From September 2005 to June 2006 a team of thirteen scholars at the The University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Communication explored how new and maturing networking technologies are transforming the way in which we interact with content, media sources, other individuals and groups, and the world that surrounds us.
This site documents the process and the results.

Is Web 2.0 killing the Semantic Web?
At oreillynet, Dan Zambonini asks the seemingly heretical question: Is Web 2.0 killing the Semantic Web? Zambonini suggests that the rush to give power to the people with Web 2.0 impedes important progress toward developing the semantic web, which he argues is much more critical in the long run.

Is it either/or?
Is it either/or? How about both? Or better yet, how about neither? One thing that drives me NUTS about both sides of this argument is the way that the phrase "content separated from presentation" is bandied about. I think this is fundamentally flawed, and will kill the web, semantic, 2.0, 3.0 or otherwise. Presentation and content are inextricably linked and our desire to create "easy" and "flexible" systems have resulted in ugly pablum (for the most part). I would argue that people need to learn how to be literate beyond text and the browser...and part of that is understanding that the medium is the content is the presentation is the message.
