Pucha Kucha Presentation

For our next presentation we had to prepare a 5-minute presentation about O’Reilly’s web 2.0 and one of its topics and later be given back peer feedback. In my group which consisted of four people we came up with the group name; Media Moguls.

The possible subjects that we could include in our presentation was Web as Platform / Cloud computing, The Long Tail, Collective Intelligence, Folksonomy, Data as the Next Intel Inside, Software above the level of a Single Device, Network Effects, and Attention Economy/Free Labour.

Out of the eight subjects we chose to present the information on Collective Intelligence. We wanted to get to work straight away so we assigned the people in our group with different titles or attributes that are connected to collective intelligence. For our presentation we wanted to find the proper definition for web 2.0 and from there we would include our separate slides, so we did our research.

For our presentation we decided to only include photographs of what we are going to talk about, this is because we watched a video in our workshop on how we should present so we took our choice of method and used notes rather than reading it of the presentation, this is so there is more interaction with the audience and they will not be distracted by the information on the presentation. We believe this is a better way to present. In my slides I was to touch on the social media sites and search engines such as, Yahoo, Twitter, and Amazon. The main outcome of our presentation and our individual slides was to explain how data is collected by web sites such as these and are used to benefit the users.

Notes   

Yahoo –

Twitter –

Created march 2006 launched July

Twitter is a social networking device which is similar to a blog

Twitter is one of the largest growing social networks; it has grown like this because it is easily accessible, via mobile phone, lap/ computer.

Changes, which allowed us to watch and share videos, groups, and images

Twitter also famous because you can access the information that you want to hear, such as your favourite celeb news, worldwide news or what your friend is saying.

If there is news this is a good source to receive information because it is feeding you round the clock information also, you can be receiving first had information from someone who could be there.

This is similar to word or mouth which travels very quick and reading somebody else’s account
