I've also asked a few follow ups about change over time and also whether increase in ugc is having an impact on the creators/consumers ratio.<BR/><BR/>eaonP: I hear you! Forever seeing bloggers getting excited cos they are on the TV news, for example. hmmm. We all crave a little 'fame' I guess (see Clay Shirky's contribution to the post we had about that on here not so long ago...) <BR/><BR/>The quality/relevance thing I alluded to in our twitter discussion is key to understanding the rise of ugc, I think. ugc doesn't have to be great. It just has to be good enough for its intended community of purpose. So my mates in the pub discussing crisp manufacture in Pakistan can be of very low quality because it is of such high relevance to the three people involved. It only matters to us.<BR/>Social networks are made up of thousands of groups exactly like this.<BR/>Having a platform that offers effective tools for thousands of these small groups is something to shout about. But you can't claim you've created an audience, imho. They are all looking at each other, not at you.<BR/><BR/>Am I drifting in the direction you were aiming at?
