[Air-L] Web 2.0

[Alex Leavitt]

Going along with Steve, I'd definitely second the
http://nms.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/07/03/1461444812451567.abstract
 article.

Also, I believe that both Henry Jenkins' and Biella Coleman's new books (to
be published soon!) have vivid critiques of Web 2.0 as a term.
