We have seen plenty of mashups where a website is able to push together a mapping tool, some public data, and user-created content like comments. Tools for individuals are great, but what we’ve seen in 2008 is that the tools that individuals like the most and use the most are the ones that create the most dynamic communities.

User generated content is also at the core of citizen journalism, the notion that amateur users can perform journalist-like functions (accidentally or otherwise) by reporting and commenting on news. Wikis are a perfect example of co-creation. Researcher have found support for the 1:9:90 rule in many different contexts. What About You?
