History 2.0 refers to the accumulation of practices of media

and communication consumption that includes our

abandoned MySpace pages and forgotten logins to old

email accounts, as much to the performances we employ to

manage these technologies and our social connectivity via

them in our daily lives.

We makehistory in 2009.
