This document discusses the rise of user participation and social media on the internet. It contrasts Web 1.0, which featured static homepages and conference-centered communication between strangers, with Web 2.0, which features user-generated content, high levels of sharing and participation, and ego-centered connections between users. The document also notes that 71% of Swedes now use the internet daily, while 16% never use it, and questions how social networks are affected both online and offline.
