Web-based collaborative applications commonly known as "Web 2.0" (O'Reilly 2005) have been changing the way individuals interact with each other. These applications are used for sharing content in various formats ranging from video (e.g. YouTube) to text (e.g. Wikipedia), and for a variety of purposes in social (e.g. social networking), business (e.g. viral marketing), and political (e.g. political campaigning) contexts. Given the variety in the content, user profiles, and motivations in this domain, user interaction techniques are surprisingly limited, and not more sophisticated than the first generation of Web applications. It is presumable that with better identification of users, their motivations, and interaction needs, user experience with Web 2.0 will be substantially improved. In addition, many users interact with Web 2.0 applications using mobile devices such as smart phones thus enabling near real-time information sharing. Yet there is little research to date focusing on the "any time any place" nature of HCI in the era of Web 2.0.

This special issue calls for research from diverse fields that explores the HCI phenomenon in the dynamic and ubiquitous Web 2.0 environment. Conceptual and theory building papers, design science studies, and empirical research that investigates the success of the interaction of people with Web 2.0 applications are all welcome. Prospective contributors are expected to bring in a variety of perspectives from social to technical.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

. Identification and classification of Web 2.0 user profiles and motivations

. Analysis of Web 2.0 use patterns

. Impact of Web 2.0 on user activities

. Personal-life impacts

. Social and political impacts

. Web 2.0 in the organizational context

. Evaluation of Web 2.0 interaction techniques

. Design, implementation, and evaluation of innovative Web 2.0 user interfaces

. Methods for indexing, searching, and mining Web 2.0 data

. Impacts of mobility and distributed computing
