Daily Mirror editor says to forget about SEO
user-generated content at all -- although I like your idea that if you
generate content, then by definition you're not a user. In any case,
I think he's saying that the majority of what people are thinking
about as user-generated content is less content and more context
around content created by someone else.
Now, if newspapers could realize what they produce is product, and that blog posts don't "steal" their content, but, rather, add context and then link back to it, then we can all sing kumbaya. But it's probably not that simple.
and by "we" i mean the geeks - the journos & editors were terrified of pointing people off-site b/c they looked at customer-created information as a substitute, not a compliment.
