Les blogs, les wikis, les réseaux sociaux constituant les nouvelles communautés du Web 2.0, la capacité à commenter, à créer des liens, à s'intégrer dans des réseaux virtuels, à modifier le contenu rédigé par d'autres, à publier ses propres articles dans des journaux citoyens, à voter en ligne, sont en train de complètement faire évoluer le mode de relation entre les individus, où tout un chacun est à la fois acteur, auteur et lecteur, et ce mode de relation est bien plus que collaboratif, il est participatif. Nous sommes donc en train de participer tous ensemble, grâce à Internet, à la création d'un flux continu de contenu, qui se structure progressivement au fur et à mesure des besoins des uns et des autres, et nous permet d'entrer dans une nouvelle dimension, celle du Web participatif. 1, record 3, French, - Web%20participatif
