Rift Fournier and what Web 2.0 may mean to you!

Even though we had a short time with Rift Fournier, it was still very informative. He had a lot to say in that short time. He was full of stories concerning the film making business. Rift has done a little of everything ranging from writing, producing, acting, etc. He told us how he got into the entertainment business and how difficult it can be. But he was very optimistic with his words describing how he never gave up, he pushed for what he wanted. He kept reaching for his dream. In the same way he told us to do the same. Even if you start small it can be the key to how the rest of your life will turn out. The way Rift spoke was with pride and confidence. He said what he wanted and meant it. He didn’t hide the truth from you. Even if it wasn’t necessarily appealing. It was an honor to meet someone with such humbleness and pride for what he did, and who he is. I just think it’s amazing when someone leaves their dream to help others achieve theirs.

Web 2.0 can be defined as being limitless, unending, and ever growing. I’m really enjoying discovering more and more about Web 2.0. The future of where the Internet is going is entertaining and apparently hard to keep up with. We were once asked to sign up for an experiment with the website Twitter. With as fairly new as Twitter is, there is already a replacement. It’s called Twinger. It’s like Twitter on steroids. Check it out (they even have a tutorial video from YouTube posted, so it’s pretty much dummy proof). MySpace and Facebook have had major overhauls recently. Neither really getting great reviews from users, but nonetheless they are “improved” versions.
And of course I couldn’t talk about Web 2.0 without mentioning Google. Google controls a lot and they offer a lot. They just recently created a phone to compete with the iPhone. They also have their own web browser called Google Chrome. They also have tons of applications and various search engines. I’m pretty sure Google expands everyday.
Web 2.0 is so much bigger than this post, but then again this is just supposed to be a general statement.
