Most early websites were written in HTML
HTML
HTML was designed to define the structure of a web document.
p is a structural element referring to “paragraph”
LI
LI is also a structural element referring to “List Item”
As HTML expanded, more elements were added.
Including stylistic elements like B for bold and I for italics
Suck elements defined how content would be formatted.
In other words, form and content became inseparable in HTML
Digital Text can do better.
Form and content can be separated.

XML was designed to do just that.

same with
CNN.com
and
and virtually all other elements in this document.
They describe the content, not the form.
So the data can be exported,
free of formatting constraints.

We Are the Web
by Kevin Kelly
“When we post and then tag pictures
teaching the Machine to give names,
we are teaching the Machine.
Each time we forge a link,
we teach it an idea.
Think of the 100 billion times per day humans click on a Web page
teaching the Machine”

[...] [QUOTEthe blurb at yt]Web 2.0 in just under 5 minutes. This is the 2nd draft, and I plan on doing one more final draft. Please leave comments on what could be changed or improved, or what needs to be excluded or included. Subscribe if you want to be notified when the revision is released. UPDATE: I just added this video to Mojiti where you can actually write your comments into the video itself. It is an exciting experiment in "Video 2.0". Go check it out at Mojiti: Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us and add your voice! Transcripts are now available as well: Digital Ethnography » Blog Archive » The Machine is Us/ing Us Transcription A couple of people have noted that the statement, "XML was created to do just that" (separate form from content) is misleading because CSS enables the same effect with HTML. I tried to integrate CSS into the video, but it ruined the flow. Perhaps in the next draft. My statement on XML is based on the following from xml.com: "In order to appreciate XML, it is important to understand why it was created. XML was created so that richly structured documents could be used over the web. The only viable alternatives, HTML and SGML, are not practical for this purpose. HTML, as we’ve already discussed, comes bound with a set of semantics and does not provide arbitrary structure." Thank you all for the comments. With your help the next draft will be cleaned up and hopefully free of factual errors.

[...] Much has been made of the viral outbreak of Michael Wesch’s “Web 2.0…The Machine is Us/ing Us” (first noticed on Frank Gruber’s Somewhat Frank) Some of the reactions, including my initial one, have suggested that the piece is overly optimistic. However, we should not let the pulsing soundtrack (a song called “There’s Nothing Impossible”), speed, and magically moving text and images distract us to miss his playfulness with these ideas, a montage of reactions to the notion of Web 2.0 more than a manifesto for it. Matt Kirschenbaum has commented on one of these moments, the use of the WayBack Machine.  Below is a further analysis (or annotation) of the first 26 seconds or so of the film: [...]

[...] In a recent video ethnography of the “Web 2.0″ concept, anthropologist Michael Wesch invited the online audience to rethink a wide array of concepts, from copyright and authorship to identity and commerce. My session, if accepted, should follow these ideas along with specific emphasis on academic freedom, open access, and flexible strategies for learning and teaching. [...]

[...] Before the opening talk at the Web 2.0 Expo earlier this week, the conference organizers played Michael Wesch’s video-ode to the participatory Web, “The Machine is Us/ing Us”. Given the insider-y nature of the crowd, I have to assume that most of the attendees had already seen it — it had rocketed to blogospheric celebrity in early February. But I didn’t realize the guy who made the video, a professor of cultural anthropology from Kansas State University, was at the conference. [...]

Thank you! Your video solidifies my understanding that the digital world is massive, harrowing and misunderstood by some and a wonderful tool for nearly everything. The last 30 seconds of your video is most powerful. It confounds my mind, like the renaissance thinkers, what shall we do with all of this?

I’m an artist that knows just enough about the programs I need to do my work. I may not completely understand the message of this video, but I know one thing, this video is absolutely beautiful and for me that’s what it’s all about. Simultaneously riveting and moving and beautiful. Thank you Mr. Wesch.
