People Power & The Big C in The UGC
While some people are still debating the wisdom of crowd Vs professionalism and proclaiming that UGC is dead. Here is the best example of mass thinking and collaboration. This article on People Power cites numerous examples of how net users are coming together to change almost every aspect of our lives. People see UGC in terms of very limited scope, some funny videos and list of how to types link bait articles. The scope of UGC is not limited to posting content, it’s about helping each other out, sharing knowledge and doing something constructive.
UGC is not a new thing, the Internet itself is example of UGC. Internet is the biggest and the best example of collaborative technology. There is no other technology on this planet where so many people have come together, shared their knowledge and added it to the platform. Internet is still improvising and evolving, because UGC is not dead. When I say the Internet – it’s not just the protocols and the RFC submitted by tech gods, I also mean the tiny little freeware, thousands of open codes on sourceforge, millions of forums, yet another CSS menu and yet another how to stuff on blogosphere. Every netizien is contributing to this platform in his/her own capacity and that’s a wonderful things.
So, when you think of UGC, think of the big C as Collaboration.
