Tim O’Reilly: What is Web 2.0?

Markus Angermeier: The Web 2.0 Extended Mindcloud. The former Aperto Art Director and his alternative yet nice fitting interpretation of “Web 2.0” as, right, a tag cloud.
-
Kansas State’s Michael Resch: Web 2.0: The Machine is us/ing us (video, 4.5 minutes). Catchy, impressive, and just great demonstration of the “key concepts” behind all the hype or progress. Must-see, even though I don’t embed YouTube videos yet.
