After reading the Course Reader on Professional Communication Technologies I now understand the difference from the web tools 1.0 to 2.0 and I can see how reliant on these tools I have become. I feel nowadays the performance industry is so fast paced and without realising it I have become very reliant on the Web using it everyday as a very important tool. As a performer I am constantly using web 2.0 tools to communicate with potential employers to maximise my career potential. I find the need to have constant access in particular to my email, facebook in order for me to increase my chances in securing work and making important contacts. I have found that a lot of opportunities can be missed if a quick response isn’t given. My eyes have definitely been opened to the importance of Web 2.0 with its place in professional practice and how and I should use it to develop my own career.
Thanks for that post Rebecca...in what way do you use web 2.0 and social media to present your professional profile? Is your professional profile different to your personal profile?
