Welcome to bet|6ixDegrees|ween

First (for me at least) there was MySpace, then I connected on Facebook. After 4 years on "the Book", I told myself no more social networking, especially not Twitter. Posting updates or news in 140 characters? For those who know me, I'm quite the vocal person with endless opinions, so 140 characters just didn't seem enough. But guess what? I caved a few months ago, when I started my post-graduate program, and I'm definitely a convert. But I'll leave that story for another day.


And now I've caved yet again. Blogging; the latest craze in the Web 2.0 world. Well I didn't cave on my own, technically this is an assignment for my Online PR course, but the more I thought about what the hell I'm going to talk about, I started to randomly surf websites on subjects that interest me, and as I watch the devastation unfold in Haiti, and how flooded the internet was on that subject, it came to me; social networking and media. I've always been fascinated by it, and while I never took the time to research it thoroughly, I know this much: it's very present in my daily life. 


So here I go, holding my breath and diving into the deep end, hoping for the best. And while I know that I am a respectful and open-minded person, please take this blog with a grain of salt and understand that I am merely expressing my personal opinions and that if you feel like I have offended you, please note that it's certainly not my intention to do so. But I am open to hearing from you, so please feel free to comment and play devil's advocate. In fact, I encourage you to do so!


I look forward to sharing my thoughts on the Web 2.0. I guess this would be my official welcome to the blogging world.
