The developments widely known as Web 2.0 are mainly characterised by the overwhelming ability of users to collaboratively create content. The impact this is having on a wide range of social processes, as varied as marketing and personal relationships, politics and tourism is making these development a fascinating focus for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary social science research.
