Room With A View

The term Web 2.0 gets thrown around a lot. It’s the idea that people can create content and interact with one another. Some people love the term, some people hate the term, some people overuse the term, while others lay claim to the term. Regardless of the hype, The Water Buffalo Movie is what matters.

Robert Thompson read a blog entry by Philip Greenspun where Greenspun wrote about his frustration with a charity that supposedly bought water buffaloes for people. Robert Thompson lives in rural China. He offered to buy Greenspun a water buffalo and give it to a needy family. Greenspun took him up on his offer. The Water Buffalo Movie is Thompson’s account of the story.
