Web 2.0 has been used so much that people are sick of hearing about it - but what effect does this collaborative, de-centralized, environment have on our understanding of reality?  In particular, how does it impact our practice and perception of the Christian faith?  Such is the fodder for tonights podcast!

Here's the crew for this week:

• Me - this is always my fault, I blog at this site.
  
• Jim - Christdot's qohelet, and lenten blogger.
• Sarah - Christdot's MrsQohelet, now dubbed "the smiling fist"
• Kevin - Our radical anabaptist ethicist currently enjoying spring-break
• Calvin - Hopes to soon be an employed youth pastor and is also Mandy's husband.  This is his first time on the Conversation.
• Jamison - former seminarian and current ecclesiastical journeyman.

We're considering sharing our IM session that tends to run concurrently with our confence call.  Most of it's pretty useless, but sometimes it gives some insight on why the conversation shifts the way that it does.

Followed an example of the malleable reality of web 2.0 that can allows us to make others say just about anything:

Finally, we watched this interesting short about the power of "branding" as a way of asking how we keep people's attention long enough to say anything of value in this "web 2.0 world."

WARNING:  The linked video is cetrainly "Rated R" for language.  The thoughts behind the words are worth hearing, but if you would rather refrain from viewing this video it won't impede your ability to follow the discussion and we understand completely.  While I was amazed at the thoughts, I'm actually a little squeemish putting it on the site directly (and given my personality, that should make you pause).
