An Internet Product for the Art Market
http://www.businessinsider.com/artsy-funding-2010-11
As far as I understand it, this is a product for the art market. Looks like it could be cool. But I don't think it approaches the realm of making art of and for the Internet.

Musings on the Fourth Quadrant - Open Collaboration
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/31/business/31every.html?_r=1&hpw
Did the majority of the most important innovations originate in open and collaborative systems? This is a very interesting article about progress that dodges left or right political alignment. It also brings to light the importance of informal, distributed, efforts that the internet promotes and embodies.
Images Skipping Websites

As we consider the fate of images in a post-website internet, take note of the future of image sharing.

It's a Masterpiece, Whatever that Means... (LA TIMES)
Cool article discussing the loaded term "masterpiece." It starts by detailing the inaugural exhibition at the new Centre Pompidou-Metz, but the cool part is the second half of the article where SoCal art world folks address the idea of the term "masterpiece."
Not really Art 2.0 stuff... though apparently the show itself "grapples with notions of uniqueness in an age of endless reproductions" which is very cool.
A quote from the article:
"The concept of the masterpiece travels uncomfortably to more contemporary and experimental arenas, and it is certainly a last resort to describe and legitimize today's meaningful art production."
