Hey everyone. I discovered this great articule and wanted to share it with everyone

A small preview is below but the full articule can be read here.

You remember in the good old days when if you wanted to put content on your site you had to write it yourself?

Then kapow, User Generated Content (UGC) came on the scene which opened up huge potential to just create a site which attracted visitors who would submit and create content themselves. Enter Web 2.0.

Now, I?m largely talking to the converted here - after all who isn?t familiar with facebook, myspace, digg, sphinn etc. All these sites basically have no content and are solely built by the community. But what?s next? Well having other people write my content is cool and all but I want to go one step further and let people do my job for me too. Let me explain.
