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 On 14.10.2012 07:00, Matthew Allen wrote:
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
