For anyone new to Web 2.0—and don’t worry, you’re not alone—here are definitions of some of the terms we’ll be using in this podcast.

• A social network is a group of people who meet in an online space, often to participate on message boards and share resources. Classroom 2.0 is an example of a niche social network, while Facebook and MySpace are very broad social networks.
• A wiki is an easy to edit Web site where anyone can add to or correct the information. The most famous example of this is Wikipedia.
• Second Life is a virtual world; it looks like a video game, but participants are actually doing normal life activities such as going to work and buying a house.
• Social bookmarking is a way for you to organize online information into categories and to rate online information.
