Blogs, Wikis and Social Networking: The end of the web as we know it?

09:30 - 16:15 Friday 25 June 2010
Netskills Training Suite, Herschel Building, Newcastle University

As the world wide web moves into another exciting phase, sometimes called Web 2.0, it has never been easier to publish and access information online. Blogs and wikis offer simple, DIY, interactive publishing, while new social software tools enable collaboration online, whether sharing cutting edge research, CVs or holiday snaps. But is this just the latest craze or does it have the potential to revolutionise online information?

Topics:

The changing ethos of blogging, and its potential applications
Creating, enhancing and managing blogs
The emergence of other social software tools such as wikis, MySpace and mashups
Real-life examples of the technologies in action
Advantages and pitfalls of these technologies

Who is it for?

This workshop is aimed at anyone using or publishing web-based information, who want to get beyond the hype and learn about blogging and social networking, and what it can do for you.

No previous knowledge of the topics covered is required, but participants should be familiar with using a web browser.

Further details about this workshop are available.
