Where's the Web 2.0 interaction

Had a surprising lecture this morning.

In talking to students about citizen journalism - and specifically the self-publishing aspect of citizen journalism and its influence on mass media - it became apparant that very few students use Twitter, write blogs or post to YouTube.

They seemed amazed by the potential of it all and hadn't really thought beyond the social-networking applications of the sources.

I always assume that this sort of thing will be second nature to people in their late teens and early 20s but that was not the case this morning.

Still, I hope I might have changed their view slightly. Especially when I became evangelical about AudioBoo and its potential - more on that later.
