video of web 2.0

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6SefbFbixI


Here is a cool video about Web 2.0, specifically about the power this guy has gained through broadcasting using Web 2.0. He talks about how as a kid he bought a radio transmitter and started having his own little broadcasts, and now he can reach so many people because of web 2.0. It really shows how much technology has advanced and how much more connected people are. His first broadcasts were just to his neighbors and family because that was all he could reach. Now of course this guy has a podcast and he has a global audience. The funny part is that the guy says he can now reach twice as many people as when he used to do his radio broadcast. Well, that would only make 10, so maybe this guy misspoke. But regardless, it is an interesting video that shows just another example of the power of web 2.0.

I'm in NABJ (The National Association of Black Journalists) on campus and at our meeting tonight they encouraged everyone to become apart of Web 2.0 and the blogsphere, because they will be left behind if they don't. It is such a great way to network, connect, and reach a large number of people. There are many different majors in our student chapter of NABJ, like journalism, communication, and english, but we all need to be apart of Web 2.0. This medium is so powerful!
