Actually the CBC was involved with Web 2.0 before web two point zero became “Web 2.0″ rage. Ahead of their time, the CBC show ZeD combined a very interactive website encouraging user-generated content with a regular night time television show.
Now ZeD is leaving us. Goodbye. Farewell. You’ve served the Canadian alternative media well. You provided a method for independent as well as up and coming artists to perform in a very different manner. What was alternative has become mainstream. Welcome to exposure.
Exposure is the result of the CBC working with Yahoo Canada to develop a uniquely Canadian “Web 2.0 community”. For that, I guess I can give kudos to the CBC. At the same time, I can’t help but feel that everyone is simply jumping on this so-called web 2.0 bandwagon. Exposure essentially is Canadian version of YouTube but with connections to the television network, oh and Yahoo. Keep an eye on it — it starts July 29th at 11pm.
