While there has been much talk everywhere in conferences, events, blogsphere about Web 2.0 and such, this video touched me more than anything else. It was created by Michael Wesch, the Assistant Professor of Cultural Anthropology at Kansas State University. Amazing amazing summary of Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes.

After you sit through this video, chances are that you will catch your breath and go "WOW" ... and play it again. To the layman, you cannot get a better implementation that forms part of the bigger picture of Web 2.0 than this recently-released piece of work by Yahoo! called Yahoo! Pipes. This concept is well-explained via O'Reilly Radar here. Of course, my famous colleague is quick to explain he came up with this concept first.

And doesnt the background music of that video just rock ? It is by Deus and is offered under a Creative Commons Attribution NonCommercial-ShareAlike 2.0 license, which is yet another example of the interlinking of people sharing and collaborating media ...

My good friend and extreme brain in Singapore, Wee Hyong, pointed out to me he has been working on that recently and giving a talk soon on a much related subject here: Danaїdes: Continuous and Progressive Complex Queries on RSS Feeds
