UGC

User-generated content (UGC), also known as consumer-generated media (CGM) or user-created content (UCC), refers to various kinds of media content, publicly available, that are produced by the audience.

Examples of UGC -

http://www.youtube.com/

youtube is an example of UGC as you can upload videos and then others have the opportunity to comment on and rate the video.

http://uk.yahoo.com/?p=us

Yahoo is also a UGC because people are allowed to comment on the news that is regularly updated.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/

This is a UGC because the users can rate other users purchases.

Excellent, table particularly good with Sam. Need to know that UGC is part of a site not the type of site or the site itself. Eg e-bay is a professionally produced site which contains many elements of UGC.
Needs exploration of British Filmwebsites using many key terms.
