The age of information and communication has revolutionized the way companies do business, especially in providing competitive and innovative services. Wireless technologies, peer-to-peer networks, grid computing, and agent technologies enable ubiquitous access to services and information systems with scalability (Chiu et al. 2009). This results in the removal of barriers of market expansion and new business opportunities as well as threats. In this new global and ubiquitous environment, it is of increasing importance to consider legal and social aspects in business services and information systems that will provide some level of certainty (Kafeza et al. 2005). In recent years, we have also witnessed a rapid proliferation of social computing Web sites and content. Social networking sites collect data about members and then store this information as user profiles. The data, or profiles, can then be shared among the members of the site. The goal of connecting people and social interactions is prompting the next wave of technologies supporting rapid development of these interpersonal interactions, which is called Web 2.0 (O’Reilly 2005). Web 2.0 is connecting more and more people, while amplifying their power of working together. Web 2.0 supports information sharing though communities and combines diverse sets of services from multiple sources which results in a novel personalized presentations of data. Web 2.0 was formally proposed in a conference brainstorming session between O’Reilly and MediaLive International in 2004, though the concept had been around for a number of years before that. According to Tim O’Reilly’s definition, Web 2.0 is the network platform spanning all connected devices. Successful Web 2.0 applications will be those that make the most advantages of that platform: delivering software as a continually updating service that benefits from more people using it, consuming and remixing data from multiple sources, while providing their own data and service in a form that allows remixing by others, creating network effects through an “architecture of participation,” and going beyond the static page content of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user experiences. As a result of the emergence of Web 2.0, more nonprofessional programmers and end users are able to create simple applications through scripting languages and build composite documents. Not only have new technologies like Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX), Rich Internet applications (RIA), and Mashup been introduced, but there is also a broad spectrum of vertical domains where legal and social issues influence the design and deployment of business services and information systems with Web 2.0. Examples include Web personalization and protection of user privacy in service provision, intellectual property rights protection when designing and implementing virtual works and multiplayer digital games, copyright protection in collaboInf Syst Front (2011) 13:153–155 DOI 10.1007/s10796-009-9168-x
