Huawei - Expert's Forum--User-generated content: opportunities for wireless o... - 0 views

  • They have been largely caught unawares by the growth of such sites as Flickr, YouTube, OhMyNews and MySpace. Their growth stems from both better broadband availability and the increased scope for tribalism, identity expression and personalisation that user-generated content provides. Paul Saffo of the marvellously titled Institute of the Future notes that this could herald a 'Cambrian explosion' of creativity: a flowering of expressive diversity on the scale of the eponymous proliferation of biological species 530 million years ago. So what does this trend mean for wireless carriers? John Delaney looks at the implications.
  • Mobile operators are well-placed to benefit from the explosion of interest in user-generated content (UGC). It fits well as an extension of the trend to personalize that is already so successful in the mobile environment, and offers a way to monetize the wealth of 'user-generated content' currently residing (unsent) on mobile terminals worldwide.
  • Other trends facilitating the growth in content include: The growth in storage capacity, coupled with ever cheaper prices. The growth of standardized, non-proprietary capacity in mobile phones encourages both sharing across other devices and upgrading.

  • Users pay £0.50 to post a video via MMS to the See Me TV site. The most popular clips appear at the top of the browser menu, and 3 also adds categories so that customers can navigate to different types of clips. Viewer downloads are charged at a minimum of £0.10 each, of which 10% is returned to the originator of the content, with 3 pocketing the remainder. By September 2006, 3 had received more than 100,000 video clips from customers willing to share their recordings, with an average of over 1 million downloads per month. It had paid out a total of £250,000 to creators of the content, and recorded a tidy gross margin of 90%.

This in turn provides a trigger to other viewers to generate similar content User-generated content recorded on the mobile phone is increasingly featured on major news sites, such as BBC Online, and Yahoo!

This was apparent in the aftermath of the London bombings in July 2005, when both websites posted material captured on the mobile phones of the public before their reporters could get to the scene.

      A hatóságok döntése valóban vitatható, de szerintem is érthető, hogy senki nem akarta a Prestige-t a kikötőjébe engedni, hiszen ha a partok közvetlen közelében tört volna ketté a hajó, valószínűleg jóval nagyobb kárt okozott volna.

The Doors - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger. They were considered a controversial band, due mostly to Morrison's cryptic lyrics and unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death on July 3, 1971, the remaining members continued as a threesome until disbanding in 1973.[1] Despite a career that barely totaled eight years, The Doors still enjoy a huge cult following as well as status in the mainstream music industry as being hugely influential and original. According to the RIAA, they have sold over 32 million albums in the US alone.[2]
