 "The new Web is a very different thing. It's a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it's really a revolution."

A short video entitled "Web 2.0—The Machine is Us/ing Us" available at the YouTube site conveys a visual impression of what "Web 2.0" implies.
