A montage of some of my favorite Web 2.0 features
Arapahoe Basin Ski Patroller, Tony C, and Avalanche Rescue Dog, Ruby, catching up with Kids Club Arapahoe skiers.
Why: This picture is worth one thousand words. It tells a story, and captures the essence of Arapahoe Basin. Makes you want to visit the mountain, doesn’t it?
Other Web 2.0 highlights: Arapahoe Basin‘s website also features a blog written by its CEO, webcams, and interactive information.
Why: Sometimes, living in my snowy, mountain paradise, I need a taste of the tropics. I visit when I need a taste of island life, and a glimpse of the sun, crystal clear blue waters, and palm trees.
Web 2.0 features: GotoSt.Croix.com features a “Sun”Blog, and all the information that you’d need to know about traveling to and visiting St. Croix.
The Facebook Effect
Why: Facebook keeps me connected with my 200+ closest friends, some of whom I haven’t seen since high school, and probably won’t see again any time soon! It’s great to know what’s going on with people who were part of my past, as well as those that I’m not so connected with in my present. I’m just a part of the more than 35 million people who regularly update our statuses, photos, and personal information for all of our friends to see. I love the ideas of using Facebook as a part of an IMC initiative – it works if it’s right for your demographic.
These are the top three places that I visit when I venture online. Without Web 2.0, these “experiences” wouldn’t be possible.
