\"Participative<\/p>\n

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development<\/a> reports, based on data from the Pew Internet & American Life Project<\/a>, that “over one-third of all US Internet users have posted content to the Internet” and 25% of Internet users under the age of 30 have blogs.<\/p>\n

The 2007 report lists YouTube<\/a> as the fourth most-popular web site worldwide, while a more recent visit to the source of this information, Alexa.com<\/a>, finds it moved up to number two (the ranking is updated daily). Other web sites of user-created content in the top 10 globally are MySpace, Facebook, Hi5, and Wikipedia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The full report, Participative web and user-created content: web 2.0, wikis and social networking<\/strong><\/big><\/em><\/font><\/a>, is available online. It discusses the types of user-created content, active Internet participation in several countries, possible economic and social impacts and implications for policy and business.<\/p>\n
