To get a better sense of the situation I pulled StumbleUpon referral figures from 2010-2012 for a group of 47 news and content sites that we work with at Define Media Group , primarily magazine brands. For confidentially reasons I am not able to reveal the specific titles, but they are all well-known brands from major publishers.

So here is a little fact that really scares me – User Generated Content has surpassed that of publisher content which means we marketers (or publishers) are the “white noise” to the User Generated Content “signal” they produce. So let’s dive into that for a moment …. Stumble upon something good?

Meanwhile, the blogosphere continues to expand and pundits like Joe Pulizzi have declared that we are all publishers now. Instead, successful media will become aggregators and editors of content, rather than creators. Online content aggregation is as old as the Internet itself, beginning with AOL.

For some reason there is a lot of confusion about the word Content lately. Back in the late 90s when the internet was just heating up we all heard alot about how “Content is King&#. But these days for B2B Marketers I think we need to take it a step further and say that “Content is Media&#. Can you stick to it?

So “borrowing” content isn’t a Web-only phenomenon, it’s just a lot easier to spot now. Shifting from poaching content to paying for it, it really is no wonder that the AP seems so threatened by Google. A wire service’s whole business model is built around selling the same content to as many news outlets as possible.

As content becomes more and more valuable and as we each try to increase awareness of our blogs, build our following, and increase traffic, how important is it to ensure that our facts are correct before we hit the “Publish” button? Is speculation okay? Is it useful? –Sean Share this on Facebook Tweet This!

Last year I wrote about how the balance of content has shifted. Bottom line is there is more content being produced by Users than by Publishers these days. Which means Publishers (or Marketers) are now the “white noise” in comparison to User Generated Content. And perhaps these two things have something in common.
