"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:

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.

This is a very thought-provoking video. I enjoyed watching this, the semantics that went into the product. The thought that the developer of this video put into this is very intelligent. I enjoyed this video very much. And its very informative. Very scary at the same time, too.

This prof made it simple. Be glad you don't have to write the database or have dial-up internet connection. He speaks the truth...most everything has to be rethought, especially privacy. Mabey his next great video will be on PGP. I liked it and no one made me watch it.

This was one of the first videos I ever "Liked" (well, rated 5 stars back then) on YouTube. Anyone else miss the oooooooold YouTube layout? I love how Flickr and Blogger look almost identical today compared to 2007 :P
