Personal Blogging Experience

Blogging is becoming a staple in internet communication. Over the past few years I have had experience with blogs, social networks, and other Web 2.0 technologies. Below I will set out my experience.

Blogs
My blogging career started in my senior year in high school. I had experimented with HTML, CSS and Javascript which is the basis of blogging and blog design so I decided I would keep people updated with my life. It didn't have comments built in, so I had to get a third party comment software for users to be able to respond to my posts. After a while, and not gaining much readership I stopped.

I now maintain a personal technology weblog. This contains my everything from my Semester Abroad to Australia last semester to my various technology interests.

Social Networks
I began experimenting a couple years ago with a Google social networking software called Orkut. I then followed the trend with Facebook my sophomore year of college and MySpace my junior year. I believe that so far, even though that MySpace isn't too pretty it has the most potential to last. Facebook was elitist for a while, but now ended up being open to the public instead of being only open to college students.

Other Web 2.0 Technologies
I have been experimenting with Digg which is a social bookmarking community. It has really opened my eyes to things that I have never been involved in before.
