i202 Fall 2009 School of Information, UC Berkeley

This 4 minute video, created by Dr. Michael Wesch for a class on digital ethnography, became really popular on youtube a couple of years back. It talks about - (really effectively!) - why and what is XML, XML vs HTML, social tagging, and several other pertinant 202 topics in the context of web 2.0.

If you have any doubts about XML vs HTML, do watch this!

For those of us new to XML and want some instant(ish) gratification after learning the basic syntax.  The iGoogle Themes API is here.  Dynamic themes can change throughout the day to present a 'story line'.  You still have to make the images e.g. w/Illustrator though.  Enjoy!
