Mute Vol 2, No. 4 − Web 2.0 Man's Best Friendster

Web 2.0’s democratisation of media produces a wealth of new perspectives. Those formerly excluded from the public sphere have the chance to make their voices heard. But this wave of participation is as important for business as it is for the newly included. Mute's Web 2.0 special uncovers the work in social networking and the centralisation of the means of sharing.

2007-01, ISSN 1356-7748-204 & ISBN 978190649614
