Ecosystem supported content.

Filed under: Web2.0 — Prakash Muralidharan @ 3:51 pm

Brianna echoes a dislike for the term "User generated content" for Wiki type content and suggests "Community Curated Work" as a possible alternative. Mike seems to think "curated" is inappropriate and suggests "developed" and "written" as alternatives. I would settle for "Ecosystem" instead of "Community" for the following reason "

Ecosystem: It's not always people who are part of the "known community" that contribute. Someone could refer to content from a totally unrelated article published by an individual who has no idea of Wikis and leverage that in a Wiki. So it is the broader "ecosystem" that contributes and not just the Wiki community.

So that leaves us with "Ecosystem supported content" !
