A late addition...Trebor Schulz is doing interesting work around web 2.0 and the legions of users that build these sites: http://www.collectivate.net/ His work is a nice foil to Wikinomics -- he asks questions about who pays for what in this seemingly "free" world.

Don't forget the granddaddy of all of these books: The Media Is The Massage from McLuhan (1967). I used the Long Tail and Wikinomics as sources for my dissertation too, and they are extremely valuable books because they impact both social science and policy as well as web design because of the choices one can offer online. Vise & Malseed (2005) have a great on Google too. I even used both of Bill Gates' books which were the template for much of what is happening now (1995, 1998). Amazonia is also a great book too (Marcus, 2004 or 2005?).

I taught an Information, Technology and Organizations a few years back for undergrads. The syllabi are online. This is the most recent, but definitely out of date at this time.

Hi all, Hope you all are well! I am looking for some reading recommendations for a class I'm teaching this spring. It is an MA-level course in a technology-focused department with two tracks - one focused on web design and the other on social science and policy. The course is called "Organizations and Technology" and the description is quite broad. I am looking to revamp the class, most likely with a focus on industry developments and the ways in which various orgs are incorporating/capitalizing on "web 2.0" features.
Any suggestions re: readings? Some I am already evaluating: Nicholas Carr's "Does IT Matter," "Information Rules" (Shapiro and Varian), "Long Tail" (Anderson), and "Wikinomics" (Tapscott and Williams). Article suggestions are welcome as well.
Thanks much in advance!
Nicole
