A few months ago I was doing my assignment ans had to do a survey on my mates knowledge and interest on the Internet,especially web2.0 (User experience,interaction,participatory culture etc.) and a good start point is definitely blog and podcast.

Here's some results:
Reaction to blogging:

• 'Reading one or two of the celebs.
• 'For bored people'

Reaction to podcasting:

• 'mmmnnnn....'
• 'aaahhh.......?'

Extra:(Extremely excited)I know Facebooooook!

Are you a techie using blogs and other mediums to keep track of everything?'Cause I do and I think knowing about this stuff is quite a fortune although my teacher might have frowned upon this big time (she's an old fraud anyway).
Maybe I have some new-gear fetish,I just love the excitement everytime I find a new cool app.
