Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us

February 4, 2007

The video “Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us” by Michael Wesch (embedded below) was recently posted on YouTube. It’s about Web 2.0 and the rapid spread of links to it via many blogs and Digg.com is a perfect example of the communication technology the video is about in action. Is the medium the message, or is the message the medium? A very elegant articulation of Web 2.0 technology, albeit in under five minutes. It’s fun, clever, and has spread like wildfire, Bravo!
