The Last, And Final, Media 2.0 Blog Post

Today's class was about tying all of what we've learned throughout the semester together and about what we got out of it.  This class was mostly about applying these various theories through projects and class discussions; showing what the "spirit of Media 2.0" really is and what it's all about.   I think we (people) are the spirit of Media 2.0 because of the various channels we use to learn, interpret, and distribute that media.  Whether it's through Twitter, FaceBook, blogging or podcasting.  We use media on a daily basis and keep it going whenever we use it.

I have to admit, when I first entered this class, I thought I wasn't gonna like it.  But since I couldn't drop it, I had to grin and bear it, so to speak.  As this course progressed, I actually began to get into it.  I really enjoyed reading Andersons' book because of it's content and everyday language use. Because of The Long Tail, I learned about "niche culture" and that I participate in a few niches.  I also learned about the concept of 1000 True Fans and that there are different levels of fandom.  But most of all, I learned about Participatory Culture and that we all know something about something. And there's nothing wrong with sharing with whoever will listen.
