Xtranormal :)
The videos that people in the class made were funny, and there were some really good ones published on the site as well.
I think the only problem was with the whole previewing thing, where it would take ages to load. But apart from that, it was good. :)

What is the difference between these random letters?
JPEG is an image format where a colour image is compressed. It is called lossy compression, and can reduce the file size to as little as 5%
However, some or a lot of detail can be lost in JPEG images.
JPEG images are especially for "real world scenes", basically photos.
GIF - Graphics Interchange Format
GIF is an image format that supports colour, various resolutions and data compression. It is limited to 256 colours, which makes it better for illustrations rather than photos.
GIF is pretty much the only way to put animations on the internet. It is also used for logos, line drawings and icons.
PNG - Portable Network Graphics
PNG is an image format very similar to GIF except more advanced, with more depth in colour.
It is used for pretty much everything GIF is, but not animation.

Wikispaces & Web 2.0
Wikispaces is a Wiki where anyone can contribute for free, as long as they have an account. Wikispaces is a very good way to give people information about subjects. I liked the way it was set out, and that it was easy to access.
It was interesting hearing about the different websites people did their Wikis on.
The only problem I saw was when I couldn't get screenshots on my Wiki, but that may have just been my technology failing.
WEB 2.0
Web 2.0... To be honest, it irritated me a little. There were some good websites on there, but there were a lot of totally unnecessary ones and so many websites that did the same thing.
It would be very good if you were looking for something specifically, but when browsing it was a bit too much choice.
Apart from that, it was a pretty good website :)
