Today, two things happened to clarify it for me.  First, this morning I was listening to an <a href=\"http:\/\/edtechtalk.com\/\">EdTechTalk.com<\/a> podcast. Their guests were Stephen Downes and Will Richardson. As they discussed Web 2.0 I started to get the vision. It made me think about Steve Job&#8217;s idea a few years ago of your Mac being &#8220;your digital hub&#8221;.  He was envisioning our Macs connected to the our cameras, our MP3 players, and such.  To support that, came the iLife apps such as iPhoto, iMovie and iTunes.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of being a hub for hardware, Web 2.0 is your digital hub for online life, such as your blogs, your feeds, your bookmarks and tags, your to-do lists, your photos. It will be the hub for not just your personal read\/write web, but also your social one. <\/p>\n<p>So then after listening to the podcast, what should I find in my e-mail box but notice that Flock is distributing a beta of it&#8217;s Web 2.0 browser? They make no stability claims at this point, but take a moment to peruse this list of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flock.com\/fiveways\/togetstarted\/13.php\">13 things you can do with Flock<\/a>. Amazing! I&#8217;m creating this post directly from it without even going to Blogger. It inspired me to finally get a del.iciou.us account.  With Flock&#8217;s help, I can see myself seamlessly integrating many aspects of my digital life.<\/p>\n<p>Flock probably isn&#8217;t stable enough yet to be a student browser, but it will be. I can hardly wait to see where Web 2.0 takes us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n<p>I&#8217;ve been having trouble getting my brain around Web 2.0.
