Web 2.0, the Read-Write web - call it what you like but know that it’s a huge topic these days. No longer is the web a static “read-only” presence. These days folks like you and me (and our kids) can easily post content to the web to contribute to what’s there. Think blogging and podcasting. Think YouTube, flickr, and del.icio.us. Granted, some of this content may not be worth every reader’s time - but that doesn’t impact on our right to post it. We are all authors, all contributors. Or we could be.
This past weekend, links to a short film posted to YouTube started floating around the blogosphere. It’s a well done piece about Web 2.0 - how the web as we know it is changing. Take a look.

Wow! The idea that anyone could edit, delete, or otherwise affect information adds a bizarre element. Authorship will certainly come into question. Wow!
