Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us

Fresh off of our discussion today, there is the glory of YouTube and its immense presence in the sharing and collaboration of the Web 2.0.

And while this quick video captures a lot the ideas of the possibilites of the format and its inspirations to the general population, it avoids much of the talk we had today regarding the signal to noise ratio.

But the video does a nice job of tying together the overall concept of the Web 2.0 as a shift in the way information is not simply formatted for print anymore...the information now has information and where we take that possibility is starting to evolve before our eyes into environments that spawn and grow with increasing network effects and shifts in the paradigms of how to absorb the content.
