Web 2.0: Do you really know what it is?

At work today someone mentioned Web 2.0 and they weren’t quite sure what it was all about. Being a blogger and part of Web 2.0 I gave them a simple explanation. Then it got me thinking. Do I really know what Web 2.0 is all about and if not how could I educate myself better. What I found in my travels were some great articles that explained Web 2.0 to the non blogging and non 2.0 world. And here is an article about Web 2.0 and Medicine.

Some of us bloggers may want to read the articles as well as watch this awesome video that breaks Web 2.0 down to an anthropological sense.

Web 2.0: Voice Thread

One of my Fuel friends Princesse Ecossaise of La Bell Saison posted a Voice Thread on her blog. What is a Voice Thread, it is a wicked cool enhancement to your blog and the experience of your readers. Here is an example of one of the first one that I have made.
