The Weblog for the AboutUs Wiki — “User-generated content” –> “Community-curated works”
I agree about 'user generated content' (esp. if spelled 'UGC'), but 'community-curated works' isn't any better. (Not all 'UGC' is made by a community. There aren't really that many communities. Curation is a professional activity of a curator or archivist. We should render obsolete those activities, not borrow the term. The communities (wherever the hell they are) will rise up and say, "BEHOLD MY WORKS YE MIGHTY AND DESPAIR!").
