Web 2.0 knowledge and such

I've never really considered myself a "techie" but I've always been interested in technology, especially the internet. I have to say though, that going to college really enhanced my knowledge of web technologies. I became much more involved in web 2.0 based applications such as Facebook and maintained a Livejournal blog, eventually trading in LJ for Tumblr. I have yet to succumb to Twitter, although I have a few favorites I enjoy reading (Amanda Bynes' Twitter account is hilarious to me).I learned about RSS feeds at a library conference a few years ago and use Google Reader to subscribe to a number of feeds (mostly fashion and food blogs). I also LOVE podcasts, especially Radio Lab and This American Life.

I'm hoping this class (Applied Technology in Libraries) will help me navigate the recent explosion in social media and web 2.0 applications and enhance my semi-limited knowledge. I hope to learn a little about web design. I think this class is going to be lots of fun!
