to be on Facebook, probably reflecting an effect of the recency which with the MSU Facebook community began.” Ellison, N., Steinfield, C., & Lampe, C.
