"What makes someone an amateur isn't the absence of money; it's the absence of traditional credentials."
"Carefully checked sources and consistent editorial guidelines are key differences between most professional and amateur content." "Both bring value. The latter brings quickness and a personal viewpoint and the former provides analysis and consistent quality. "
The mergers between traditional media companies and user-generated sites are indications of where Internet content is headed, say experts at Wharton. The reality is that consumers will use and appreciate both.
There are leaders in social media. Blogger, Wordpress, Windows Live, Facebook, Myspace, Wikipedia, and Hi5. Many more are trying to get into more focused and local social media space.

Social Networks
Boyd and Ellison define social network sites as web-based services that allow individuals to (1) construct a public or semi-public profile within a bounded system, (2) articulate a list of other users with whom they share a connection, and (3) view and traverse their list of connections and those made by others within the system. The nature and nomenclature of these connections may vary from site to site.
