A Classification Schema for Mobile-Internet 2.0 Applications

Abstract

One of the defining concepts of the contemporary Information and Communication Technologies’ business environment is the Web 2.0 phenomenon and related notions such as Social Computing, Social Web, Social Software, Social Media and User-Generated Media. However, whenever Web 2.0 is mentioned, it is usually surrounded by vague and ambiguous concepts and definitions, mostly a complex mixture of technical and business aspects. This situation is even more critical in the current context of convergence between wireless and web technologies, resulting in the so-called Mobile-Internet 2.0 phenomenon. This paper proposes to shed a light in such a fuzzy environment by proposing a classification schema for Mobile-Internet 2.0 applications using as main categorizing criteria the type and characteristics of interaction permitted or facilitated by the applications.
