User-generated content and other Internet player websites

You can now watch on your TV a massive range of user-generated videos and professional videos that are central to many social networking and other Internet websites. With clips from amateurs through to high quality semi-professional content, these sites are hugely diverse and in theory have something for everyone. Watch out also for material from the big studios and broadcasters, which is increasingly popping up on the big name sites.

Take a look at some of the bigger names in user-generated content, and some of the more recent start-ups.
