Web 2.0 Application Review
For this assignment it was adventurous for me. I chose to review a Web 2.0 app that I
have never used before, stumbleupon. Stumbleupon, is a website that will produce
news articles, blogs, images, etc. in your application you have running based on your
interests when you select when you sign up. This was a cool concept to use because I
was able to choose a lot of my favorite subjects that interest me and can benefit my
Physical Education classroom. I chose fitness as one of my interests, and now I get
daily workout posters and images that have different workouts that I can use, and my
students can use in and out of class. It also sends me cool new innovative camping
gear that I can share with my students and allow more conversation and interest with
the students. If for some reason Stumbleupon gives you a page you do not like, it gives
you the option of a thumbs up or a thumbs down. If you choose a thumbs up it saves it
and will pull up more of the same content. Same way works when you choose a thumb
down, it will try not to send you content that is similar. It is a good way to even more
detail your likes and interests.
