For anyone who was in LA listening to me gab at 9 o'clock in the morning, here's my presentation, and a little glossary I put together:
[If you weren't in LA, you might find it interesting, but my disclaimer is that this isn't in any way an end-all be-all on "the Web 2.0." It's a primer for media folk who wanted to be brought up to speed, and avoids geek-speak as much as possible. :-) ]
