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

Video Info

Author: mwesch
Description: Final version now available! http://youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g http://mediatedcultures.net Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes. This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one more final draft. Please leave comments on what could be changed or improved, or what needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be notified when the revision is released. UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti where you can actually write your comments into the video itself. It is an exciting experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out at http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add your voice! Transcripts are now available as well: http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=78 A couple of people have noted that the statement, "XML was created to do just that" (separate form from content) is misleading because CSS enables the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in the next draft. My statement on XML is based on the following from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it is important to understand why it was created. XML was created so that richly structured documents could be used over the web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for this purpose. HTML, as we've already discussed, comes bound with a set of semantics and does not provide arbitrary structure." Thank you all for the comments. With your help the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully free of factual errors. A higher quality version is available for download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd Please note that this is the second draft and the final version will not be available until late February after I review all comments and revise the video. Please return for a new download link at that time.

Absolutely brilliant!

?????

whats the name of the song

do you think the internet has globalized social interaction, or isolated community itself. theirs a fairly debatable question. what do you think guys?

We are the internet. So, the answer is, when people become self aware and enslave themselves :)

We watched this video in my AP English class as an example for a prject that we are doing. I liked it so much that I started searching youtube for it. This video is awesome. Having the idea do do something like this can be used for many things, and it reaches people. I thought that this video was amazing.

this is horse manure

want to see see funny shit go to mandrow no joke funny shit

So, when is the internet going to become self aware and enslave us all?

since this is the first video that comes up when you write youtube video into google, I thought I'd write this comment hear; youtube has a message above saying; youtube will be undergoing scheduled maintenance stating a 6PM. That's one thing I really like about youtube where they warn you of things like this beforehand. Please give some tips to the idiot staff at Yahoo Answers who disable that website unceremoniously while you're in the middle of asking questions and have no sign up at all

wow man!!!really amazing!!even i'm working in making a video industries but i think i'm still had no idea to compare the way making of this way...b.t.w,the message im not really focus on it...marvelous job done!!

man, this is the best video i've seen on youtube in awhile.

A little hard to keep up. But a great vid and a great message. Rethink indeed!

Amazing work! Really outstanding!

I thought that video was great

talking about last comment. The Movie was great.

Over simplified, almost to the point of general ignorance.

Power comes from the barrel of a gun. Ask any capitalist. It's free markets until things go wrong (which is continuously), then it's torture chambers and genocide for the many... and give-aways for the rich few. "Two point oh" that.

Great video. Using web2.0 techniques has enabled me to build a successful online networking business. I now teach others to do the same.

Brilliant. Info-art. Clever. Concise. Elegant.

very alarming. And informative
