I am pleased to announce the (open) publication of a special issue of First Monday on “Critical Perspectives on Web 2.0.”

This special issue was born from a panel I organized at AoIR, and features amazing contributions from Trebor Scholz, Matthew Allen, Kylie Jarrett, Søren Mørk Petersen, myself, Anders Albrechtslund, and David Silver.

My thanks to everyone who helped make this special issue a reality.

    getting academics to do anything collectively is like herding cats – it ain’t easy. thanks, michael, for putting this together – first as a conference panel and then as a special issue of first monday. i’m biased but i think it’s a really interesting and timely special issue.
