Abstract
Contemporary knowledge management research assumes that people are reluctant to share their personal knowledge for the benefit of others. Yet in certain Web 2.0 communities, there is an abundance of knowledge sharing, not a scarcity. This paper explores a new approach to studying peer-based knowledge reproduction that examines the detailed socio-technical practices of knowledge sharing in the Web 2.0 world.
