The paper reports a study that investigates continued use of Web 2.0 technologies by applying customer values as theoretical lens. In prior research, both utilitarian and hedonic values of IT are recognized. Web 2.0 technologies provide users these values too. Furthermore, we posit that user perceived value has a positive effect on continued use of Web 2.0 sites. Two factors, system quality and information quality, are hypothesized to affect customer values. A survey study is conducted to test proposed research model. This research furthers the research stream by focusing on young users in China.
