Web 2.0: The Separation of Form and Content

Professor Michael Wesch at Kansas State University has a website called mediatedcultures.net which is the home base for a class he runs taking an ethnographic approach to YouTube and the vlogosphere.

He created a short video to attempt to explain how Web 2.0 functions as primarily a way to separate form from content, and re-view the way people use communications technologies like the Internet. I've presented his original video below, but I'd also recommend checking out mediatedcultures.net and taking a look at some of his students' work. Personally I find his technical skills fairly amazing.



Wesch was also profiled in Wired Magazine's 2007 "Rave Awards".
