Tom Fudge, host of the KPBS San Diego show “These Days“, had CNET Editor-at-large Brian Cooley and TechCrunch’s Michael Arrington on his live show on Monday, May 8, 2006. The topic? Web 2.0 and what it means to the average Internet user. With KPBS’ permission we are adding a recording of the show here at TalkCrunch.

Hi,
I read your comments on web2.0. I was wondering if you have visited Pageflakes (http://www.pageflakes.com) already? We are offering a similar service allowing you to read news feeds and setting up multiple pages that can be customized with local weather, address book, todo lists, event finders, TV guides and much more. Looking forward to hearing from you. Maybe you have some thoughts on what we can improve.
Thanks and best regards
Tegan

Michael,
This is off topic, but I didn’t know where else to post it.
I have noticed the frequency of your posts has gone down. Is this because there are fewer startups launching? Or have you raised the bar?
Good job on PBS. It was embarrassing how Tom Fudge and Brian Cooley talked down to the listeners, as if anyone really thinks Web 2.0 is a “new” web existing somewhere separately in cyberspace.
Thanks.
[...] TalkCrunch has a recent episode redistributing a discussion about Web 2.0 on the KPBS show "These Days" between Tom Fudge, Brian Cooley (editor-at-lart at CNet) and Michael Arrington. It was hard for Brian to hide disdain for blogging and the new social community; immeidately he stated there is good content, but there is a huge amount of garbage. Michael’s response, I’m sure he gets this all the time, was perfect; the community will push the garbage to the edge and the good stuff will float to the top by its own virtue. Brian’s response “it’s like a big septic tank out there, stuff eventually begins to flow through”. But what do you expect from an editor of a traditional media organization? [...]
Pretty basic info for those that are up on the subject but should be very useful for those that do not know much about this thing called Web 2.0.
Great job Mike on educating the masses.
Michael, I thought you did a great job. It was a bummer that the callers just heard “MySpace” out of context and just called in to talk about MySpace.
@Ari - I didn’t get the feeling that Tom or Brian were talking down to listeners. For web junkies like us, yes Web2.0 is old news… But, to agree with Frank, I think the average listeners of the program probably aren’t people like us who eat, sleep, and breathe the internet and hang out at sites like these to post comments!
Thanks
I’d love to subscribe to this podcast, but it’s too difficult. I have Juice but can’t seem to load your URL into it. Help!
I wonder why neither Mike nor George mentioned Technorati when they were discussing “peer revue” and trying to find good content in among the whole mass of content. Technorati is “up to the minute” web content whereas Google can take weeks to months to notice something and applying PageRank can take even longer than that. Technorati also lets you sort results by relative authority and has its own ranking system.
