How has the Web changed in the last 5 years?
• Easy to create a Web site• Anyone can have a blog• Comment on each other’s blog posts, photos,
videos, bookmarks• “Watch” what other people are doing,
thinking, reading, talking about• Your network now includes “strangers”! (and
strangers are not so strange)
