I’ve made a few more updates to the Web 2.0 presentation material, in preparation for a 2-day seminar that I’ll be giving in Rome next week (click here for details). As usual, you can access this as a Google Docs presentation, by clicking here; or you can download the 19.8-megabyte PDF version of the presentation by clicking here.

In addition to fixing a few broken links, here’s what I’ve added/changed/improved:

1. On page 10, I added a snapshot of the Amazon page for the DVD version of An Inconvenient Truth, to provide an illustration of communal product reviews; I also added the snapshot to (new) page 28.
2. On page 12, I’ve created a new page that provides an introduction to, and overview of, the details of “web as platform” material discussed on the following three pages.
3. On (new) page 32, I’ve created a screenshot of a Yahoo Pipes tutorial movie, showing how a simple pipe can be constructed.

It may be a few days before I add any more material; I’ve got to get back to my “regular” job of IT consulting. But I think this version will keep you occupied for a while: it now consists of 120 pages of material, with almost exactly 500 hyperlinks to Web 2.0 resources all over the Internet. Happy reading!
