MediaWiki: Review

MediaWiki: MediaWiki is an open source wiki space that was originally designed for use on Wikipedia. Now, for the real review, when I first clicked on MediaWiki I thought it was similar in layout to Wikipedia an it looked simple. That was the case until I looked some more and realized that it was actually quite confusing and I did not understand what the page was about and what to do. I checked out the "how to navigate" section and all it did was talk about the sidebars and how to get around on the site, all of which I already knew how to do since I have been on the internet before. Overall I did not find the website useful and I am not sure if I would return on my own. Cheers, Michael Bridges

Weebly: Review

Weebly: At first view of weebly I thought it was an educational site only. It wasn't until I clicked around that I noticed it had a publishing feature that was similar to a blog. I have picked this site to be the one I will make a post for this weeks assignment. I actually like the layout of the design page it is similar to a blog site or even a picture editing software. I found the features pretty interesting and the options surprised me by how many there actually were. I still am pretty confused how this site is related to education but I am sure that is a function I did not check out because I felt it was unnecessary for this weeks assignment. Overall I dug this site and I will continue to tool around and check out its features. Cheers, Michael Bridges UPDATE: Weebly wanted money to make a post, so I discovered how to do it on Wikidot and its pretty cool, I now take back everything I said on its review :).

Turned Out a Punk Podcast: Review

This podcast is cool because it digs deep into peoples lives who were brought up in the Punk music scene. The producer is in a band that is good so he has the inside scoop and the ability to get good quests. The podcast always starts the same way which takes listeners back in time to when the person first heard punk music or the genre all the way til present day. It is good and you will want more.

Check out my wiki page!

Here is the link to my wiki page where I discussed how wikis fit in to Web 2.0. This was a fun assignment and after building accounts on all of the wikis that were in our assignment page, this was the only one I felt I could actually create something.
