In fact, the Web is currently developing Web <30, to be rolled out with Chrome 25, Firefox 20, Opera 15, and IE 10 later this winter. If you are interested in cutting-edge research and convolving observation with participation, you can take part in the design of Web <30 yourself. It is being developed through a massively multistakeholder open online crowd-refined platform generation (MMOOCRPG) design.[1] Building on the exponential success of past efforts,[2] the development mailing list includes a periodic distributed auto-immolating critique of its own work, where the future web is continuously redefined as its own dual.[30] Sam.

i agree with mirko - it's well worth having a close look back at posts like oreilly's 'what is web 2.0'.
whatever we think about the wider agenda, there are some prescient points e.g. notes about "lightweight programming models" that hint at the later development of agile methods, and predictions like "we expect the rise of proprietary databases to result in a Free Data movement within the next decade".
not to mention a bit of a howler :) "Social networking systems like Friendster... lack the same scalability as the web."

yes, the already mentioned authors are a great choice and key for research on web platforms. Here's the link to the already mentioned First Monday Issue: http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/2137/...
Recently Trebor Scholz published the volume Digital Labour. The Internet as Playground and Factory http://www.routledge.com/books/details/9780415896955/
In my book Bastard Culture! How User Participation Transforms Cultural Production, I analyse how Web 2.0 actually represents an implementation of user practises into easy to use interfaces and new business models. I have also included a chapter on the ideological rhetoric of Web 2.0 and social media. The book is available for free download here: http://mtschaefer.net/entry/bastard-culture-how-user-participation-transform...
Howard Rheingold's recent book Net Smart is in a way an answer to the critique formulated by Scholz and myself and it is a great analysis of media literacy and meaningful use in digital age: http://www.amazon.com/Net-Smart-How-Thrive-Online/dp/0262017458
cheers mirko
PS: and again, I think re-reading Tim O'Reillys What is Web 2.0 is productive as well; it is brief but very much to the point and emphasises the role of back-end design, something that has been structurally neglected by the overly enthusiastic promoters of the so-called social media. http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html

I would definitely read Christian Fuchs on this subject and there is a good issue of first Monday which focuses on Web 2.0 from some years ago,
For a more abstracted approach to understanding the history of versions, you can read some of my stuff http://netcrit.net but probably those articles are just as useful for whom they cite, including some primary sources in the piece from 2009.
Cheers Matt

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
