Social Media Club Birmingham May 2009 meeting:

Andrew Keen of Berkeley, CA has been called "the Antichrist of Silicon
Valley" for his controversial views of Web 2.0 and its effects on
society. His book The Cult of the Amateur is hated but well-read for
its insight into how the democratization of data is changing
everything about how we interact with one another and live our lives
at their core. The demise of well-compensated experts, the influx of
junk on the Web, and the accessibility of opinions over facts are just
a few reasons that emerging Web 2.0 social technologies are destroying
life as we know it.
