Week 9 - Web 2.0 Exhibition

If there wasn't enough information out there already. Now we have all these incredible new apps. I'm a bite nervous and excited all at the same time. I'm just learning about these new apps on web 2.0 and here comes a new mountain of apps ready to be deployed. I feel that I haven't mastered the current apps and new ones have already been development. It is allot for an individual to take in all at once, but the feeling is more about excitement than anxiety.

I like the fact that many companies have decided to create apps that are not on a local machine. The apps are mostly all accessible on-line. just previewing some of the apps, it is clear that usability and accessibility in design , form, and function have been taken into consideration of some of the new web 2.0 apps.

My concern lies in the learning curve and who the audience is catered to. These conferences/expo seem to tailored to innovators, and risk takers. The language is completely different, since they speak in technical terms and often need to ask for clarification. Makes for a steep learning curve if ever you were to fully learn any one of the new apps. Still, people are excited, patient, and there is a willingness to cooperate, collaborate, and make more accessible to the masses. Great!
