What Is Web 2.0?

This video titled, “Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us” was created by Michael Wesch, an Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. I think it really captures the essence of what Web 2.0 is.

I loved the video. I broadened my perspective again and brought me back to the big picture. That's where I do my best thinking. Thanks John.

This video is perfect for anyone with ADHD

What web 2.0 is: Unable to play YouTube videos on John Chow's blog. :P

Yeah FF 1.5 doesn't like video's on John's blog. But once you update your FF it will work!

When I click 'Check for Updates' it says none are available! I'm running 1.5.0.9. Are you suggesting I move to an alpha product?! ;)

No, move to the 2.0.1 line, it's a separate development thread so your 1.5 browser doesn't see it as an upgrade.

2.xxx lines are much better..

although for me i remember the update notification came up..?? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

Nice video...we are in control now. Time magazine named YOU the person of the year!

Yes, this is an awesome video. It sums up what web 2.0 really is (actually, I had no clue before I saw the video). It's about people, people!

Nice video John, entertaining :)

Thanks for sharing this video

Nice video, already saw it and blogged about it, I think the term 'Web 2.0' is mainly marketing/hype than an actual refreshing thing on the web, but that's not too important.

Ya, I put this video on my blog 3 or 4 days ago too..

it's a great video.

From what I know, the video is still under editing work, and they will come up with a finalized version soon!

I am still waiting to be able to download my brain onto a computer and delete stuff I don't want and upload stuff I want to learn!

This was a pretty cool video though. I'm not really seeing much of a center point to it though. What is he trying to say?

Is where the internet going wrong? Is it going the right way but in the wrong fashion? It had me a little lost on a few parts.

Cool Video.

Where is my brain controlled cursor though?
