Diigo Group on Web 2.0 Tools moderated by Helen Baxter, Producer of the g33k show is a constant weekly source of insight into how and at what pace the web is really developing.

A wonderful story on the story of storytelling in the New York Times from the Center for the Future of Storytelling, an MIT Media Lab initiative, that suggest the way we tell stories is now changing.
