August 2005: Wired Magazine - We Are the Web
March 2006: Newsweek - Putting the ‘We’ in Web
The first one I’ve linked to before, but it’s worth reading again. I’m slightly amused by the fact that the Newsweek article can’t seem to decide whether the future of the web belongs to “You” or “Us” (Only *who* can prevent forest fires? =) But I suppose these types of semantic snafus are to be expected as the mass media turns a camera on it’s own disintegration. (Also amusing is the picture of the guy next to the “How geeky are you?” quiz. Did he just see goatse?)
