Rev2: The 2nd Summary

I'm back at it again with the second part of my homework assignment, summarizing another blog that I have picked from the list of the Top 10 Web 2.0 blogs to follow. For this second installation I picked REV2 which was described as covering everyday topics from web 2.0. I'd never heard of this site before so I was pretty interested in the authors, Sid Yadav and his team of bloggers, take on a variety of topics.

Upon clicking on the link you're taken to a nice clean site that isn't as busy as other sites such as Mashable. Again, there are the usual navigation buttons at the top of the page. These buttons take you to posts whose topics range from news on social media and tech companies as well as tech trends and product reviews. I have, personally, never had the desire to read tech reviews but since I was here I decided to give it a honest try. I have to say that the content on this site, while considerably less than on Mashable, was very engaging and interesting. I read a quick article on the fast tracking success of the live streaming app Periscope, again, very engaging and well...short.
The social media sharing buttons are not quite as prominent on the page as they are on other sites. The buttons are located at the bottom of the page and you can share the individual posts and of course the site recommends more articles based off of the ones that you click to read.  I suppose if there was a negative to this site it would be that the content posted is rather dated. The post at the very top of the homepage is 8 months old where other sites are updated very frequently. I'm not sure if this blog has been abandon or if there has been some change to the site and maybe because I am not a frequent visitor I am unaware.

So there was my quick summary of the blog site REV2.  If you have any questions about the live streaming app Periscope I mentioned earlier (another addition to the Web 2.0 universe) heres a quick video explaining how it works here:
