…since I created this account, I feel obligated to populate it with something. Well, I guess I could write about how I keep trying to “keep up” with the whole “web 2.0” thing, whatever that is (hence, I created this account without a genuine interest). I manage an IT department, but I’m severely out of touch with what people are doing on computers when they’re not working. Unfortunately, “when they’re not working” has extended to work… where I manage the support of desktop computers at a community college. Every day, social networking and the like is further integrated into and run adjacent to legitimate business applications and processes. So, I have to understand why, how, and when people are doing what they are doing on the web. I have to worry about viruses/spyware the propagate via social networks. I also have to consider the possibility of sensitive data being leaked. The risks and implications are endless. So, here I am, creating another account whose output/input will, nearly undoubtedly, be run (probably incorrectly) through some kind of aggregator and continue to feed the ever-expanding field of mostly useless data (and people) that is called (I think) “web 2.0”. Post #1 complete… hopefully this one doesn’t end up like my forgotten LiveJournal account.
