Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us

March 15th, 2012 by admin


Final version now available! youtube.com mediatedcultures.net Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes. This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one more final draft. Please leave comments on what could be changed or improved, or what needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be notified when the revision is released. UPDATE I just added this video to Mojiti where you can actually write your comments into the video itself. It is an exciting experiment in “Video 2.0″. Go check it out at mojiti.com and add your voice! Transcripts are now available as well: mediatedcultures.net A couple of people have noted that the statement, “XML was created to do just that” (separate form from content) is misleading because CSS enables the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in the next draft. My statement on XML is based on the following from xml.com: “In order to appreciate XML, it is important to understand why it was created. XML was created so that richly structured documents could be used over the web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for this purpose. HTML, as we’ve already discussed, comes bound with a set of semantics and does not provide arbitrary structure.” Thank you all for the comments. With your help the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully free of factual errors. A higher quality version is available for download here: www.mediafire.com Please note that this is the

    Very New Buddhist style, lets not overstate its importance though. As a teaching aide it is good. We’re not the web, the data is the web. There’s no way to represent our brain as data interactively or meaningfully so just because tags now reflect content over form doesn’t make this video true in a Dedekind sense.

    Very True… That’s how Google is evolving so quickly.
    By using all the data they are getting FREE of cost from those people who are happily placing the Google Analytics Code in their Websites…! YouTube, Google Search, Blogs, RSS, Twitter, and everything the video said :)

    3 minutes and 17 seconds of ridiculous flow

  44. Comment byEastCoastin1

    “I’m a decorated vet, I regulate and wreck
    Never hesitated yet, I’m gettin’ heavy weighted checks
    If you would dare ask if I’m dedicated – yes
    I spit, live rounds that’ll penetrate a vest”

    in my opinion sickest part of this flow! Amazing!
    my homies are haters they give ridiculous accusations that lil wayne and drake are better! pfftttt…!
