I found all 3 blogs by using yahoo.com. I typed in dallas cowboys blogs in the search engine and found all of these sites. I find all of these sites to be valid because they are up to date and that they are just all opinions. Everything on the sites are valid.

I think Web 2.0 can be better defined in reference to what “Web 1.0″ was. In what I’ll call Web 1.0 the goal was to get as much raw information onto the web as possible. Everyone had to have a web presence and most of those sites consisted of just raw information.

Web 2.0 is about putting this information resource to work. This generally means web based applications/services that take advantage of raw data often from several sources to turn aggrate data into more than the sum of it’s parts.

Web 1.0 is still an ongoing project. More raw data is being added to the internet all the time. Web 2.0 began for some a long time ago. Now that everyone is catching up we slapped a name on it.

Introduction

Wuts up. This is Tim Caton and I am enrolled in the Exploring the Internet course at LCCC. My background with computers is pretty simple. I basically just surf the web for homework and fantasy sports. Also, I use the website MySpace in which almost everyone is probably familar with. My interests are hangin with my girlie and friends, just about any sport, playing madden, and texas hold'em. My degree that I am pursuing is Business Administration and that is why I am here at LCCC to accomplish my goal of a better education. I have no concerns with this class because I feel pretty comfortable with the Internet and I think if anything is new to me that I will be able to pick it up fast and easy.
