Fora.tv talks to internet guru Tim O’Reilly about the disruptive and redefining power of Twitter among other Web 2.0 hot topics.  The interview is lengthy but very informative and thoughtful.

O’Reilly covers a buffet of topics including:

• Origin of Web 2.0;
• What is Web 2.0 in retrospect?
• The Next Internet Wave;
• Semantic Web vs Recognition;
• What Publishers Can Learn from Software Developers;
• Writing a Guide to the Internet Today and Almost Buying Yahoo;
• Is he on the mark in defining the future of business models on the internet the way he defined Web 2.0?

This clip is a geek’s dream.  Tim O’Reilly (who coined the term “Web 2.0″ – though, of course, several people dispute this) is one of the grandaddy’s of the internet.  It’s interesting to hear his take on how things are changing and the direction he thinks we’re headed.
