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:

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:

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:

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.
