 //__**Feeling overwhelmed by the language of Web 2.0 Technologies? **__// "Do you google, tweet, skype, blog, vlog, bookmark, feed, glog, tag, digg, wiki... remix tag clouds, create semantic communities, share podcasts, integrate data-driven web services, enable blog feeds, reinvent wikis, integrated user-contributed pages, syndicate rss mashups, capture peer-peer wikis, and invent widgets?"

Working and living in this Web 2.0 world can be a confusing and daunting experience for many learners. With the wide variety of applications and web resources, it is hard to clearly define what makes technology 2.0. With the help from valuable tools on the internet, I challenge myself and others to better understand the new technologies we are using around the globe and compose our own definition for Web 2.0 Technologies.

The table on this page contains resources for gathering a better understanding and definition for Web 2.0 Technologies. The ** table ** has been divided into three columns.
