by 20 Comments

This video just came across my path today, thanks to Philippe Borremans, Web 2.0 explained in video: Teaching the Machine.

    I always find it amazing how the web is linking people together; how a conversation starts and then takes off, benefiting from each additional voice and perspective. It’s what keeps us hooked, and exploring this new digital world, where ground up organization and democracy work in a way they don’t always do as well in the corpus world.
