Thing #12 Web 2.0

I have been checking out the Web 2.0 site. This is a very unfamiliar format and it reminds me of symbaloo. Two sites that I am familiar with  just on the first couple of page are Pinterest and Flipboard. As I search through the pages, I feel myself becoming overwhelmed with seemingly endless amount of information in the world. I often lose the site of what I am wanting to accomplish and find myself going into various directions. It almost feels as if I have ADD of the internet. I feel focused in the beginning then quickly lose the my sight with all the links that I can click on.

I think one of my favorite sites from the Web 2.0 page is "Kudos, Thank Different". The website is Kudos, Thank Differently . So often we go through the day being rushed, harrassed, and leaving with the feeling of unaccomplishment that we forget how we can impact other people's lives. On days like this, a simple "Thank You" is all I need to feel that I made a difference.

Their quote from their page, "A simple thank you has always been the most direct way to motivate and retain employees. Now there is a quick, fun and easy way for any organization to harness the power of recognition on an unprecedented scale. Kudos enables anyone to send a virtual pat on the back to anyone else in an organization. Now recognition can come from anywhere, anytime, in seconds. But the positive effects can last for years."
