The part of the Web 2.0 reading that most caught my attention was when the authors said that the outcome of web 2.0 and micropublishing could drastically lower the bar for “participation and publishing” (http://digitalstorytelling.umwblogs.org/files/2010/01/web2.0_storytelling.pdf pg. 42) because there is some really unintelligent content out on the internet that one would possibly never see published outside the internet (but maybe on the walls of bathroom stalls?). However, I was reminded of an interview on the Colbert Report with an author who thought all this writing on the internet was a positive thing because of the fact young people are writing something. There’s just the argument about quantity vs. quality.
