Just came across this article about the user generated content movement on business 2.0:
Let's face it: People are fascinated with themselves. That's why when it comes to content-driven websites -- and what websites aren't in that category? -- there is nothing more viral or compelling than content generated by users. Whether it's travel journals, group calendars, event listings, product reviews, or personal photos, people love to put their stuff up on the Web. Look at the popularity of photo-sharing Website Flickr.com, the consumer-written online encyclopedia Wikipedia, or consumer reviews on Amazon.com and Epinions. Hell, nobody makes customers work harder than eBay (EBAY), whose entire business depends on sellers uploading descriptions, prices, and photos of their auction wares.
It's a good article, very interesting how the Internet is changing.
Also, read about the size of the online ad industry. Amazing how fast things are growing again.
