So far, I’ve read only one book that I felt was truly outstanding on the implications of Web 2.0, though the buzzword hardly appears in the book at all. The book is Ambient Findability, and was written by information architect Peter Morville and published in 2005.

I just recently came across a Webcast that Morville did this past July for the Library of Congress based on his book. You can link to it here.

The Webcast itself is nice and clear with good sound quality. Here’s a description of it from the Library of Congress’ page:

Peter Morville, widely recognized as a founding father of information architecture, discussed his recent book, “Ambient Findability,” in a program sponsored by the Science, Technology and Business Division. Morville describes Ambient Findability as a safari of how people search for information and how they now find their way through a world of information overload. His previous book, which he co-authored with Louis Rosenfeld, “Information Architecture” was named “Best Internet Book of 1998.” Morville’s work has been featured in many publications including Business Week, The Economist, Fortune, MSNBC and The Wall Street Journal. He blogs at findability.org.
