Video: Web 2.0 in five minutes
Got a few minutes to procrastinate? You might like this "digital ethnography" video that I found over at Information Aesthetics, which features a cameo appearance by the byline of CNET News.com's Candace Lombardi. It's all a little bit techno-utopian, but nevertheless pretty cool.
Caroline McCarthy, a CNET News staff writer, is a downtown Manhattanite happily addicted to social-media tools and restaurant blogs. Her pre-CNET resume includes interning at an IT security firm and brewing cappuccinos. E-mail Caroline.

- This is great intro video I can use at a presentation in a few days. Rather than bore the audience with PowerPoint slides with embed video and sound, this YouTube video can start the show for me. Now all I have to figure out is getting the YouTube downloaded to my laptop. Still haven't gotten that part worked out yet. Learn by doing. Doug C. www.dougcaldwell.net

- I am really trying to be constructive here - the 'presentation' went so fast as to be almost totally unintelligable. It would have been nice to have a way to slow down the 'film'. A few spoken words at appropriate points might have helped also. Please, presenters/creators, not everyone watching has the ability of a teenage game player to follow the action - much less, to comprehend it.

when I reviewed my comment I found an error in spelling. Clicking the 'Edit' button returned me to the creation window - but without the original content! Don't know if that's a machine error or a program design error.
