Video Description:
"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes.

This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in
similar issues.

I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

You certainly know your stuff !
And the punchline is interesting.
I wonder what will come of this, What's the catch?.
Thanks.
that's about it, then you go on with your life
the question is, do enough of us really fully use the internet, and use it in the way described here, to imply this broad shift in our cultural thinking?
