The Birth of "Web Science"

The Web Science Research Initiative was launched on Thursday by MIT and the University of Southampton. It aims to establish a new multidisciplinary field of science to study both the social and technological issues surrounding the development of the World Wide Web and other web-like information structures.

The new publication, Foundations and Trends in Web Science could make interesting reading for those interested in the past and future of the web, as an object of scientific study.

You must be richer than I...

Perhaps you can buy me a copy? It sounds interesting but there are other interesting things I could spend €300 on... ;)

Issue 1 is free

Issue 1 is free. I've emailed one of my lecturers to find out how we get the university to subscribe, so that I can read it for free :) It could be a problem for a lot of people though.

As I've been quoted as saying, "Hurray for academia, let's share our knowledge with mankind."
