[Web4lib] Re: Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us

[Craig, Emory]

Some of you may have already come across this video on Web 2.0 from
Michael Wesch, an anthropology professor at Kansas State, but if not, it
is definitely worth watching. The link showed up on Seth Godin's blog
last week and has been getting enough views on YouTube. As others point
out, it touches on many library 2.0 issues.

Hi Frye Friends,

Our Library Web Developer and Strategist shared this video about Web
2.0. It's really quite well thought out and well done.

Hi all,

I think many of you would enjoy this youtube video created by a
professor in Kansas about ideas, content, distribution, display, and
interaction. I found the link through Seth Godin's blog and Godin makes
the point that in an environment of publish or perish where publishing
becomes free (online), "a professor can boil down complex topics to
vivid video." He then asks, "why aren't tens of thousands of professors
scrambling to do this?"

Regardless of that observation and question, I think you will really
enjoy this video which touches on Web/Library 2.0 issues as well.
