But to add to your arguments I would say that UCG is about emotions. Nothing as powerful as a user creating something and sharing it with the world. It is all around us and although the quality isn't always great, we tend to look beyond that as we can almost feel the intention of the creator. That is waht makes user generated content fascinationg. <br>As an example in an industry under fire. I think the music industry should stop thinking in terms of distributiong music (and sueing illigal downloaders) and start thinking in terms of distribution of emotions (thus embracing users and challenging them to add content to the music made by professionals).vanelsasWed, 21 Nov 2007 01:49:01 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2007/11/20/ugc-businessweek-misses-the-point/#comment-16757yes mathew & krishnan - you guys are rightTech For NovicesWed, 21 Nov 2007 01:32:28 -0000http://www.mathewingram.com/work/2007/11/20/ugc-businessweek-misses-the-point/#comment-16735Does business week think that big publications offer great content?
