David Warlick has condensed the construct of Web 2.0 into three simple points:

1. Content is Conversation

This, I like. The conversation is strong and it is often (:) ) lucid. The media of the conversations invites even more conversation. This reminds me of something said by our Canadian visitors last week. They talked about kids publishing in the media of their times. Blogs, podcasts, v-logs, wikis … are the first web-media of our times. Who know what is going to be next.

2. Content is organizing itself

David says,

Well this is a rather melodramatic statement, meant to start a conversation about how the way that information flows is largely resulting from the behavior of its readers. Aggregators, mashups, blog linkings, and other more esoteric techniques are causing us to reshape the information environment on a global and on a personal level.

I’m not so sure about that. To organise, structure, categorise content or “stuff” requires an understanding of tagging and the basics of social networking. I think that it’s still very haphazard. Tagging is a very personal thing and many of us just aren’t that good at it. So our content becomes pretty dis-organised and often the good “stuff” is only picked up when one of the better organised conversationalists picks up on it.

3. People are connect to each other through their content

This is a great statement. I’m not sure if he wants “connected” or “connecting” but I love it. Our content defines our connectors and our connections.

And so communities are built.
