Hello,
The Center for the Digital Future has recently come out with an interesting paper: "10 Major Trends Emerging in the Internet’s First Decade of Public Use". You can download the paper for free here: http://www.digitalcenter.org/pages/current_report.asp?intGlobalId=19
On a personal note, I am currently a graduate student at Indiana University and I have just started working on my thesis project which deals with trust and the Internet. I was wondering if anyone here could recommend some seminal papers on trust, they can be from any perspective (ie social science, computer science, ect).
I worked for BTexact research last summer and prepared a literature review on reputation systems that review many of the computer science papers and provides a survey of the evolutionary biology work on trust that is relevant to answering the question of how to build cooperation online. BTexact was kind enough to allow me to make it publicly available. You may find it of use although it is really focused on reputation systems for p2p computing. http://wirelessgrids.net/docs/Howison_Reputation_Lit_Review.pdf -- James Howison PhD Student School of Information Studies Syracuse University +1 315 395 4056 VCard: http://freelancepropaganda.com/jameshowison.vcf
