Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes.
This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one
more final draft. Please leave comments on what
could be changed or improved, or what needs to be
excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be
notified when the revision is released.
UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti where
you can actually write your comments into the
video itself. It is an exciting experiment in
"Video 2.0". Go check it out at
http://mojiti.com/kan/2024/3313 and add your
voice!
Transcripts are now available as well:

A couple of people have noted that the statement,
"XML was created to do just that" (separate form
from content) is misleading because CSS enables
the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate
CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow.
Perhaps in the next draft.
My statement on XML is based on the following from
xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it is
important to understand why it was created. XML
was created so that richly structured documents
could be used over the web. The only viable
alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for
this purpose. HTML, as we've already discussed,
comes bound with a set of semantics and does not
provide arbitrary structure."
Thank you all for the comments. With your help
the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully
free of factual errors.
A higher quality version is available for download
here: http://www.mediafire.com/?6duzg3zioyd
Please note that this is the second draft and the
final version will not be available until late
February after I review all comments and revise
the video. Please return for a new download link
at that time.
The song is "There's Nothing Impossible" by Deus,

"Web 2.0" in just under 5 minutes.
http://mediatedcultures.net
This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version
of the video that was featured on YouTube in
February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in
true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as
is and start working on future projects. Many of
my future videos will address the last 30 seconds
of this video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the
earlier draft. It has been a great experience to
connect with so many people interested in
similar issues.
Once again, there are higher quality versions
available for download:

So you are welcome to download it, share it, even
change it, just as long as you give me some credit
and you don't sell it or use it to sell anything.
I received many more positive comments than
negative about the song choice (great work Deus!),
but if you are one of those who does not like the
song just download the video and change the audio
track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch),
working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas.
I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony
Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations.
Someday I might make a video tutorial for those
who are interested.

Google Tech Talks
October, 23 2007
ABSTRACT
For most of us who work on the Internet, the Web
is all we have ever really known. It's almost
impossible to imagine a world without browsers,
URLs and HTTP. But in the years leading up to Tim
Berners-Lee's world-changing invention, a few
visionary information scientists were exploring
alternative systems that often bore little
resemblance to the Web as we know it today. In
this presentation, author and information
architect Alex Wright will explore the heritage of
these almost-forgotten systems in search of
promising ideas left by the historical wayside.
The presentation will focus on the pioneering work
of Paul Otlet, Vannevar Bush, and Doug Engelbart,
forebears of the 1960s and 1970s like Ted Nelson,
Andries van Dam, and the Xerox PARC team, and more
recent forays like Brown's Intermedia system.
We'll trace the heritage of these systems and the
solutions they suggest to present day Web
quandaries, in hopes of finding clues to the
future in the recent technological past.
Speaker: Alex Wright

| Enhancing Web 2.0 Accessibility Via AxsJAX: A Tutorial at Google - Charles L.... |
 |
Google Tech Talks
July 15, 2008
ABSTRACT
Google is the Web's premier creator of
user-friendly Web 2.0 applications, and we have
long viewed it as part of our mission to do for
users in the long tail (AKA users with special
needs) what we've achieved for the mainstream user
see this Google I/O talk entitled Design Patterns
for Enhanced Accessibility for background.
Accessibility 2.0 is now a hot topic on the Web
and we would like to move from a world where AJAX
applications were a straight No-No with respect to
blind users to a world where these same
technologies are used to enhance their usability
for everyone.
Google-AxsJAX is an Open Source framework for
injecting usability enhancements into Web 2.0
applications. In this talk, Charles Chen and T. V.
Raman will give a hands-on tutorial on using
AxsJAX. The tutorial will cover the following:
A brief introduction to the additional opcodes
introduced by W3C ARIA to the assembly language of
the Web (AKA HTML+JavaScript).
AxsJAX library abstractions built on the above
that help Web developers generate relevant
feedback via the user's adaptive technology of
choice.
Steps in creating fluent eyes-free interaction to
Web applications, including enabling rapid access
to parts of a complex Web page.
The tutorial will provide a step-by-step walk
through in defining AxsJAX enhancements to a Web
page including:
An overview of the developer tools we use.
Discovering pain-points in Web interaction and
designing improvements iteratively.
And time permitting, we might even demonstrate how
Raman now makes up for all the time he save thanks
to an efficient eyes-free auditory user interface
by playing JawBreaker and reading XKCD via their
AxsJAXed versions.
Note that writing AxsJAX enhancements to Web
applications can help you win cool swag and
bragging rights! The goal of this hands-on
tutorial is to help you get there faster!
Speaker: T. V. Raman
T. V. Raman works on auditory interfaces and Web
applications at Google.
