6 of top 20 websites driven by user generated content
December 9, 2006
Should not be lost on anyone that six of the top websites as measured by unique visitors are driven by user generated content. They are not driven by content from the company publishing the website. Adding Amazon, which I think took off because of user reviews, would make for seven.
The six:
- MySpace
- Ebay
- Wikipedia
- About.com
- YouTube
- Geocities
The net is about empowering people. People love to participate, as opposed to be talked to. As Doc Searls says, markets are a conversation.
