I know it’s an old one and most of you could already know mr. wesch, but viewing it again gave me some hints about some of the discussions we had during and just after the sciblog08.
The first is about “what-the-hell-is-this-so-called-web2.0”-thing, an issue that emrged (not exactly in these therms) following henry’s entry. there’s a part of the video that explains really well the social networks (the main part of web 2.0): the keyword is ‘language’.
The other things the video shows really well is why I don’t like a unique identifier when we are talking about things coming from the web. And I’m referring to the interesting discussion we have in the library during the unconference session moderated by Maxine. At a certain point, Wesch’s video explains what’s happening when we are trying to organize this huge amount of information we have on the web. It says:“When we post and tag the pictures, we are teaching the Machine. Each time we forgot a link, we teach an idea”.

The Machine is Us/ing Us
I note that you didn’t tag your blog post ;-)
