A good albeit long talk on the web 2.0.
I'll comment more on Digital Ethnography later.

Yeah it's a good lecture, reminds me a bit of the TED talks.
As for the subject matter, I think it's interesting that Youtube is now generating more video content on a yearly basis then the combined output of the major US networks since 1948.
This is changing our social structure, the fact that live-action content is now flowing freely back and forth. Wonder how the next generation (the ones that are born after 2000) are going to think of us old-timers, since they'll never have known a World without the Internet, mobile phones, youtube, interactive video content and so forth.

An additional point. Robert Putnam has always been full of shit, sort of like Francis Fukuyama and his "end of history" claim in 1989.
