More Irreverent Fun with Web 2.0 and its Critics

My favorite part of that article about Web 2.0 is where he goes: "Empowered by Web 2.0 technology, we can all become citizen journalists, citizen videographers, citizen musicians. Empowered by this technology, we will be able to write in the morning, direct movies in the afternoon, and make music in the evening. Sounds familiar? It's eerily similar to Marx's seductive promise..." But it was him who described Web 2.0 that way. So of course he can make it sound eerily familiar to anything that'll help prove his point. Idiot.
