==Description:==
 
User-generated content refers to media content produced or primarily influenced by professional or non-professional end-users. As opposed to the traditional way of producing content, where traditional media producers, licensed broadcasters, and production companies create media content. User generated content reflects the expansion of media production through new technologies that are accessible and affordable to the general public. These include digital video, blogging, podcasting, mobile phone photography and wikis. In addition to these technologies, user-generated content may also employ a combination of open source, free software, and flexible licensing or related agreements to further diminish the barriers to collaboration, skill-building and discovery.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User-generated_content]
 
User generated content is not exclusively related to the internet. Traditional media, like television, newspapers and radio also use forms of user generated content. The development of online user generated content enables more and more people to publish their ideas in an easy and quick way. The development of user generated content can directly be linked to the evolution of ‘Web 2.0’. Although the definition is debated, a common element in all discussion around Web 2.0 is the use the web as a platform for online collaboration (see: [http://oreilly.com/web2/archive/what-is-web-20.html]).
 
A recent evolution of user generated content is crowd sourcing. In crowd sourcing, organizations or individuals ask others participate in research, reviews, brainstorming or consulting. In crowd sourcing, the public is actively involved in the organization’s processes. It assumes that the ideas, opinions and work of the community add value to organizations [http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowdsourcing].
