User Generated Content - The Mullet Strategy
posted by nick on July 29th, 2007
Personally, I can't resist a good mullet reference (especially when you can tie together mullets and user generated content). Perhaps it's the abundance of mullets in our area (Polk County, Florida).
From BuzzFeed - The Mullet Strategy:
The biggest sites on the web are all embracing the "mullet strategy" - business up front, party in the back! User generated content is all the rage but most of it totally sucks. That is why sites like YouTube, MySpace, CNN, and HuffPost are all embracing the mullet strategy. They let users party, argue, and vent on the secondary pages, but professional editors keep the front page looking sharp. The mullet strategy is here to stay because the best way for web companies to grow traffic is to let the users have control, but the best way to sell advertising is a slick, pretty front page where corporate sponsors can wistfully admire their brands.
