This week will be eventfull to dig deep into Web 2.0 as Webminers- that we like to adress ourselves. Blogs, Professional Networking, Social Networking, Boolean Search and Internet tools. Like many important concepts, Web 2.0 doesn't have a hard boundary, but rather, a gravitational core. You can visualize Web 2.0 as a set of principles and practices that tie together a veritable solar system of sites that demonstrate some or all of those principles, at a varying distance from that core.

Social network is building relationships between individuals or groups across globe. It connects individuals from various part of the globe with a common idea, concept or thought which neednot necessary bework related. Social networking can be effectively utilized for building your network with the outside world. Eg: Orkut, Facebook, Yahoo, ect…
Professional Networking is to get connected and share thoughts, ideas and have a critical role to play in the management of organisations, enabling problem solving, decision-making, collaboration, and information sharing, as well as facilitating trade and commerce.
Eg: Facebook, Tweeters, Ning, Plaxo, ect…
Boolean Search allow you to combine words and phrases using the words AND, OR, NOT and NEAR (otherwise known as Boolean operators) to limit, widen, or define your search. Most Internet search engines and Web directories default to these Boolean search parameters anyway, but a good Web searcher should know how to use basic Boolean operators.
Boolean Strings is a great tool to find resumes off the internet.
Boolean searches can be utilized effectively everyday to build a very strong network and are run through google, Netscape, msn, yahoo, ECT…
