My Web 2.0 Talk
Saturday, April 4, 2009 at 8:10PMHere's my talk from this past Thursday: "How the Web Ate the Economy and Why it's Great for Everyone." This is the first real Life Inc. talk I have given.
They only gave me 15 minutes, and wanted me to encapsulate my last book, Get Back in the Box in addition to whatever I wanted to say about the fall of central banking and new opportunities to create value from the periphery, so it's a little rushed. But it was certainly fun to begin sharing these ideas, and it has led to a sudden influx of Twitter followers...

Loved the talk, love the historical perspective you take, just after pre-ordering 'Life, Inc.', hope it really gets these ideas out there
Speaking of web 2.0, time slots are obsolete. This requires hours of elaboration, something easily distributed by a podcast.
Any word on when your WFMU radio show will be podcast? I'm in class until 7:20 on Mondays.
Will New School University allow you to podcast lectures from your class?
I just ordered Coercion (a used copy, sorry I'm a poor student) and can't wait to check out Life when it comes out.
Great talk, too bad there was not more time to dive into the subject.
I saw you in Toronto at Word of Mouth Conference and subsequently read GBITB, the speech and the book were great!
I am so down w/ this great approach to current events!

Truly awesome. I was inspired by this talk live and I am currently LOVING your last book and looking forward to the next one. The essential focus on play is truly inspiring to me, especially when it is given such a meaningful context. The web's social dimension is truly its most revolutionary aspect. I'd love to explore possible online media collaborations. Your voice is important. I've not heard your distinctions anywhere else. Bravo! (meanwhile, I'll keep reading.) And THANKS!
