Wanna know what Web 2.0 is?

[Dumpy Dooby]

This video basically sums up what Web 2.0 is. It tells us where Web 2.0 is taking us, and the goals of it all.

PS-
You should Digg it if you like it. The guy put a lot of effort into the video, and he deserves recognition for it.

That was an amazing video.

Is it already dugg somewhere?

[Dumpy Dooby]

I'm not sure. I don't really use Digg all that often. I only click "bury" or "digg" as I see 'em, and I didn't see this on Digg.

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 Mojiti: Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us and add your voice!

Transcripts are now available as well:

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: Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire 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.

The internet never ceases to amaze me. I am curious to see what things are like when my kids are old enough to use it.

I might even be frightened for them.

Oh, and that's a damn cool video.
