As defined on Wikipedia:
User-generated content (UGC), also known as consumer-generated media (CGM) or user-created content (UCC), refers to various kinds of media content, publicly available, that are produced by end-users. (End User is the audience.)
EXAMPLES OF UGC.
http://thelionandthelambrp.proboards.com/index.cgi (ROLEPLAYS IN GENERAL)
Forum roleplaying could be seen as UGC. This is because members will sign up to roleplay with other members. I see this as User Generated Content simply because the site is based on a film (which just one type of medium) and members are replying with their own version of plot events based after the series.
http://www.youtube.com
Youtube is a UGC simply because people upload the videos (this being the medium) and rating and commenting on them.
http://www.amazon.com
Amazon is another example because the audience review the items being put up on sale. They can also rate certain items.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/ (Itunes)
Itunes is a brilliant exaple of UGC because it allows users to purchase a convergence of mediums (music, film, tv and games) but then rate and review the items they purchase in a fashion similar to Amazon.
