Thanks for posting that Rob, that is the most coherent definition of the term web 2.0 I’ve come across. The music was quite nice too.

No problem Peter, It’s a nicely made video and gets some of the key concepts across. Web 2.0 is all about people and linking them together in an empowerig way. The mantra always used to be that content is king, it still is, it’s just that we all have the opportunity to provide it in a Web 2.0 world.
