Sommario/riassunto

This text considers the reasons behind the wild popularity of UContent (user-generated content) and makes strong arguments for cultivating it while serving as an overview, a status report, a primer, and a prognostication. In addition to the author's own UContent experiences, the book includes examples, insights, tips, and illustrations designed to help process, administer, and enjoy the UContent phenomenon.
