Hi Maria: for many purposes I believe it is much more useful to conceptualize the development of the Web in a more continuous way (with earthshaking events along the way, of course), and I consider any serious attempts to empirically support the Web 1-2-3 conceptualization as failed. If you search the air-l archives you'll find a discussion Alex Havelais and others had a while back around this topic. Here is an additional piece of mine: Reips, U.-D., & Matzat, U. (2007). Web 2.0, Internet 2.1? International Journal of Internet Science, 2, 1-2. http://www.ijis.net/ijis2_1/ijis2_1_editorial_pre.html One quote from it: ""2.0" likely is an overblown marketing attempt. Surely, "Web 1.7" wouldn't catch on as much." All the best for your research! Kind regards Ulf At 2:43 Uhr +0100 14.10.2012, MM Veloso wrote:
Hi everyone,
I`m doing a research about the influence of web 2.0 in participation (or e-participation). At this moment I`m interested in the web 2.0 definition and web 3.0 definition. Can anyone recommend some must-read articles about web 2.0/web 3.0? Thank you
