what? 2.0

I viewed all the videos that I saw on the '13 Things' web site, but it's still not clear to me what 'web 2.0' is. Thus, I cannot say what interests me about web 2.0, since I still don't know what it is. Maybe that will be become more apparent as I progress through the next twelve 'things'.

[Earlier this month, I was back in Hanover, New Hampshire, where I did my graduate work. Theodor Geisel (a.k.a., Dr. Seuss) was an undergrad there, so Seuss themes regularly pop up. As a matter of fact, when I was in grad school, there was a movement to change the mascot from the vague 'Big Green' to the ecologically-oriented Seuss character, 'Lorax'. Unfortunately , the transition never happen--probably due in part to licensing legalities. In any case, this year, 'Thing One' and 'Thing Two' ('Cat In the Hat' characters about whom I had forgotten) t-shirts were seemingly all the rage. Perhaps we could create 'Thing Thirteen' characters and t-shirts to commemorate the '13 Things @ Coe College' summer?]
