In summary, the individual is seeking help in choosing a thesis topic related to Web 2.0 applications and the evolution of the internet. They are looking for a topic with sufficient prior research but not overdone, and are interested in practical rather than theoretical ideas. They mention that the term "Web 2.0" is ill-defined and are open to exploring various angles such as computing science, sociological effects, psychology, neural networks, and mathematical modeling. They express frustration with their current Google searches.

I need help in choosing a thesis. As of now, I'm still exploring. I want a topic that has sufficient prior work for me to write a good paper and research on but not too much as if it was overdone.

My interest is around Web 2.0 applications and its evolution of the internet. I know the area is quite broad and general but it'll be helpful if anyone can start throwing in ideas and topics so I can check them out. I'm looking for practical ideas and topics and not so much theoretical.

Again, I'm not looking for a specific topic, just some topics in this subject to explore. I'm not getting much out of google :(

In what context? Computing science? Sociological effects? Psychology? Neural networks? Mathematical modeling?

Not to be overly negative here, but Web 2.0 is a buzz word. It is ill defined and can mean anything you want it to. Explaining "Web 2.0 applications and its evolution of the internet" is much the same as explaining how "Next Generation" products revolutionized the economy.

This has also led to a shift in the way businesses and organizations use the internet for marketing, customer engagement, and communication.

What are the potential drawbacks of Web 2.0 applications?
