The Internet has not only given us new ways to produce but has also given us the means of distribution. Now anyone can share.
And that's what Web 2.0 is all about. Any consumer is now potential a producer.
This truly is revolutionary. I don't care what anyone say. I have spoken with top television executive (I sort of am one) and they are all worried. It will be the ones that figure out how to play in this new field and more importantly find sources of revenue in this new field that will survive.

Media folks are calling this stuff User Created Content or UCC, it does send a chill in the industry most are trying to figure out just how to make money off of it, or even leverage it into something that does translate into a TV show.
