"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes.
http://mediatedcultures.net
This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the las
t 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in
similar issues.

I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just d
ownload the video and change the audio track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial f
or those who are interested.

Don't buy in to what they are selling to you. The idea that this is a whole new kind of internet, and that it is better than what we have now. It is not!
