In my quest to strengthen my imperfect grasp on concepts like "Web 2.0" I'm always on the alert for material developed by others that shed light on any of them.

There's a lot written about such matters, but unfortunately not all of it is worth the volume of cyberspace taken up.

However I've just come across a little gem of presentation on Web 2.0 by Michael Wesch, Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University

It's a short Flash video giving his interpretation of Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes, or The Machine is Us/ing Us.

This YouTube link is to his final version, as of late February 2007 (turn on your speakers):

There are higher quality versions available for download: Windows Media file (55 MB) and Quicktime file (96 MB). He specifies "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything."

But there's more. PLEASE READ ON...
