User-Generated Content

User generated content (AKA Consumer Generated Media/User created Content) refers to various kinds of media content, publicly available, that are produced by end-users

All digital media technologies are included, such as question-answer databases, 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 reduce the barriers to collaboration, skill-building and discovery. -Wikipedia, “UGC”

Social Bookmarking samples/examples

Method for Internet users to store, organize, search & manage bookmarks of web pages on the Internet (as opposed to one machine)

Users save links to web pages that they want to remember/share. These bookmarks are usually public, and can be saved privately, shared only with specified people or groups, and/or shared only inside certain networks.

These bookmarks chronologically, by category or tags, or via a search engine.
