O'Reilly Webcast: Web Squared

Tim O'Reilly and John Battelle explore their vision of where the web is heading: As we approach the six-year mark from the original Web 2.0 thesis, the trends are becoming clearer than ever. Once applications live in the cloud, the key to success will be harnessing network effects so that those applications literally get better the more people use them. But that's just the beginning. Today we see that applications are being driven by sensors, not just by people typing on keyboards. They are becoming platforms for collective action, not just collective intelligence. The "data shadows" that people and things leave in cyberspace are becoming richer and deeper, and are being exploited in new ways. All this is adding up to something profound and different. When web meets world, we get Web Squared.

With regard to the sound quality, you have to understand that it's recorded over a phone line. While it sounds fine during the webcast, the fact that it isn't video quality sound is apparent when you play the recording back here. Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do about it, but we hope that still you'll enjoy the content of the webcast.

The sound is fine, you can understand the speakers perfectly clearly.

For future releases, couldn't you set up a microphone (podcast-like quality) to record the speaker's voice as he/she is on the phone? This way you could then just get the video and place the high-quality recording on top of it?

the sound quality is a real problem.
