OK, so if that one was craptaculous marketspeak, This one is a little different: "Digital Ethnographer" Mike Wesch of the Kansas State has produced a couple of brief, brilliant videos about how the Net is changing information: "Web 2.0 ... The Machine is Us/ing Us" (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=NLlGopyXT_g) was the first that I came across. "Information R/evolution" (http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=-4CV05HyAbM) talks about how the "old paper world" focus on categorization and "shelves" is giving way to tags and search. The way we organize information, in fact, the _need_ to organize it into categories and hierarchies, is giving way to letting the information organize itself through keywords and so forth. Good stuff, I thought. Dave _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
