A Taste of Web 2.0 Training Agenda

Welcome to a Taste of Web 2.0.

One of our Learning 2.0 participants said that learning new web technologies was like a Yum Cha: she felt she could pick and choose what she liked from a variety of sources and if she liked it, she could come back for more. We felt that this idea was perfect for what we want to show you; a Yum Cha, or Taste, of Web 2.0!


A driving force in today’s business and social world, Web 2.0 is not a new technology, it is new ways of using available and emerging technology to connect people and build communities. It is about discussing ideas, promoting services and products, and creating networks of online communities that may be dispersed around the Globe.

In a day and age where people are gathering less and less around mass media, thus causing their associated markets to fragment, Web 2.0 offers a medium whereby businesses can reach their targeted audience. Web 2.0 tools can be used for internal/staff collaboration, human resource management and recruitment, marketing, communication, professional development or anything else that can be based around a social network.
