I've been pitching Web 2.0 the last few months to those who are willing to listen. It's hard to pitch a concept that's actually an aggregation of different technologies and methodologies so I'm going to explain it through the Miaarose story.
Who's Miaarose? Here's her site but I'm going to show you how collaboration works through a series of Youtube videos.
Miaasose started posting her Youtube videos doing cover songs like Crazy Girls, Kiss Me, I'm Like a Bird, L.O.V.E., and Heaven. It was just a matter of time before she posted a Youtube video of her OWN SONG called Husband to Be. Here it is:
But it doesn't end there, one Youtube subscriber gets the idea to put a drum track to her video and here's the result:
That's pretty awesome! But it doesn't stop there, someone else decides that there's some gaps in the collaboration so they add what they think are missing and here's what happens:
Whoah! These are musicians that have never met face-to-face before and now they have a full-blown video of their collaboration courtesy of Youtube! Now that's Web 2.0 for you!
BONUS:
Here's another of Miaarose's original songs called Never on my own:
The same guy, Tom Engelhardt who put the instruments on Husband to Be then adds extra instruments to this wonderful song and even adds voicing! Nice! Enjoy!
I've been having alot of fun on youtube.com lately. There is this wonderful singer named Mia Rose who posts videos of her singing and sometimes playing the guitar. Well, i took the liberty of adding some more instruments to a couple of her orginal songs. The response to that has been amazing! So many people, including mia herself, love the finished product.
I am also going to begin posting some of my original music on youtube soon, so stay tuned."
loved watching the videos of miaarose, but the line speed was so slow the video kept stopping every few seconds! arggghh! she's such a gorgeous girl too. what's her nationality anyways?
would've loved to watch the uninterrupted versions as it was hard to appreciate the overall effect the drum playing and additional voice/instruments of tom had on her performance. anyways, i could only imagine it and my general impression was it was a wonderful colloboration :-D

tinni! :) you can download the video by going to the Keepvid site. Just put the Youtube URL of the video and then choose Youtube and click download. You need to download the FLV player to play it.
