CMC- 4 tools

In today's assignment we used four types of interactive communication. These included Prezi, Webpage, Twitter, and Blogger. Each one of these is beneficial in different ways.
Prezi is used as a presentation site where you can present information but we learned today that if you are logged in you can edit a prezi, you can add your own information, see what other people are editing and adding and it can be a very interactive site.
The webpage was not as interactive but increased your awareness of all the possible sites you can use to interact with other people, whether it be a blog, social networking, posting pictures, or just a simple search engine.
Twitter on the other hand is very interactive if you have an account you can see that people are constantly updating their status' and you can always comment, reply or make your own status' as well. You can search certain topics like for example if we typed in #uacmc we could see all the other tools fellow students tweeted about.
Blogger is used to create your own posts, express your feelings about a certain topic and have other reacts and respond with their own opinions, as well as you being able to edit and comment on other peoples posts.
In the readings it talks about web 1.0 and 2.0, I think that all four of these types of interaction would be 2.0 because they provide a sense of active creativity among the users, you can share content, express feelings, continuously be online at any time, and their are peer to peer programs such including twitter and many others that keep you in contact with multiple people at once.
