Dear Maria, I recently co-authored a paper in New Media & Society titled *"Does Web 3.0 come after Web 2.0? Deconstructing theoretical assumptions through practice" *. In the first part of the paper, in particular, we provide a review of current literature on Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 (including most of the scholars cited in this discussion) which might prove useful to you. Abstract Current internet research has been influenced by application developers and computer engineers who see the development of the Web as being divided into three different stages: Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. This article will argue that this understanding – although important when analysing the political economy of the Web – can have serious limitations when applied to everyday contexts and the lived experience of technologies. Drawing from the context of the Italian student movement, we show that the division between Web 1.0, Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 is often deconstructed by activists’ media practices. Therefore, we highlight the importance of developing an approach that – by focusing on practice – draws attention to the interplay between Web platforms rather than their transition. This approach, we believe, is essential to the understanding of the complex relationship between Web developments, human negotiations and everyday social contexts. http://goo.gl/gh6F2 All the best, suerte!

There is a recent article in New Media & Society by Matt Allen that could be of interest:
What was Web 2.0? Versions as the dominant mode of internet history
Abstract
This paper explores Web 2.0 as the marker of a discourse about the nature and purpose of the internet in the recent past. It focuses on how Web 2.0 introduced to our thinking about the internet a discourse of versions. Such a discourse enables the telling of a ‘history’ of the internet which involves a complex interweaving of past, present and future, as represented by the additional versions which the introduction of Web 2.0 enabled. The paper concludes that the discourse of versions embodied in Web 2.0 obscures as much as it reveals, and suggests a new project based on investigations of the everyday memories of the internet by which individual users create their own histories of online technology.

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
