Web 2.0: Radical democratization?
Submitted by shiri on Sat, 2007-01-27 21:57.
I was at Sundance last week and the best of anything I saw while I was there was a panel discussion about Web 2.0. This being Sundance, a lot of big-up people were speaking on the panel, sponsored by "New Frontier" - the edgy, techy, interesting arm of the Festival.
Karen Swisher was moderating the panel and she was fantastic - very droll but well-equipped with a hyperactive bullshit-detector. She's a journalist with the Wall Street Journal and her take on Web 2.0 seemed to be: why are corporations such idiots, and why haven't they embraced this? As she put it: "If someone's going to eat your lunch, it might as well be you."
