Web 2.0

I have written a couple of posts about Web 2.0, early on in my blog.

I've had various conversations revolving around this concept across the years. A comment I wrote on the 9rules community was the best explanation I could generate for such an abstract concept.

To many people out there, Web 2.0 is just a buzz-word. For quite a few, it is about AJAX and flashy effects on website. And very few really understand what it means.

The other day, one of my friends directed me to a YouTube video titled "Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us." And suddenly, a few more pieces of the jigsaw fell into place.

The title was intriguing enough. :) Go watch it yourself...

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

I urge you people to check out the video. It is one of the simplest, best and most explanatory videos I have ever seen.

And what's more, it's Web 2.0!
