We were thinking this morning what kinds of questions you would need to ask to find out if someone was talking crap or if they actually understand the Web 2.0 and Social Media space.
Here are the Top 10 Questions to determine if you are Web 2.0 and Social Media Savvy!
1. Name 5 known Bloggers in the Web 2.0 & Social Media Space?
2. Name 5 Australian Bloggers (or non US / your country Bloggers)?
3. Name 5 Trends/Technologies that are defined as part of Web 2.0?
4. Name 3 Social Networks other than MySpace, FaceBook, LinkedIn and Bebo?
5. Name 2 Social Bookmarking sites?
6. Name 3 Social News sites?
7. Web 3.0 is often referred to as The s__________ web
8. What do RSS, CGM and UGC stand for?
9. Which Top 10 Ranked Web 2.0 company did the 3 the former PayPal employees Steve Chen, Chad Hurley & Jawed Karim create?
10. Name 2 Microblogging Platforms?
Have we missed anything? Are these questions to hard? Leave a comment and let us know!
(PS If you think these questions might are all technical and not relevant to the average person, let me remind you my mum said the same thing to me about Web Browsers and Email not so long ago…)
