I totally agree with you , finally i read a blog that was worth reading. Australia boasts and brags on about its sporting achievements and advance technology, the image of a BBQ and back yard cricket works but when you take your soldiers to war you expect results, results we did see but comparing to country's with half our population and half our funding we were slaughtered the war was lost. Australia Does Pour millions in sporting improvement , research and development to increase our chance in the Olympics but to consider spending more for the next battle of athletes is ridicules. Global warming,job shortages, homeless issues, obesity and heath concerns, the un-employed ,education and skills training/shortage the list goes on and on these are important issues Australia that Australia needs to focus on and tackle and improve rather than spending so much on the next Olympics. Australia is famous for its Vegemite ,Nutella the Victor lawn mower, the bush mans cloths line and Windex but sadly none of these products are Australian. Australia is being bought out slowly and isn't famous for any products or brands we do not have anything to stand for. Australia needs to spend money on important issues to grow its economy. by abdul sawan

what is web 2.0?

it is a new catch phrase that can mean different things to different people .in essence web 2.0 means evolution ; it describes the way in which the internet is growing from its initial incarnation as a largely passive expercience, into a much ore interactive medium that can be contributed to easily and harnessed by its users .

what is social networking?

my opinion is that it is where a society of people with a whole lot of time on there hand or they either are afraid to venture the real word that they will have to face reality and do not have the confidence to face reality so they all get to gether over the internet in chat rooms and bloggs like this blogg im posting and share opinions and ideas on particular issues or events ect.
