"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 last 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. Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download: Windows Media File (55 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?2wnmpy2ibz1 Quicktime File (96 MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?axhbjnmw4yn Mojiti Version (for comments, translations, etc.): http://mojiti.com/kan/2743/5984 This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License. So you are welcome to download it, share it, even change it, just as long as you give me some credit and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything. 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 download 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 for those who are interested.

Nov 3, 2008 - Nice history lesson. that mwesch person is all over the information superinterwebnet, and seems to be really into anthropology! :) But seriously, tags don't work, they are never complete enough (or consistent, or standardized), and sharing doesn't seem to work well either (it tends to be one-hop only), but hey, I'll help be the machine, if the other gears will rethink ethics, among many other things..

Nov 19, 2008 - A brilliant piece of work! I train non profit organizations in Alberta how to use social media. I always play this video towards the beginning of the workshop so they have a sense of where things are going in terms of online communications and why.

Dec 2, 2008 - great video, watched this in an ethnography course. insightful... the question is, do enough of us really fully use the internet, and use it in the way described here, to imply this broad shift in our cultural thinking?
