    It is my core belief that people go onto social networks for a mixture of original and conventional content (Pro Football highlights, Coldplay music videos, etc.). That being said, I believe more and more people are interested in original content, especially when it is someone whom they know directly, or is from their hometown, etc. The novelty of knowing that the content was made by someone like them, is high quality and was not filmed at a professional studio or backlot, is not going to go away anytime soon, it will only grow.

    Social networks can benefit by putting the original content in overlapping categories, making it user-friendly to find exactly the type of content one looks for with the click of the 'enter' button. This will expand the time spent online for each social network and will allow companies to sponsor certain categories, such as 'Football', 'Music', 'Martial Arts', etc.

    Undoubtedly, the push to get more users to post original material will only help the Social Network to maintain high traffic and attract more people to its site.

    I believe as it becomes easier and easier to post animation, video, music, etc. to these sites, the more people will do it, at which point, traditional media will be affected (it already has been).
