Dear Burcu, For a more critical perspective on the cultural industries behind the social networking sites, have a look at the March 2008 special issue of the online journal First Monday. See http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/issue/view/263/showToc Also the article by Jose van Dijck & Nieborg elaborates on this topic: „Wikinomics and its discontents: a critical analysis of Web 2.0 business manifestos„. http://www.gamespace.nl/content/Wikinomics_and_its_discontents_2009.pdf Hope this is helpful, Koen.
