Internet Evolution Welcomes Andrew Keen to IE Radio Today

NEW YORK -

- 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.
