    After years of stagnation in the Internet following the burst of the New Economy, a new phenomenon ignites the fantasies of the Internet community. Web 2.0 seems to redefine the economical foundations of the Internet economy. Services such as MySpace, YouTube and Second Life have demonstrated the power of the alleged new online community services. User-generated content and social networks are the artefacts of the new movement. The mobile service industry has picked up the trend, and developed cutting-edge mobile services based on usergenerated content. In the paper the emerging mobile extensions of existing online Web 2.0 applications and pure mobile Web 2.0 services are analysed and compared and the potentials for a profitable positioning of mobile operators in the value chain are extracted.

    A new type of communities is gaining momentum on the web and is reshaping online communication and collaboration patterns and the way how information is consumed and produced. Examples of such communities are Wikipedia, MySpace, OpenBC, YouTube, Folksonomies, numerous Weblogs and others. In literature different terms can be found to denote the emerging and growing new phenomenon: social software or peer production. In the year 2005, Tim O'Reilly popularized the term Web 2.0 . While the first two terms can be applied also to earlier, already established forms of online communities, the term Web 2.0 is mostly applied to emphasize the differences of emerging communities compared to earlier forms of online communities, encompassing various perspectives - technology, attitude, philosophy. While, recently the mass media have picked up broadly the term Web 2.0 and the related phenomenon of emerging online communities, there has been less attention in the scientific community. First papers are available that try to define the phenomenon and to relate it to existing developments. Other papers categorize Web 2.0 communities and provide a first detailed description of the various kind of communities. There are also first papers that focus on a certain type of Web 2.0 communities as for example: social networking communities, Online Encyclopedias, Folksonomies. The most widely researched phenomenon are Web-blogs .
