Within 15 years the web has grown from a group work tool for scientists at CERN into a global information space with more than a billion users. Currently, it is both returning to its roots as a read/write tool and also entering a new, more social and participatory stage. These trends have led to a feeling that the web is entering a ‘second phase’ – a new, ‘improved’ Web version 2.0. But how justified is this perception?

Strategic development of business models: Implications of the web 2.0 for creating value on the internet

Social media generated from many individuals is playing a greater role in our daily lives and provides a unique opportunity to gain valuable insight on information flow and social networking within a society. Through data collection and analysis of its content, it supports a greater mapping and understanding of the evolving human landscape. The information disseminated through such media represents a deviation from volunteered geography, in the sense that it is not geographic information per se. Nevertheless, the message often has geographic footprints, for example, in the form of locations from where the tweets originate, or references in their content to geographic entities. We argue that such data conveys ambient geospatial information, capturing for example, people’s references to locations that represent momentary social hotspots. In this paper we address a framework to harvest such ambient geospatial information, and resulting hybrid capabilities to analyze it to support situational awareness as it relates to human activities. We argue that this emergence of ambient geospatial analysis represents a second step in the evolution of geospatial data availability, following on the heels of volunteered geographical information.

Web 2.0

Aunque los sistemas móviles comerciales no han resultado funcionalmente tan satisfactorios como prometían, los operadores móviles y los proveedores de software de valor añadido para móviles tienen la esperanza de que el efecto del 3G/3.5G y la cantidad de móviles no-tontos que se están vendiendo actualmente den un cambio drástico a la industria de las aplicaciones móviles, consiguiendo expandir el uso de dichas aplicaciones y servicios comercialmente. Ejemplos de aplicaciones comerciales pueden ser: servicios de información, anuncios, servicios basados en contenido, servicios basados en localización o aplicaciones de pago sobre móvil.

Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) has typically been bound within organizations. Groupware applications are designed with organizational structures in mind, in a top-down approach that predicts communication and collaboration interactions between people. With Internet adoption in society, CSCW overflows organizational borders towards Internet Supported Collaborative Work (ISCW), where the organization of work becomes decentralized, centered on individual interests and pretty dynamic. This paper proposes a Web Collaboration Architecture for the new web environment. The article reviews common groupware problems and reflects recent organizational changes. It presents Web 2.0 features and technical state-of-the-art. Then, it describes the architecture proposed, to finish with conclusions and future research lines.

A Web Collaboration Architecture

Esta exposicion pretende ser una introduccion al estudio de un amplio, complejo y dinamico conjunto de nociones, tecnicas y practicas sociales, que gira en torno a la blogosfera, ?un vigoroso subespacio de comunicacion en Internet?, tal como lo denomina Saez Vacas en esta misma revista El objetivo no es tanto ser exhaustivo en el tratamiento, como dar a conocer al lector los distintos conceptos y fenomenos involucrados en la genesis de este peculiar universo, cuyo origen podemos situar en un metaforico Blog Bang Hablaremos de los blogs (weblogs o bitacoras), su origen, caracterizacion, clasificacion y cuantificacion, de la tecnologia que los rodea y de conceptos relacionados, tales como los wikis, el socialware, la blogocultura y la web semantica

El articulo recorre el estado de los sitios de redes sociales como exponente mas destacado del fenomeno "dos-punto-cero". Tras repasar cifras y caracteristicas basicas de los servicios que han marcado la evolucion del segmento dedicado a la gestion on line de redes sociales, tanto de proposito general, se apuntan algunos datos del perfil de sus usuarios, para terminar ofreciendo algunas ideas y seguir reflexionando sobre el tema, dentro de un escenario en constante evolucion, como es el de la web de nueva generacion (WEBNG).
