WEB 2.0

After researching various Web 2.0 Technologies, the main social media I decided on using to display my project is blogspot.com. This decision was made after researching into other technologies such as Facebook, Myspace, Flickr and Twitter. Blogspot not only allows me to customize my blog page, but also does not restrict the amount of text per post, like Facebook and Twitter do. I also found that Blogspot allowed more freedom in regards to layout, colour, text and much more, than the competing internet sites. This can been seen in the two images below; A Daily Dose of Architecture (Blogspot) and The Gallery of Modern Art (Facebook).

To take advantage of multiple technologies, Flickr was also chosen to accompany my blog, as it was found to be an efficient site for large photographs. This website is useful because larger, more detailed images, can be linked from Flickr to Blogspot.
