Internet Evolution Welcomes Andrew Keen to IE Radio Today
NEW YORK, Sept. 3 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Silicon Valley author and media critic to weigh in on the
future of online content and the relative value of Web 2.0 tools for
individuals and businesses
Andrew Keen, author of Cult of the Amateur: How the Internet Is Killing
Our Culture, is today's guest on Internet Evolution Radio at 1 p.m. ET.
A Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Keen founded Audiocafe.com in 1995 and
built it into a well-known first-generation Internet music company. Since
then he's become a prominent media personality and has appeared on The
Colbert Report, The McNeil-Lehrer NewsHour, The Today Show, Fox News, CNN
International, NPR's Weekend Edition, the BBC's Newsnight, and several
others.
"As one of the earliest and harshest critics of the whole Web 2.0
phenomenon of the wisdom of the masses, we're looking forward to hearing how
Andrew's views have evolved, especially since he's such an ardent Twitterer
now," said Terry Sweeney, editor in chief of Internet Evolution, and host of
the site's radio program.
