Marx e a Web 2.0

Um texto diferente publicado na CBS sobre a Web 2.0, mas que me parece uma reflexão muito interessante. Destaco dois pontos:

- Compara Marx com a Web 2.0
Just as Marx seduced a generation of European idealists with his fantasy of self-realization in a communist utopia, so the Web 2.0 cult of creative self-realization has seduced everyone in Silicon Valley.

- Destaca as ideias chave da nova era
Buzzwords from the old dot.com era ? like "cool," "eyeballs," or "burn rate" ? have been replaced in Web 2.0 by language that is simultaneously more militant and absurd: Empowering citizen media, radically democratize, smash elitism, content redistribution, authentic community ? This sociological jargon, once the preserve of the hippie counterculture, has now become the lexicon of new media capitalism.
