User-Generated ContentAlso known as “Conversational Media”, UGC is a key
characteristic of Web 2.0, and the audience is prevailing today with accessible media, tools, and applications.
Examples of UGC: Blogs Video & Image sharing Discussion Boards & Wikis Social Networking News Sites E-Commerce Rating and Product Discussion
Trends in User Generated Content
Several business trends have appeared regarding UGC, related to both marketing and sales, and product support and services. We will address each trend separately, but they are often integrated in their execution.
Gartner Hype Cycle Changing Business Models Targeted Advertising Viral Marketing
Trends: Gartner Hype Cycle
Trends: Changing Business Models
Business models should take account the impact of the web in all key business processes. Taking into account collective intelligence, networking, and cloud computing all effect the effectiveness of business models. While Web 2.0 emphasizes the consumer facing web, the business-to-business impact is increasing.
Emphasis of web-centric management of divisional manufacturing, procurement and global micro-business.
Software as a service, cloud computing, and Web platform capabilities reinforce outsourcing and focus on core competency.
Community collaboration and network based intelligence are driving business innovation, such as the viral dissemination of information through committed communities of web users.
Trends: Targeted Advertising
Targeted Advertising functions by conveying advertising appropriate to the subject of the content.
Examples include: Google search and application advertising Amazon recommendations Forum/review content advertisements
(such as gaming advertisements on gaming review websites).
Trends: Viral Marketing
Viral marketing uses social networking and word of mouth advertising to create market demand for a product or service. This is also called “grassroots” marketing, and has been made easier by the growth of social networking sites such as MySpace, Twitter, and Facebook.
Examples: President Obama’s 2008 Election Campaign Movie and Product Facebook Groups MySpace’s Music Referral Service
Controversy: Business Integration
Business integration of user generated content has been difficult and controversial for traditional business. The Gartner group has identified the following key points to successful integration:
Do not dismiss social software as a productivity plague. Understand the risk and benefits of user generated content systems
in your business processes and enterprises. Assess the unique challenges facing UGC in the enterprise, and . . . Prepare a strategy for introduction and integration of these new
systems and technologies.
Controversy: Copyright
Copyright of user generated works has continued to be controversial. Sites including Facebook, TurnItIn.com, YouTube, and Digg have all faced legal threat or action regarding the copyright of content uploaded by users.
User vs. Website TUSD vs. TurnItIn.com (2006) Facebook TOS revision (2/15/2009)
3rd Party Content Owner vs. Website DMCA Violations (YouTube, Veoh, others)
Controversy: Copyright User vs. Website
Federal courts dismissed one of the current lawsuits vs. TurItIn.com saying that despite the archiving of a students complete work in their database it was used in a “transformational system” which prevented the students copyright from being violated.
Facebook’s revised Terms of Service never reached a court, as the backlash from their user base was so extreme that the changes were reverted within a few days to a previous version pending a new more community friendly revision being authored.
Controversy: 3rd Party vs. Site Owners
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has been a source of conflict and frustration since it was signed into law.
