Community and Web 2.0

Society today use the internet for various things, this can be research or generally sheer entertainment. Entertainment sites commonly come from social sites such as Facebook, MySpace or Twitter or other sites like Twitter where you write what you’re doing at that particular time, or how you’re feeling. Other forms of community and its participation include writing blogs and checking out wikipedia.
