1)Using web 2.0 means that the user has to be more interactive with their computer. Many popular websites are based on information that the users have put in. We can't just sit back and read, we have to interact with the internet as well as have a fairly good understanding of how to use it.
2)The messages that we see on the internet are owned by many different people. They could be owned by the website owner, or they could be owned by the user. (ex: on blogs, facebook, or myspace, the user is the one who has put up the information.)
3)Because there is so much personal information availiable on the internet, advertisers could easily use this to help their sales. Just by reading someone's blog, you can tell a lot about them. You get an idea of their interests, their likes, dislikes and hobbies. The internet can give us a good look into many people's everyday lives.
4) I think that in wikipedia's case, experts are better than masses. Just because lots of people agree that something sounds right doesn't mean it's true. It would be nice if we could be positive that the things we look up on the internet are always true.
5)http://www.rminder.com/ would be helpful to our class because it could be like an agenda. Instead of writing dates of important things down and then probably forgetting to read them until it's too late, this website will let you enter important events and then they will send you a text message or a voice message at a predetermined time to remind you.

I agree with almost all of your answers, except for number two. I respectfully disagree because I believe that the website, web 2.0, is owned by web 2.0 and although others post and share their links, they do not possess it.
I really like the site you chose, www.rminder.com, it seems really interesting! Good pick! :)
