Nowadays there are various kinds of media whose contents are produced by users for the public. Take me as an example, I often go to Youtube to find the latest news, I cannot study without the resources on moodle and wiki, I log on the blog regularly to see what happens for my friends and write down my reflections these days, just as what I do now!
Websites tend to collect information from the public to guide their future development, and users are also likely to comment on the content to interact with other users on the internet. Personally I have a habit to vote my emotions after reading something on the web. I choose my emotion from a serious of choices like sympathy, happy, sad, boring, etc. In this way, I can see what is the general response from the public and sometimes find someone sharing the same emotions. This kind of settings offers me a good user experience.
However, I meet with something annoying these days. This term we work on moodle for one course. Moodle itself is powerful and usable software, but the problem is that moodle is connected with our emails. Any posts on any forum in moodle will be appeared in our emails, so our inbox is flooded with various kinds of chatting, suggestions while many of them are none of our business. This situation will make students reluctant to the slew of emails pouring from the moodle to everyone’s inboxes.
Blogs are also very famous in China. On the one hand, blogs are free to register and use; on the other hand, people need an exit to release their emotional tension or comment on something in public with less restrictions. Blogs like personalized website, on which everyone write something that s/he is interested in. Thus various users offer multifarious information that covers different kinds of social life. We can even say that blogs create a large database, and an open source database. However, as one kind of user-generated content, how to manage blogs properly is becoming more and more urgent. Some people use blog as a method to make them famous. For this reason they even post something sexual or pornographic resources regardless of the ethical modes.
Despite of these drawbacks, we cannot deny that user- generated content has become a trend and plays more important role in human life.
