Back in April, I discussed a provocative video from Michael Wesch explaining web 2.0 that seemed to get coverage everywhere across the web and even more so after the Web 2.0 conference. Wesch has come out with another one demonstrating the importance of data, how we can utilize it and really simply starts us thinking about the number of ways the web facilitates a true digital evolution (notice I did not use “revolution”, I’m beginning to believe that word does not exist with regard to the rate of change we are witnessing each year on the web). Thanks Michael for another great piece, Information R/evolution!

If you are really interested in the topics of data, ontology, categorization and classification, I highly recommend reading some of Clay Shirky’s work. I am not endorsing it, I’m not not endorsing it. I am simply saying it is good stuff.
