sigh . . . . - rstevens, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I know of a case where the users bashed a companies' service. The company, when asked to advertise on the site, instead offered to pay for the removal of all content about them.
- Virak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Unless they're gods or leaders of powerful countries, I doubt a mere two users could have "massive power".
- Nogger, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3He conveniently does not link to the actual research data, but to get to 25% figure, you have to count even the slightest click as "user generated content".
Jacob Nielson's findings are more plausible:
In most online communities, 90% of users are lurkers who never contribute, 9% of users contribute a little, and 1% of users account for almost all the action.

- jo42, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3> User-generated content (UGC) is being created by approximately one-quarter of online consumers.
That explains all the cr*p out there on the Internets... - Thuktun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The venerable First Post is also User-Generated Content. Not sure I want it.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2User generated content? If digg is any guide, its pimply rich kids playing with their Wiis and Macs, psyco political freaks and fart jokes.
The best UGC on the net are the various Wikis and they work by a system of peer review. Anyone can edit a Wiki but that edit has to stand the test of time to survive. - RandomGuySteve, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Leveraging User-Generated Content.
(without paying them a ***** dime! idiots!) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm leveraging right now. Leverage -- swoosh, bang, LEVERAGE!
- sExl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought this story was a joke what with the 100% transparent Web 2.0 marketing title. Leverage a thesaurus please!
- ninjastuntteam, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Can we please stop using words like "leveraging"? It sounds like an annoying-ass vendor trying to pitch me software I don't need and didn't ask about, yet somehow he knows my name and number.
Weasel words blow. - twodimes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0HubPages is a prime example, and here is a user generated SEO backlink. They share revenue with their users though. Warning: I may make money if you click on this link.

- Dempsey2, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1Without the User-generated content, my SoundPack DB for Messenger Plus (www.mpsounds.net) would have absolutely no content, but users have submitted over 1100 SoundPacks up till now! User-generated content ftw!
