What we’re experiencing now is no different. Not only do these (consumer-generated) URLs mean that consumers are now “producers”, they are also being used as a new channel for media distribution… the consumer is also becoming a “distributor”… Over the next few years, new ventures will emerge to monetize such new distribution opportunities, and they will more directly compensate people for the role they are playing as filters and distributors of media.

I would go further to say that I think there three separate vectors: Social Networking, User Generated Content (which includes URL distribution, URL redistribution, URL aggregation, URL wrapping etc..) and Social Search. The confluence of these three vectors will create the new 'networks'.</p> Interesting.

I am myself moving towards empowering users on my educational sites. Established online brands with their existing traffic can empower the regular consumers by providing them a channel to reach out and express themselves to many. This is a great way for an occasional blogger or someone who may feel strongly about a particular issue but does not intend to blog regularly. Powerful online brands/URLS will stand not just for their own content but also for the user content on them. The final answer may be there in establishing a well balanced mix of the two.</p> A very interesting article. I am myself moving towards empowering users on my educational sites.

I wrote a piece on "own your content and charge for it" (http://www.webvapors.com/?p=19) and this really brings in the distribution aspect of it. I think every active online user will eventually be a content creator as well as distributor and a system that models for this would really drive the benefits back to the users.</p> Very cool and right on.
