A rather lengthy OECD report on Web 2.0, Wikis and Social Networking has been published. It covers a fair bit of ground, and provides a good overview in language that can easily be understood by people unfamiliar with these concepts or technology. A number of tables and charts provide useful statistics, especially on the prevalence of user generated content across the web. Covering business models, social, economic and policy implications involving the use of practically every technology covered under the broad Web 2.0 umbrella, this is a useful reference that takes the trouble to define the terminology used in a for-granted manner by most of us involved in the field.
