Laurel's first post

I am participating in the 23 things programme to extend my very limited knowledge of Web 2.0. At the moment the only thing I use on the internet which could be classed as Web 2.0 is Facebook. I have only just started the course but it has already proved useful - I have just looked up what Web 2.0 means (and for anyone still in the dark, it means (as I understand it) those applications that allow users to share information, such as social networking sites and blogs) and I have just created my first blog!
