Lecture #6 January 26th

Peer review is loved by some and hated by others. Some people have the view that it is always going to be influenced by some bias and therefore unaccurate. This could be  true, on the other hand though some people have the conception that if a large number of  people are saying that a product is good then it must be. I think that these days its just easier to go along with what the majority of people think is the best thing. If you are an individualist and have the time to make decisions based entirely on your own thoughts then i say good on you. For me in the case of buying a new phone or choosing what would be the best search engine to use i am more than happy to be a sheep and go along with what the majority agrees with.

Web2.0 is all new for me so i was hearing about it for the first time. I suppose the concept of User Generated Content is a smart idea really. If the user is the creator of the content, then the content is never going to be irrelevant. A smart concept really!!
