What is Web 2.0? The Trend Spotter -- O'Reilly [clip]

Thought the combination of these two was very interesting. Some key points I liked:

* The importance of data and databases and the question of ownership;
* The utility of lightweight programming models (RSS and AJAX v. SOAP);
* Multi-device software (e.g. iTunes and also RFID to SPINE)
