So, what's all this talk about Web 2.0? What does it mean, anyways?
This video, entitled "The Machine is Us/ing Us" by Professor Mike Wesch, offers a fascinating illustration of the World Wide Web's transition from a linear source of information to a dynamic, collaborative, creative community.
Blogging, social networking (sites like del.icio.us or Flickr), RSS, wikis (the most famous being Wikipedia) and more allow individuals to take charge of and customize how they receive, create, and deliver content, with the end goal being connecting, communicating, collaborating, and creating communities around the world. How will you use your voice in this new reality?

Dear Anne,
Thanks for helping make sense of Web 2.0. The power of the newest version of the web is amazing - and a bit frightening!
Really enjoyed the video "The Machine is Us/ing US."
Wow.
Thanks!
This is the first time I have ever visited a blog. I have much to learn from you! Your buddy in the South End...
