Along with my First Monday special issue on "Critical Perspectives of Web 2.0" noted below (thanks), you'll want to look at the recent conference on "The Internet as Playground and Factory" organized by Trebor Scholz.

The website includes the impressive list of participants, as well as links to videos, mailing list discussions, etc.
