I think YouTube is the most stunning example of democratization of media – an open invitation to amateur and professional artists and journalists to participate and influence the information culture!  Wow.  No agent, required!  And the world becomes your talent scout!!  Personally I enjoyed visiting the Library web 2.0 clips.  It was like attending a free conference.  Language I took away with me? — “information culture”.  New fact?  — the age of the expert is over.  Best clip? — “If I live to be 100″
