cripes, another so called internet 'expert' that knows very little what she is talking about. Granted this video is 3 years old though so you can't blame her for just becoming aware of something thinking its something new. Good try though.

[...] Se na primeira geração da Web os sites eram trabalhados como unidades isoladas, passa-se agora para uma estrutura integrada de funcionalidades e conteúdo. Logo, O’Reilly destaca a passagem da ênfase na publicação (...) para a participação (Alex Primo, 2007)

Awesome video! You truly are a leader. The content you provide, are the same great techniques that have caused me to achieve massive success, all through free marketing. Keep up the good work, and look forward to future videos...

I disagree, I think it is to build Web pages using some new html tags that describe the meaning content of the pages.

By contrast the older version was focused on the format of the content.

What they describe is not Web 2.0 but it is a new way to interact with Web applications.

I think there are a TON of good critiques of the internet, and of the hype around web 2.0. I think neil postman and sherry turkle write about those critiques well, but to say that amateur content is some kind of serious drawback, just creates a strawman opponent.

What the fuck is wrong with amateur content... tell him to goto newgrounds or some shit and tell me there isnt good shit on there, i wanna firebomb this guys house (JOKE FBI, JOKE)

Thanks daytime12, The only tip or suggestion I can give is to be aware of how delicate the state of our internet is today. Scare tactics have been and will be used to motivate or simply scare the general public into privatizing the internet. If we know that scare tactics will be used then the tactics won't seem so scary anymore. Knowledge is power.
