Watered-down "The World is Flat" plus Ajax (avoids round-tripping a full web page and just sends the data (i.e. XML)) plus boring and obvious history lesson plus no useful content so far equals waste of my time. Frank, you're pointing out things people in the tech industry already know. How about some concrete examples of businesses that should be started instead of pointing to what others have done. This is basically an infomercial. :(

dionysus...thank you for your comments, I will add more content. Indeed I have been working on this and will get it posted before mid May. I agree many tech folks are aware of this... I am trying to get non techies up to speed as well. Excellent points you make! Thank you - Frank Shines

AJAX is a very good point. As "Leporidus" notes this technology makes it possible to make browser based applications behave more like desktop apps. Excellent point.

The review above is stupid and unfair. Frank is pointing out accurate information to anyone who might seek it. There is no place on this video that says "Tech Industry Pros Only". It is very good and insightful. Just because you already know a lot of it means nothing. Plenty of people don't.

I don't understand much about this web 2.0 stuff but it is kind of interested to where it internet is going. Your video kind of make it easier for me to understand a little bit more.

The "Web 2.0" buzzword boils down to mentioning websites that utilize AJAX (another common buzzword). AJAX consists of "Asynchronous Javascript And XML". As any good web designer can tell you, transmitting data (XML etc.) via Javascript has been done since 1997, and it's overwhelmingly done in a synchronous fashion. No website the video mentions relies on this technology. So what?!
